I've been working on disassembling some 8-bit code from the 90s. Fuckers returned bits from functions using the overflow bit. Nuts.

What era was that device? Some old games on NES had to use all kinds of quirks like this to overcome hardware limitation.

It's in an AlphaSmart. I'm working through disassembling the ROM to add some new features.
