I just miss some math instructions, sometimes. But that's all.
But you may be sure: My "slow implementation" will runs everywhere.
Your "fast" implemantation will run on your house. Look at DalPoz
SuperFastCopy! It's the faster disk copier possible. But it only
runs on port based interfaces. As result? Almost no one knows
DalPoz's Super Fast Copy!

Sometimes I think "Oh! If this opcode just exists I could replace these
ten lines by one!". But then I think "nah, this way is better. This is
which make the programming something nice!".
If there was a opcode for everything, anyone would do everything. And it
would be all "one opcode programs", because there is even an opcode "WordProcessor"
and this type of things.

I think that programers for 6502 are real artists.
