The GBZ80 (Sharp SM83) is the CPU that powers the original Nintendo Gameboy and Gameboy Color handheld consoles. It is kind of an in-between the Intel 8080 and Z80. Awesome Gameboy resources GBDev wiki Emudev (q00.gb)

The GBZ80 lacks the alternate register set, the dedicated I/O bus, the R register, the index registers (thus no DD and FD prefixed opcodes), the ED prefixed opcodes (including block transfer), the sign and parity/overflow flags (and all conditional instructions that used them), the undocumented flags (thus no leaking of WZ and Q internal registers). GBZ80 opcodes

The GBZ80 also lacks the NMI pin (thus no IFF2 and no RETN), the IM instructions and the I register. It has a different interrupt system than the Z80. Source

The Nintendo documentation does not mention M-cycles or T-states at all. They only mention CPU cycles, which are always equal to 4 T-states (like NOPs in the CPC world). Also, the GBZ80 has different timings than the Z80. For example:

  • CALL nn takes 6 cycles on the GBZ80, but 5 NOPs on the Z80
  • ADD HL,ss takes 2 cycles on the GBZ80, but 3 NOPs on the Z80

Flags can differ too: the DAA instruction clears HF in the GBZ80, but not in the Z80.

Fun fact: Way more GBZ80 cores were produced for Gameboy hardware (118 million Gameboys and 81 million GBA) than all the Z80 chips produced for home computers and game consoles. Learn GBZ80 Assembly Programming with ChibiAkumas


Registers

Register Size Description Notes
B, C, D, E, H, L 8-bit General-purpose registers Can form 16-bit pairs: BC, DE, HL
A (Accumulator) 8-bit Main register for arithmetic, logic, and data transfer Most used register
F (Flags) 8-bit
  • bit7 - ZF - Zero Flag
  • bit6 - NF - Negate Flag (last ALU op was subtract or compare)
  • bit5 - HF - Half Carry Flag
  • bit4 - CF - Carry Flag
  • bits3..0 - Always 0
 NF and HF are used in the DAA algorithm
SP (Stack Pointer) 16-bit Points to top of the stack Used for subroutine calls and interrupt handling
PC (Program Counter) 16-bit Points to the next instruction Automatically increments as instructions execute

Legend:

  • r,s: 000=B, 001=C, 010=D, 011=E, 100=H, 101=L, 111=A (110 is treated separately)
  • pp: 00=BC, 01=DE, 10=HL, 11=SP
  • qq: 00=BC, 01=DE, 10=HL, 11=AF

Oddities

  • EI has a 1-instruction delay. It is necessary for doing EI/RETI without any danger of nested interrupt routines.
  • RST instructions are just a CALL instruction to a fixed address baked in the instruction itself.
  • Despite what the syntax of the instructions JP (HL/IX/IY) suggests, PC will be loaded with the contents of the register itself, not the indexed value. Those instructions should be understood as JP HL/IX/IY.
  • The instructions LD A,A, LD B,B, LD C,C, LD D,D, LD E,E, LD H,H and LD L,L are useless. Their existence is just a side effect of how instructions are encoded as opcodes in the CPU. However, some Game Boy emulators (such as BGB) interpret LD B,B as a breakpoint, or LD D,D as a debug message.
  • While the syntax of the 8-bit ADD, ADC and SBC instructions all explicitly mention the A register, the SUB instruction does not mention it.
  • Arithmetic can only really be done on the A register.
  • PUSH and POP instructions utilize a 16-bit operand and the high-order byte is always pushed first and popped last. PUSH HL is PUSH H then L. POP HL is POP L then H.
  • ADD SP,e takes 4 cycles, while LDHL SP,e takes only 3 cycles.
