$C08ED2-$C08EEC: 16-bit memcpy
memcpy(a, $0e..$10, x)
Copy memory similarly to the C memcpy function. Memory is copied in 16-bit words, ignoring the final byte if an odd length is requested. Implemented using trivial repeated LDA and STA calls.
Note: Unclear why EarthBound uses this routine instead of using the typically faster MVN or MVP CPU instructions.
Inputs
- x: Num bytes to copy. Because routine only copies in 16-bit words, only copies x - 1 if x % 2 == 1
- accumulator: Destination immediate pointer
- $0e..$10: Source long pointer
$C08EED-$C08EFB: 8-bit memcpy
memcpy($0e..$10, $12..$15, a)
$C08EFC-$C08F14: 16-bit memset
memset(a, $0e, x)
$C08F15-$C08F21: 8-bit memset
memset($0e..$10, a, x)
$C08F22-$C08F2E: strlen
strlen($0e..$10)
$C08F2F-$C08F41: strcmp(ish)
strcmpish($0e..$10, $12..$14)
$C08F42-$C08F67: Copy CPU state to memory
$C08F68-$C08F8A: Load CPU state from memory
