Do you know them by heart or do you use doc?

Hi
I was wondering if hardware banging coders know all registers by heart in
1) hex values
2) include names
3) No I just use the documentation.

3) for me, I don't think my brain is able to store them anyway.

If i'm hacking/cracking something, I remember hex values, but if i'm coding in Devpac, I at least try to use includes and stuff so that my code is at least readable when I return to it, whereas something i'm hacking, once its done, i'm unlikely to ever go back to it.

Can probably count better in hex than I do decimal

I use all the current includes, bit names as they are defined in the HRM - but I keep a copy of the HRM next to me just in case and a file with Randy's AGA docs just in case.

Apart from color00 (180) I don't know any by heart - but I don't do any reverse engineering/cracking.

Most of the time I remember them, if I don't then I look them up
