LSPlayer (CIA version) by Leonard
As far as I understand the two subroutines LSP_MainIrq and LSP_DMAconIrq are called in turns, i.e., the 1st one sets int6 to the 2nd one and vice versa.
I am curious about the first line in both subroutines: .LSP_MainIrq: btst.b #0,$bfdd00 int6 triggered by timerA LSP_DMAconIrq: btst.b #1,$bfdd00 int6 triggered by timerB First I thought - since we have to read out $bfdd00 anyway for clearing the pending of the CIA int - that this may be a kind of extra check for ensuring that both subroutines are called in the correct order (killing two birds with one stone), but on second thought I am not sure about this. Okay, to make a long story short: What is the btst check good for and why not a simple tst.b $bfdd00 w/o branch? |

As you may have noticed, they check different bits - one for each timer.
This verifies that it's the correct interrupt source that triggered the ISR. |

sure, but isn't it redundant here

It's redundant if you only use timers A and B, and nothing else that can trigger CIAB interrupts. Those 2 timer callbacks are serialized so no problem there, but if something else is running in parallel (enabled after your call to player init) and triggers an interrupt then you have a problem.
