[A83] Re: returning to OS in call routines



The SpriteClip routines by CrASH_Man are pretty worthwhile reasons to
have SMC.. of course it's not absolutely nessecary, but the performance
gain is several fold. Beyond that, I've tried to make the sprite height
a register argument, and it's damn hard to do. But I guess you could
just use a fixed height and not need to ever do SMC.

When do you absolutely need self modifying code?
