Kyra/Opcodes

This page is a work-in-progress document listing VM opcodes of the Kyrandia games. Unless otherwise noted, these opcodes are based on Kyrandia 1. Cyx created the list of Cmd functions, clem and Lordhoto will try to fill in parameters and usage notes. If you have any additions, contact the ScummVM team on IRC.

Opcodes

There are more complete disassemblers around, will add their info ASAP.

 44 = push
 45 = ? compare [sp], [xx] ?
 49 = ? copy [xx], [sp] ?
 4C = add sp,xx   ; what would be dec sp,xx? maybe 4B or 4E?
 4E = execute command (see below)
