GENESIS

And the processor was without form, or void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Arceus moved upon the face of the bits.

And Arceus said, Let there be registers: and there were registers.

And Arceus saw the registers, that they were good: and Arceus divided the higher registers from the lower.

And Arceus called the upper {r8-12, sp, lr, pc}, and the lower he called {r0-r7}. And the push and the pop were the first commands.

And Arceus said, Let there be a memory bus in the midst of the Game Pak, and let it divide the ROM from the RAM.

And from silicon die, Arceus cast the ARM7TDMI. Arceus saw the CPU and saw that it cycled, sequentially, and non-sequentially, and saw that it was good.

EXODUS

And Arceus spoke all these words:

“I am the Arceus your God, who brought you out of scripting, out of the land of noobishness.”

1. “If thou modify thine holy stack pointer, though shalt return it to its former, glorious, state”
2. “Thou shalt always optimise thine code.”
3. “Thou shalt not touch registers thou hast not pushed, excepting those number zero till three.”
4. “Thou shalt always appropriately align thine code.”
5. “Thou shalt use the engine functions when possible, as code repetition is the most abhorrent of sins.”
6. “Thou shalt never write to memory which is marked read-only, excepting when said area is mapped to IO Registers.”
7. “If thou mallocs thou must then free.”
8. “Thine least significant bit is very significant when calling Thumb, but must be low when calling ARM.”
9.
