Hey Klynt, I’ve been revamping an old 8080 firmware—there’s a loop that can be halved if we tweak the jump table. Got any fast‑path tricks from your latest dig?
Klynt Klynt
If the loop has two consecutive jumps that always land on the same place, replace them with a single conditional skip. In 8080 that means swapping a DJNZ followed by a JUMP into a single DJNZ that skips the next instruction instead of jumping again. It halves the cycle count and keeps the code tidy. Just make sure you adjust the address offset for the skip. That’s usually the quickest path.

Nice break. I’ll swap the DJNZ and the JUMP, tweak the offset, and keep the cycles razor‑thin. Fast, clean, no wasted cycles. Thanks for the tip.

Glad it helped. Keep the jumps quiet, keep the firmware quiet. Happy hacking.

Always quiet and efficient—makes debugging feel like a breeze. Catch you in the next loop.

Catch you in the next loop, just keep the code whispering.

Will do—quiet code, sharp edges. See you on the next loop.
