The carry flag was being calculated using the modified accumulator value instead of the original value. For SBC, carry should be set if no borrow occurred (A >= M + (1 - C_in)), which requires using the original A and carry values before the subtraction. Save original A and C at the start of the function and use them for the carry calculation. This fixes unsigned comparisons that rely on the carry flag after SBC.

The V flag should indicate signed overflow - when the result of a signed operation doesn't fit in the destination size. The previous code was checking overflow on the result value, but wasn't properly sign-extending the operands before the arithmetic. For example, in 8-bit mode: - 0x7F + 0x01 should set V (127 + 1 = 128, overflows signed 8-bit) - The old code computed al = 0x80, then checked (int16_t)0x80 which is 128, correctly detecting overflow - But 0x80 + 0x80 was computed as al = 0x100, then (int16_t)0x100 = 256, which the old code thought was overflow, but the actual signed result is -128 + -128 = -256, which DOES overflow The fix sign-extends each operand to the wider type BEFORE computing, giving the mathematically correct signed result to check against the valid range. Affects: - ADC in 8-bit binary mode - ADC in 16-bit binary mode - SBC in 8-bit mode (binary and decimal) - SBC in 16-bit mode (binary and decimal)

Summary
The V flag should indicate signed overflow - when the result of a signed operation doesn't fit in the destination size. The previous code was checking overflow on the result value, but wasn't properly sign-extending the operands before the arithmetic.
The Bug
For example, in 8-bit mode:
0x7F + 0x01should set V (127 + 1 = 128, overflows signed 8-bit) ✓0x80 + 0x80was computed asal = 0x100, then(int16_t)0x100 = 256, which the old code thought was overflowThe old approach worked in many cases but failed when the unsigned result wrapped around.
The Fix
Sign-extend each operand to the wider type BEFORE computing, giving the mathematically correct signed result to check against the valid range:
