I could just picture a couple fighting over weather to "xor eax by eax" or "and eax by 0"...
Then kids'll come home and argue with their parents that readabilty is better than size and that "mov eax, 0" would be best because that's "more readable." (Even if it really isn't...)

question about the bios/memory, is there any region of memory that my OS shouldn't use?

i'm making a x86 emulator *duck* and i'm trying to determine if i can extract my bios from my computer to use as the startup code for my emulator (like a real pc does). anyone know where i can find a tool to do this? or...

do other emulators have their own bios written for them Huh i should go and find out. anyone know?

oh and anyone know if extracting the bios and using it like that is illegal? i don't think so but you can never be too sure Undecided

you dont need to extract your Bios just hook all the interrupts and perform the apropate actions.
