INTRODUCTION
This is a pack of routines and various files i've built over the years.
I can't say i haven't been inspired by others, so some stuff expands|fixes existing work.
Optimisation is mostly towards speed, and system code is used as rarely as possible.
Each file includes deep documentation.
COMPATIBILITY
Except if specified, all TI-8X+ models (monochrome screen) are supported.
Same goes for official systems and boot codes.
Everything else should be considered unsupported.
DISCLAIMER
For each routine, you are expected to follow EVERYTHING that's in the "IN" section.
Also, when there's a "WARNING" section, it's to be taken seriously.
If something is unclear, feel free to ask there BEFORE using : https://www.omnimaga.org/asm-language/flash-snacks/
NOTE ABOUT "OUT" SECTIONS
? means a register is to be considered destroyed.
Unlisted registers are unchanged, except for :
pc,r : always destroyed
af',bc',de',hl' : unchanged if interrupts disabled beforehand | destroyed otherwise
When the f register is detailed, each bit can be :
0 : zero
1 : one
X : variable-known (see "flags")
? : variable-unknown (destroyed)

Those are pretty neat especially the last one! I wish I had an excuse to use them.
Why don't you include a faster version of the flash to ram bcall while you are at it? It should be pretty easy since all you have to do is swap the flash bank into $4000-$4FFF and ldir it to ram and swap the page when needed.

Yeah, the day i coded the last one, i truly fell in love with conditionnal ret instructions, as a freakin' fast way to exit very low level loops.
About the routine you're talking about, it's not what i would exactly call flash-related, since you're writing to ram, so i'm not sure if it fits in this thread.
Also, i'm pretty sure plenty of routines like that can already be found.

^This. Nice work!

Thanks a bunch, I might think a way to use this! @E37 : there are some pretty decent existing flash-to-RAM routines.
A classic way to increment HL through RAM pages is to do something like:
inc l
call z,incHLmem1
...
...
incHLmem1:
inc h
ret po
ld h,a
in a,(6)
inc a
out (6),a
ld a,h
ld h,40h
ret
That method averages between 14cc and 15cc and advances the page as needed. You need to initialize by swapping in the correct page, though.
Here is my take on a flash-to-RAM routine, though:
FlashToRAM:
;Inputs: Same as LDIR, but A is the page number.
;Outputs:
; Same as LDIR, except A is the ending page.
;
;Speed:
;RAM: 21+21n
;ARC, but no boundary: 114+21n
;Arc, on two pages: 21n+269
;Arc, on three pages: 21n+355
or a
jp z,ReadRAM
out (6),a
add hl,bc
; jr c,read_from_Arc_blocks ;if you need this, you probably need a different routine. This implies that writing will eventually reach the 0x0000 to 0x3FFF range.
jp p,read_from_ARC_noboundary
read_from_Arc_blocks:
;If we make it here, we know that we cross a page boundary (or in one case, we just reach it and need to return on the next page).
;We will read in blocks to avoid checking page boundaries
;To do so, we first read up to 0x8000 - HL bytes
xor a
sbc hl,bc
sub l \ ld l,a
ld a,$80 \ sbc a,h \ ld h,a
;now we will subtract BC-HL -> BC
ld a,c \ sub l \ ld c,a
ld a,b \ sbc a,h \ ld b,a
push bc
ld b,h
ld c,l
xor a \ sub l \ ld l,a
ld a,$80 \ sbc a,h \ ld h,a
;now we read the first block
block_loop:
ldir
;now we increment the page and continue reading from $4000
in a,(6)
inc a
out (6),a
ld h,40h
pop bc
;if BC<$4000, just LDIR the rest
ld a,b
sub h
jr c,read_from_RAM
ld b,a
push bc
ld b,h
ld c,l
jp block_loop
read_from_ARC_noboundary:
; or a ;already reset
sbc hl,bc
read_from_RAM:
ldir
in a,(6)
ld b,a
page_restore = $+1
ld a,0
out (6),a
ld a,b
ld b,c
ret
ReadRAM:
ldir
ret
It needs to run in RAM and uses SMC.

August snacks just arrived !
Added 19 new routines.
I will probably add 2 more packs in the future, lcd & archive stuff.
-
CHANGES
> Continued to improve descriptions & comments.
> Added necessary warnings for noobs.
> Code change : keybscan (slightly faster, different outputs).
> LCD snack pack was added, including 11 routines, and a fully Notepad-compatible font.
EDIT
Slightly updated the following, which are now slightly faster :
lcddisp
lcddispstrb
lcdfill
lcdinv
lcdinvchr
lcdinvstr
lcdsave
-
UPDATE
> lcddispcur has been replaced by lcdinvcur, which performs a cursor inversion, rather than just a display.
> sectcheck is now able to detect soft protection.
> optimised : intdefaults,intdisable,lcdcfg,lcddisp,lcddispstrb,lcdfill,lcdinv,lcdsave,romwrite1,romwritex
> No more .txt files, each .z80 now has its full documentation inside.
> Merged variants of the same routine into a single .z80.
> Some routines have been renamed to better match what they do.
