  • Mirroring UDG'sJust wondered is there a quick an easy way of mirroring UDGs (byte values)? i.e. BIN 11110000 becoming 00001111 etc.

    Good resource there!

    So now we just need Daveys full routine. My scribblings have so far failed to com much under 128 bytes anyway, somewhat missing the point of a routine to flip the UDGs instead of having a pre flipped version.
