Are you running out of memory? If so, then how much free memory do you have, and how much more do you need? running fa...

I want to optimize my code, but I don't know which is more faster and uses less memory. If I use variables (uhh, maybe registers?) like OAM or OAM_SUB, It will be more than one statement and thus uses more ROM memory than using API (like oamSet). However, oamSet is a function and it will use call st...
