Description

Is it possible to restore the content of the old CPU instruction set table? The current content, I believe, is more relevant to emulator development and less obviously useful for homebrew development. The alternative documentation provided lists all instruction combinations in great detail, lacking the conciseness and ease of reference of the original instruction table.

Perhaps those who wrote the documentation no longer need to refer to this section, but I personally hope that beginners can have a simpler introductory version, which the original version provided.

Research direction

Start by locating the current CPU instruction-set documentation and use Git history to find the removed table. Compare the old table with the current alternative and check the issue discussion for the intended audience. Done means the concise beginner-friendly reference is restored or the documentation change is explicitly resolved.
