Again, be careful with that Harbour book. Be sure to read other references as well.

The Harbour book is badly written and just does not go into enough detail. He just presents code and expects you to understand it. It just makes you wonder if he knows what he's talking about. For example, he didn't even explain what the different flags mean in his DMA fast copy function do. He also has some mistakes. The most glaring mistake is his vblank function. His coding standards are horrible: he includes C source code from gfx2gba at the beginning of his code. His assembly chapter is a joke.
Is this why Nintendo didn't let Harbour publish his book?

However, I do keep his book as a reference.
