The Branch if Greater Than or Equal opcode (BGE) is a two-decle opcode that is a part of the Branch family of opcodes. It is also known as Branch if Not Less Than. This instruction causes the CP1610 to branch if the Sign Flag is equal to the Overflow Flag to the address specified by the following parameters.

where:
d indicates the direction of the branch such that: d == 0 indicates to branch in the forward direction d == 1 indicates to branch in the reverse direction
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa indicates the amount of offset
