The shl and shr instructions are often documented to take both a Vx and a Vy argument. It’s a bit unclear what the behaviour here is meant to be. The original CHIP-8 implementation shifted Vy by 1 and stored the result in Vx. Some GitHub projects shift the value in Vx by the value in Vy. Ahoy takes the approach of SCHIP where Vx is shifted by 1 and Vy is ignored. The Ahoy assembler does not recognize a second Vy argument to either instruction.
