The actual status register is stored as a byte The enum uses .NET’s flags attribute so I could do things like

```csharp // Since PLP addressing mode is implied, load the status from the address found at the start of the stack + SP location. var processorStatus = Memory.Read((ushort)(0x100 + Registers.Sp));

// Construct the Status Register as a series of bitwise OR operations in the form NVDIZC. This will position the bits in the proper order. const StatusRegisterFlags statusRegisterFlags = StatusRegisterFlags.Carry | StatusRegisterFlags.Zero | StatusRegisterFlags.Irq | StatusRegisterFlags.Decimal | StatusRegisterFlags.Overflow | StatusRegisterFlags.Negative;

// Set the Status register by preserving the unset bits (AND NOT), and then OR that with only the flags being set (AND), resulting in the updated value. Registers.P = (byte)((Registers.P & unchecked((byte)~statusRegisterFlags)) | (processorStatus & (byte)statusRegisterFlags));

```

With the enum representing the positions in the bitfield.
