I don?t think there is one! I?ll alias in_wait() to msleep() and deprecate it.

Are you referring to in_waitkey ?
If so the difference is self explained in the function names.

It's the in_Wait(), my guess is it's the same as msleep()

Found . They seem to do the same sightly differently.

For what I can see, in_Wait is available only on few targets (timing hardcoded for a 3.5mhz CPU clock) and halts for a given number of milliseconds.

asm_z80_delay_ms apparently does the same but basing on a CPU clock constant making it more portable (and slightly bigger).
