I needed a binary-to-decimal conversion routine, to convert my binary (2

double-height 6-digit score routine.  The last digit is 0 in my game.  As I
only use two bytes for my score (binary), my range is 0-65535 (ie: score is
0-655350)

I'm going to be lazy here... Rather than write a version of the score handling to compare it, I'm going to make a suggestion and let you do the hard part ;)


Have you tried doing all your score calcs in BCD? That may save you a few instructions.
