here's a routine I cooked up a while ago that can take either an 8-bit or 16-bit number and output decimal versions into memory (one decimal digit per byte of memory, which could then be added with the tile # of the "0" to be put on-screen). it even counts up the number of significant digits, which you could use when writing to the screen (so 16 wouldn't be written as 016 or 00016).
it works by looking at each bit and if set, performing a decimal math operation "by hand" using a table of decimal values.
anyhow, I just thought I'd throw this out there for you to use if you'd like, or if you have any suggestions on how to optimize it or make it less "hackish", I'm definetely open to them. I've used this before, and it works.
here goes:
hex2dec_d4:
.db 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,3
hex2dec_d3:
.db 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,2,4,8,6,2
hex2dec_d2:
.db 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,2,5,0,0,0,1,3,7
hex2dec_d1:
.db 0,0,0,0,1,3,6,2,5,1,2,4,9,9,8,6
hex2dec_d0:
.db 1,2,4,8,6,2,4,8,6,2,4,8,6,2,4,8

I copied-and-pasted it right out of some code I wrote, I only edited out the "<"s which NESASM seems to require for zero-page addressing (otherwise it'll use 16-bit addressing in the assembled code... go figure).
The DIGITS-counting routine will return 1 if the resulting number was all zeroes, so at least the one "0" will be printed.
note that the decimal number is output backwards (eg., for a number "123", OUT.0 = 3, OUT.1 = 2, OUT.2 = 1, OUT.3 = 0, OUT.4 = 0), so to read it, you'd do something like this:
print_decimal:
ldx DIGITS
print_decimal_2:
lda OUT.0 - 1,x
adc #PATTERN_TABLE_TILE_OF_NUMBER_ZERO
sta $2007
dex
bne print_decimal_2
rts
That could be modified to align numbers to the right by explicitly doing 'LDX #5' and then writing a blank tile if X>DIGITS, but I don't feel like doing that now. :)
The whole routine could be modified to do even larger numbers (24-bit hex to 8-digit decimal, for example), but it'd be even more hackish; plus, some of the branches may be too long, which would require taking out the body of the code and moving it elsewhere, and JSRing to it or something.
Anyhow, that's that. Any thoughts?
...just another vision... Studios
