Hexdisp.asm

Functions Provided

Entry point	Function provided	Notes
HEX16	Print a hexadecimal number	Prints a 16-bit hexadecimal number
HEX12M		Prints the 12 most significant bits as a 3 digit hexadecimal number
HEX8M		Prints the 8 most significant bits as a 2 digit hexadecimal number
HEX4M		Prints the 4 most significant bits as a 1 digit hexadecimal number
HEX12		Prints the 12 least significant bits as a 3 digit hexadecimal number
HEX8		Prints the 8 least significant bits as a 2 digit hexadecimal number
HEX4		Prints the 4 least significant bits as a 1 digit hexadecimal number

See source code below for calling convention.

Notes

If you only need to print 16-bit hex numbers, you can use hex16.asm instead. hex16.asm and this file cannot coexist in the same program though. These functions are mostly meant for debug and other non-game purposes anyway.
