Millisecond Display Cycler [Dea]

This code is used as a supplementation to another code to display a specific value at a desired memory address (designated by the XXXXXXXX value). Simply configure your other ASM to store your desired halfword or word value to the desired memory address. This code will display that value in decimal form cycling thru the entire value and repeating nonstop. There will be two seconds of '000' shown after your read halfword/word to help you identify the beginning of the read value if there are duplicate numbers shown.

Please note this code makes use of the following addresses:
0x81450000 thru 0x81450004
Your Memory address of XXXXXXXX thru XXXXXXXX + 6.

Z Values (for making the code show two seconds of '000' after your display halfword/word):
4 = For Halfwords (2 bytes/2-seconds of display data)
6 = For Words (4 bytes/4-seconds of displayed data)

XXXX XXXX = Memory address for timer to read from

Example Z/X values:
You have a word value and want it stored at 0x800015A0.
Z would equal 6.
XXXX XXXX would equal 8000 15A0

Final note: This code makes use to mem81. If you are displaying data on the Timer in TT mode, restarting the TT doesn't clear mem81, thus the code won't function properly after a TT restart. You must go to something like the character select screen to clear mem81. Just an FYI.
