:-)  Glad that the code was of use to you!  There are a couple more conversion routines in there should you find them of interest.  You can also convert to Lo-res, Double-hires, and "flicker" modes where it generates two lo-res or two dhgr images that you can alternate during vblank to produce a perceptually higher color image.  It does actually work, though the flicker will be apparent.
