Cuveesoft.ch emulators - getting programs to them on an iPhone

Either an error in the program listing or a problem in the emulator.

At the end of a ball shot, the program is to loop and add the bonus points to the total 1000 points at a time. When they are all added, it goes to the next ball.

Problem is it adds 1000 points in a loop and does not stop.

Here's Craig Pearce's BYTE article for Pinball Wizard. I think the program matches the listing there.

Any ideas?

There are two typos in the original listing as found in BYTE magazine:
Line 80: LBL f c 16 21 13. The command is correct, but the key codes should be 21 16 13.
Line 139: LBL 0 21 16. Again wrong key code, should be 16 00.

As you noted, line 189 on your website must be RCL 6.
In the program you sent me, line 153 is g x≠y (32 61). However, the listing on the website shows 153 X NE 0?, which translates to 31 61.
The wrong comparison causes the endless loop you described.

With all changes applied, RPN-67 and 97 run Pinball Wizard correctly, as verified against a real HP-67.

I'll add the program to the RPN-67 online library shortly.
