AppSignature

This Build tool option allow to add an application signature to binary data (right after the header).

:: Add application signature to binary data (0=false, 1=true)
set AppSignature=1

:: Application company
set AppCompany="GL"

:: Application ID (0~65535)
set AppID=0

Application's signature is 4 bytes long and composed of:

• 2 bytes for the company/group/creator name (a 2-character string like "MX" for example),
• 2 bytes for the application number (any value between 0 and 65535).

If 2-character string is recommended for group name and integer for application number, in fact, both of those parameter can be any of:

• 2-character string ("MX" for example),
• 16-bits decimal unsigned number (1234 for example),
• 16-bits hexadecimal number starting with 0x (0x0750 for example).

Some company string are reserved:

String	Company's name
"AB"	Konami (Boxing and Football)
"CD"	Konami (many games)
"EF"	Konami (Pennant Race and Knightmare 3)
"JP"	Johan (?)
"GH"	Reserved
"gl"	MSXgl (samples)
"PP"	Pixel Phenix
"YZ"	Konami (Game Master 2)
"XX"	Reserved

Come on Discord to reserve your name.

• At ROM start address +0010h,
• At Basic binary start address +0007h.
