addbanner

Description

addbanner is a tool for confirming whether and how banner file created with the makebanner tool is actually displayed.

As the name indicates, addbanner was originally a tool for inserting banner files in ROM files. But since the banner file insertion process is usually done with the makerom tool, it is now unnecessary to use this tool for insertion.

How to Use

Start Command

% addbanner [-t VIEWER_TEMPLATE] BANNERFILE [VIEWER]

Outputs an execution ROM file called VIEWER. This file is for displaying on the NITRO screen banner files created using BANNERFILE. VIEWER can be omitted. When VIEWER is omitted, this uses a filename with .srl as the extension part of the filename specified by BANNERFILE.

addbanner uses the BannerViewerTemplate.srl in the same directory as addbanner.exe for the template ROM file that becomes the VIEWER creation source file. addbanner replaces the banner file of the template ROM file with the file specified by BANNERFILE, and is only output with the name specified by VIEWER.

The -t option changes the template ROM file responsible for VIEWER creation. This is usually unnecessary.

Location
