signing apps
« on: December 31, 2010, 06:22:55 pm »
I'm sure this has been asked before..but...

Nooby question: How do you sign apps ?  :-[ I downloaded wabbitsign but I can't figure out how it works. (Specifically Axe generated appas that are already in .8xk format, not in .bin or .asm format) I don't want to use ducksign (because it doesn't get rid of the 16use limit, right?)

Well, for axe apps, I used rabbitsign, but then, after trying to create my own apps, none of the apps worked, so I used a patch by brandonw to trick my calc into thinking that all files had been signed.

On a side note, do Axe applications can only be used 16 times?

There is a field in the app header that if it's not signed, it's considered a temporary or trial app, which gets deleted after 16 (or maybe 18) times.

There is already a signer included with Axe under "Tools".  I made a batch file for it so its super easy to use.

You can also use ducksign to sign it on-calc ( check on-calc app signature topic something like that )

Ducksign does not modify the certificate properly.

So, squidgetx, is this what I think it is? (The Ash: Phoenix demo)

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

There is a field in the app header that if it's not signed, it's considered a temporary or trial app, which gets deleted after 16 (or maybe 18) times.
A small quibble: it's not the app header or signature that's the issue; there's a separate field (stored on the certificate page) that indicates whether it's a limited-trial app.  That field gets set when you install an app by normal means (over the link port), but not when it's created by Axe.

Signing the application is a tangential issue: it needs to be signed in order to be transferred to another calculator.

Oh yes, that's right. I remember now, because I was appalled (sp?) at how often the calcs actually messed with the certificate.
