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.

Oh, ok, thanks quigibo. Didn't see that at first lol

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)

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.
