# 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.
