Change Rom Version

[jamio88]

Well, I am working on building my own Custom ROM. My question is (when I get to that point), How do I go about changing the Rom Version name and the Rom Date?

I have tried to google it but with no luck yet. Any help at all on how to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ROM Version is comprised of two items; the XIP and the SYS.

The XIP version is driven out of the file "d92a4f0a-378a-4482-8fd3-bd127a05e4de.dsm" which you would find in the XIP package "MSXIPKernelLTK".

The SYS version is driven out of the file "d0b41563-b345-4444-aa15-986e7c7fff99.dsm" which you would find in the SYS package "OS".

ROM date comes from NK.EXE, specifically the S000 portion of the NK.EXE module. You can find the date by searching (hex editor) for Dec.Nov.Oct.Sep. Three lines, four month abbreviations per line, preceed the date for the ROM.

There are some things that you can do to tailor the rom version and aku, without cooking ... very limited, but it's something.
