Hidden Credits#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Maybe the first strings can be viewed somehow?

Upon de-XORing, MENU.OV2 contains a few hidden credits:

From 0x2C1 is a credit to programmer Éric Zmiro, followed by a build date:

ALL ROUTINE BY ERIC ZMIRO
09 26 1987

Furthermore, 0x76E0 to 0x7898 is padded out by another credit:

E.ZMIRO & EH SERVICES 

In addition to these credits, it's also possible to see the string ZMIRO at offset 0x6 of menu.co_.
