This version isn't playing well with the Integrator for combining with games. When I combined the files, I'm getting these two glitches (mainly the second one is seen when using emulator at 100% speed) when exiting the APX Logo screen (400/800 or XL/XE), before the game (Eastern Front 1941) starts. I'm not sure exactly where the problem lies, as your version seems to exit cleanly to the Self-Test by itself (although I do get the first glitch screen -- shown below -- when exiting from your version using a 400/800; should it go to Memo Pad instead?).

The problem is that I did not restore the original display list after exit, and probably some games need that. I optimized the sources a little, and added code to restore the original display list, my tests shown that it works ok. Also, the new versions don't have a RUN address, only INIT, so can be simply concatenated with other programs to add the loader screen. As a test, I made an ATR with Easter front, it works ok here.

I figured that'd be your next step. BTW, you got one value incorrect for the PAL colors: it should be $60 instead of $62. I corrected it and recompiled here. So, here's all the games I posted before (+ one more) using the new 400/800 NTSC/PAL compatible logo.
