The TMSS (Trade Mark Security Software) is the little rom inside the console who will verify if the game is licenced by SEGA.

At startup the console with execute the TMSS code and not the cart one.

The TMSS will check if the string at 0x100 is either 'SEGA' or ' SEGA'. If it is, it will display "PRODUCED BY OR UNDER LICENCE FROM SEGA ENTERPRISES LTD" on the screen for about 2 seconds then start the game. If not it will simply display a black screen.

The code use two register, $A14000 and $A14101. While the first has currently unknown purpose (but it is possible that writing to it unlock the VDP), the second control the bankswitching between the cart and the TMSS rom.

Setting the first bit to 1 enable the cart, and setting it to 0 enable the TMSS.

Here is the code disassembled and commented.
