<br><br>My requirement is to be able to persist various options such as player names and rankings. I had already been thinking about generating a unique token and storing it somewhere at the end of the flash area so that when my game connects to a game server, it can identify itself and be provided with all the previous settings. Obviously, just claiming a random area of flash isn't ideal, so your standardised solution would be perfect for this.
<br><br>I would like, therefore, to reserve a single key to hold a 64-bit sized token in order to identify the machine across reboots. I don't mind particularly whether it's private to my application or a generally available field, but certainly having an identifier I can rely on would be very useful.
