    Thanks for the solution. Do you know if there's a way to extract and view the images? I want to remove the Pentuim logo but I don't know which of the 3 it is. (I know this isn't the right thread for this sorry)

    CBROM. It can be a bit confusing, are you familiar with this tool.

    It would appear to be LOGO module..It is a straight up 600x480 bitmap. I would suggest changing it and not removing it..:D

    See below..

    Yes, I have succesfully added images to the BIOS. I'm a little confused on how to extract and read the images though...
    I have 2 things appear at boot, that same fullscreen splash and a pentium logo in the bottom right corner of it. They are seperate as it still appears with the other splash. I want to remove that if possible.

    command prompt: cbrom GC-0313.BIN /LOGO extract

    Will be extracted to the working directory

    Change as you want. Keep colors (I believe 256) palette as extracted for safety. I think it is not important for this one..

    you can remove the file after extracted by:
    CBROM GC-0313.BIN /LOGO release

    to reinsert:

    CBROM GC-0313.BIN /LOGO INTEL.BMP


    I think the names mean little, but I keep them the same to minimize confusion..The module names must be the same..

    The ODB_BMP modules are probably what you are after. Maybe black these out with FFh bytes in winhex??

    Thanks for the rapid response. I have extracted the osb_bmp files, but they refuse to open in windows or photoshop. With a little logic I have figured out that 64N4IMB.bmp must be "Intel MotherBoard" logo and 64N4IPP.bmp must be "Intel Pentuim Processor" logo. Thanks for the help!

    The format is unknown to me..:D Seems to be AWDBMD..maybe using one of the AWDBMP tools..MAYBE. I think it you simpy zero the files out and reinsert them, it will be ok. The only problem may be the Meminit module. Only one should not be a problem, but these are known to be sensitive to offset change. We call them sensible modules for this feature..If you ever hear of this verbage in convo here..:D:D

    Usually, being very general, one Sensible module, no problem
    two sensible modules, be careful moving them
    three or more and they MUST be kept at their offsets.

    For FYI..
