As far as the FC module...no It will not do the work..I guess it could be fitted to it, but you would have to extract the 1b and the FC modules..Not saving any work. I think the 80h module will still be affected. The modifiy time and date will change, as well as byte in various places. I am not proficient in my knowledge of the changes here in the 80h mod as some, but I think the difference will still be noticed. I will strengthen my knowledge in the coming month, as my educating job is on break... This is a handy tool, but I dont think it shortens my time any..Strong work though!! Some will find it handy, and that is success in and of itself. As far as bothering us..I enjoy the change and will help as I can. Bother away, some out there are a pleasure to assist...others, well..............
Hi Not that sophisticated I'm afraid. The likes of yen, 911medic and zort have probably forgotten more about BIOS modding than I will ever know!!! It very simply modifies a binary image of the (extracted) 1B module by finding and inserting the SLIC at 200h before 'AMIBIOS', and finding and modding the RSDT and XSDT tables size, OEM table string and SLIC pointer. I have 2 asus boards that only need the above hence the tool. It does not manipulate the BIOS directly. I need to look (out of own interest) further at FC methods, v2 methods etc... although I don't have any of these boards to test personally. I certainly don't intend to compete with tools like yen's. Take care, Andy
This is an interesting point... what, if anything, is there to choose between amimmwin and mmtool... has anyone ever found cases where a bios generated with one doesn't work whereas the other does... Andy
My understanding is MMTool is the safer one to use. Amimmwin is over 3 years old so I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't handle some newer bioses correctly. Also in the case of Asus BIOS, amimmwin overwrites "ASUSTEK" signature which has to be fixed afterward. I do use it sometimes for this: amimmwin xxx.rom /info xxx.txt. I'd recommend looking into SSV2 next. It can be used with any AMI BIOS, and is the safest way since no offsets change for any modules. (It takes longer and isn't always needed though.)
Gotcha guys. Considering the fact that I have been formatting my computer a lot, the Vista mod always gets uninstalled. I will see how to clean the CMOS now. I will use the modded BIOS once someone has it. Thanks .
