    Remember to uninstall Vistaloader or the bios mod won't work.

    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 :).

    Some Vistaloader (softmods) are using the MBR or PBS. Formatting doesn't remove them......You have to re-partition the drive, or to use special uninstaller VOATK tool.
    Also easybcd is able to rewrite MBR / PBS....

    My thoughts as well. Hence this tool that can be used with mmtool!

    I am looking at the SSV2 thread. Any guides for AMI BIOS file structure. Seems to have some sort of initial header (ASUSTEK padded to 10h with 0s then 12 FFh), followed by a 20 byte header for each module and then the compressed module. Repeats for all modules then padded with FFh until F0000h position in file. Then some sort of boot block.

    Any guides and any idea what sort of compression algorithm... looks like some sort of LZW algorithm.

    You need to install a cert and the serial number. The bios only allows activation via cert and number, it is only one piece of the puzzle.

    See the All SLICS tested/not tested thread for information at the top.
