If you can't do all little effort yourself and read trough this topic you won't get much help (at least from me) All you like to know is listed in this topic.
Well, took me till now (with pauses inbetween) to read through all (not missing anything) as engl. isnt my native language. At least i know: hp if i don't set custom.
Lol, you must be kidding,right? Ever thought about reading the '!uselike.txt' included in the download folder for vbslic stuff?
Ah well, that doesnt say anything about hp. Also i didnt want to miss any changes as well as some add. info.
Yes, user_hidden, the SLICTable ExtraDataItem is working as expected; it is very easy to implement, no need to patch anymore. It seems that my collaboration in this area have come to an end. It have been a pleasure , see you around. atreyu

Hi, I've been following this thread for a while now and have managed to apply a couple of the ready made patches that have previously been posted. However, I'm lost with this current development using the new ExtraDataItem feature. I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction so I can learn how to implement it on my system (Win7 host). Thanks
you do realize you can still use the VBA patcher from atreyu on the current release. i haven't played with the extradataitem but i presume you add it to the particular VM's xml file which has an extension of " .vbox "
Code: <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/acpi/0/Config/SLICTable" value="/full/path/to/slic_table.bin"/> Sorry, but from where do we get the slic_table.bin file, is it the one used for BIOS modding?
From what I understand, the new version of VirtualBox (4.2) doesn't necessitate atreyu's patch any more. Only a simple edit to the .VBOX file of the VM is necessary. Sorry for asking a noob question (again), but where exactly can I get a slic_table.bin file from? Do I download one from MDL here, or do I somehow need to create one myself with a SLIC dump application? Please try to be informative with your answer, and give a simple step-by-step. Thanks.
