I have downloaded a new bios. But I would like to determine the SLIC version in the new bios BEFORE flashing my motherboard, how can i do this?
Start reading people....he said BEFORE flashing Anyway, you can try to open it in hex Editor, find SLICv
If this is a BIOS Rom coming from the OEM (i.e. unmodified), you probably won't find anything since most structures within the file are compressed and only expanded to memory at runtime. You would need to find and use a Bios editor tied to the manufacturer of the bios (AMI, Award, Phoenix, etc.) to load the file and look at the expanded structures to find the SLIC table. If it's an already patched BIOS (i.e. patched manually to include a SLIC table), then using an Hex editor might be enough.
I'm sorry bro. You're absolutely right. I really didn't read this one well. Working other things too and lost focus...sry for that
Nope..unless it is a AMI with SSv2 mod..all others have the SLIC in a module. You need a tool like Andy's that searches the uncompressed modules for a table, or decompress it yourself and look.. Award = cbrom + winhex AMI = mmtool + winhex Phoenix = PBE + winhex very few have the slic hanging out there....
