Hi I think p4spooky has used successfully as well several times. The tool will check the BIOS checksum before and after modding so even if the 32bit checksum box isn't ticked it won't allow a bad BIOS out (eg. ASUS SSV2) What problems (other than not finding a space) have you had with the force below AMIBIOS string, I know yen is of the opinion that this should be default. The range insertion has been default on at 50000h for a while now, what version are you using Cheers, Andy
I used the latest. I just make sure the boxes are ticked as I need. Thats all. I think the tool will work for most all bios now. I am curious about the core 7 bios mods... As far as forcing the slic below the amibios, we had one a while back that would not activate with no slic at the acpiscope or everest. This was with he forced box ticked. I manually modded it to a different area, I dont remember where (sorry) and it worked. I have also had a few I tried with the tool and flash with ezflash and they threw chksm errors. A manual mod flashed without error. Strange I know. The latest problem I had with checksum was with a couple of biostar boards.
I think the ezflash error was due to amimmwin modifying 2 bytes in the EBB header that it shouldn't do. That is detected (and prevented by keeping the preserve boot block option checked) in the latest version. Core 7 - I haven't had any successful tests yet. I don't own any boards that old..... comparing it to the few existing mods I can find it should be OK. Let me know if you do any Let me know if you come accross any issues - anything at all. I hope it should be issue free now! I will leave it beta a little while longer to make sure. Always happy to Ix. Andy
I have added a 'Verify' button to the latest version that will just check the 3 checksums for the specified BIOS. Nothing is changed. Hope this is useful. Andy
Very nice Andy. I have not seen any real issues since 0.94 that has the parsing error on 1B module on newer Asus P6T boards. Other than that no major issues. Great job
Are you sure you flashed the SLIC'd BIOS from the zip file and not the original. The SLIC your image shows seems to be the dynamically allocated original one. The mod looks good in a hex editor. How did you flash? Andy
Be sure to Clear cmos and load defaults after flash. Whether you flash original first or not. After final flash, this should be done.
Msi vr220-ya -Edited- Original HU model bios (VR220X-010H) that came without Windows did not work with OEMCertAutoInstaller featuring proper OEM key, this was the reason for the request. I tought that the bios upgrade from msi site is the same, but it turns out that it includes a proper SLIC so I can activate, at least with ASUS OEM (Ultimate) key. Request removed.
