    I'm glad as well.....the calculation of compressed space took me about two hours.....but it was worthwhile.....almost nobody uses that old core7 bios this days:p.
    It was for educational interest to beat this one...enjoy
    And don't forget: Never give up!;)

    The mod I've done was done the SSV2 way. It should work. But I had to edit more strings than usual. Anyway you always should be able to make a recovery playing with bios.....

    Can you send me the modified 0F module? I successfully extracted the module, but didn't know how to change it. I have already read your post 38, but still confused. ;)

    I have attached the unmodified 0f module, if you have deleted it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Greetings Obelix


    Edit: Maybe this could be the issue?

    The way to mod 0F module is not explained here at thread ;) My instructions are for core8 bios, not core7.
    So it's sure confusing..:D

    Try to extract and delete 0f module. Modify one zero byte for test. After that try to insert 0F.rom again. (I was not able to do that).
    or:
    Try to replace it using replace command:
    bcp760 yourbios.rom /R 0F.rom /0F or
    bcp760 yourbios.rom /R 0F.rom /0F /M 0000 0000

    Yourbios.rom = your bios
    0F.rom = filename of extracted (and modified) 0F module.

    I was not able to do that as well. (tool crashed to desktop) so replace command didn't work as well:(
    I'll try it again and will make the 0F modification.
    If we can manage to rebuild your bios it'll be no problem to make the final steps for the mod after it.

    @beppe_7

    Modbin is made for Award bioses only. For AMI bioses you have to use MMtool / AMIBCP 3.X....


    Just for interest: Have you tried the AMIBIOS.ROM recovery method?

    Petar instructed to use the switches to update bios. The bootblock will be updated. This is always a higher risk and is NOT needed at SSv2 modifications.......

    Yes, only chance to get a working mod is to try to mod a older (another) version of your bios.
    If you have found one which works with a tool, I'll of course make the mod for you.......

    guys just like yen said. do not use the boot block switch! flash the bios first without touching the bootblock in the event of a no boot this way you can use the recovery method! then once u flash and all is well boots fine. then go back and reflash with the bootblock switch! i do this always to b on the safe side
