Works fine for me in Vista 64 Business and Ultimate English on asus p5q deluxe bios, so must be the language that is an issue.
Hi I am pretty sure is is a language issue. Microsoft acknowledges that SendKey.Send has these issues, unfortunately it is the only method that I have been able to get working. I have tried SendMessage (both WM_KEYDOWN/UP and WM_CHAR) and SendInput. Neither work. If anybody has any ideas.............. Otherwise I will have to try to do a language check and only have it automated on English systems. The only other issue is if the path containts any of ()~+% - this is fixed in RC7 which I will upload soon. Andy
Unticking automate mmtool did work, xp and dutch language, But than i must replace the b1 module in the file with the b1q slic but i was confused with file i should take the slic ore the normal bios.
Does it work??? Without looking, this is around where the module size is adjusted..probably different means to the same end..I would imagine...
When MMTool loads (the SLIC ROM is loaded automatically) 1) Select 1B from the module list so that it is highlighted 2) Select the 'Replace' tab 3) Ensure that 'Module ID' contains 1B and 'Offset' and 'Segment' contain 0000. 4) Select Browse and choose the 1B_SLIC.BIN just created (in the same path as the original ROM) 5) Select the Replace button 6) Select the Save button 7) Select Yes from the overwite dialog 8) Exit MMTool Andy
This above has to be done fast otherwise program closes with an error b1 module not inserted. Works for me now thanks Quote: Originally Posted by Johnnnnn I did mod it with the tool rc6 but one minor difference with your ssv3 mod Look in hexedit for AMIBIOSC0800 in hex edit at offsett dc008 line you have 75 but the tool gives ff what is correct?

This is your mod ssv3 FF0000000000010200080A414D4942494F534330383030FFFFF1E2ADED1400FECFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF75FFFFFF my mod with rc6 FF0000000000010200080A414D4942494F534330383030FFFFF1E2ADED1400FECFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is my mod wrong? Your mod bios p5kl-am-se ssv3 works for sure. tested it.
Fixed in RC7. I had found this already (for a change!) 911medic - is this you correcting the 8 bit checksum?? Just a guess, at the wrong PC to get my tools out. Andy
Probably..I havent checked it, but it is either resizing the modules or checksum correction. If people compare the tool mods to our manual mods, they will second guess themselves crazy..Like I said..different means to the same end. I have a routine I follow, just like your tool. I guess they differ somehow.. I am glad the manual works. I am sure the tool mod works also. @Johnnnnn: If Andys tool mods it without errors, it will most likely flash and activate...
New release. Hopefully this one will be the final one! v1.00 RC7 ADD: When performing an SSV3 mod and shrinking the 1B module; if the module is shrunk back to original size then it is inserted SSV2 style ADD: Method of inserting/replacing modules manually with MMTool is detailed FIX: Manual MMTool was still being closed after 10 seconds FIX: Automated MMTool failed if pathname contained any of '()%~^' FIX: Automate MMTool should only be selected automatically on English systems FIX: When attempting to insert a long SLP string (that won't fit) the option is now given to truncate FIX: Verify button is enabled once BIOS selected (manufacturer need not be selected) FIX: If the original BIOS was read-only, a number of file errors could occur Andy
love this feature, thanks for the new version ADD: When performing an SSV3 mod and shrinking the 1B module; if the module is shrunk back to original size then it is inserted SSV2 style
i tried to mod this p5q pro i have here with the rc7 on an english vista business, it failed to insert 1b module, tried again with rc8 and it worked... so something has changed that works better on english too
Damn... I have spent hours with the very unhelpful MSDN docs figuring out how it works......... What happens? Andy
