@andyp i take it you can't add xp slp to amibios core 0700 bioses can't manufacturer name not be added to 06 module i,e DMI .this is just a question i think you would have implemented it if it was possible version v1.11 working fine.
I have just reuploaded v1.11 - I had inadvertently disabled in built error handling. No other changes. Andy

The location at physical memory will be FF400+offset to AMIBIOS string. You may even edit 'American Megatrends Inc' etc. to 20h to adjust compressed size to original ar insert strings there. Only difference is that there is no $ODB$ location which maps directly to valid Dell Computer range.
Thanks for your condolence ... I've got an MSI Board and the ami slic tool tells me to nominate the manufactures name. just for MSI there is ONLY SSV2 available. Maybe there will be some additional development for MSI BIOS with dynamic mod? Best regards BootMaster
Was this the same version or an upgrade. I think this is not a problem?? Dynamic is not possible with MSI AMI bios..
Ohoh ... Just made some experiences with old bios version sliced and unscliced... In the end i have to say, that it was my fault: My board has got an integrated GPU and it default bios settings is 'auto' for graphical memory size. in my system (4gb ram) it taks 512mb graphic ram (auto). I just need my xp desktop... so I had to put the smalest amout of graphical memory. After 2(!) reboots now I have 3,5gb in windows (still little less than before but I dont mind). In any case THANK YOU for this nice Ami Bios Modding Slicing Tool! Best reganrds BootMaster
New version v1.12 ADD: Option to ignore a valid SLIC in a Fx module ADD: Ability to add a SLP1.0 string to a BIOS with an existing SLIC table ADD: Ability to add a SLP string to a core v6/7 BIOS Enjoy urie - adds SLP1.0 string into main module (02) as suggested by Yen. Andy
Thanks Andy great work hope some one can test on bios flash iv'e still to order new bios chip for my old machine don't want to risk taking the bios out of the wife's to try hot flashing it then again i might wait till she disappears for a day out
I had edited my bios by hand before, but this tool is great for my asus boards. I'm not sure, but does server 2008 use the same slic as vista and will it activate if vista is activationg properly already for me?
Greetings and salute to you 911medic.................that is why I am BIOSNOIDEA................... Cheers
New version: v1.15 ADD: Include selected options and version number in log FIX: Automatically open SLIC and SLP folders when appropriate FIX: Not handle linked modules FIX: Log disabled for SLP addition to a BIOS with an existing SLIC table (again!) FIX: SLIC XOR'd when no patch needed for dynamic mod Andy
Feedback and questions Hy, I just want to give feedback and say THANKS to andyp for this great piece of software. I successfully sliced a BIOS for an "ASRock A780GXH/128M" (v1.20) with the default options (SSV3, I think) and it works like a charm . Everest SLIC-Table is fine and Vista SP2 is activated. I have just two question to andyp or anybody else: I sliced with the version 1.02 of the tool. Are there any advantages / improvements in v1.15, so that you would recommened to slice and flash again with v1.15? What advantages/disadvantages do the other methods (SSV, SSV2, Dynamic) have? thanks in advance, prioboth
