ah No, Indeed you are right. That's why the rules are changed. In emergency cases I have a pheonix bios recovery disc.
What files do I need to extract? I have used -writeromfile and -writehdrfile which has given me a rom and hdr file. Are these what you need or something else?
.ROM file is a bios file but I am not sure it is the one that is needed...send it to me and I will see.
