    It is not magic, it has hard coded all 99 strings & its memory locations & simply checks memory range of the PC on which it runs
    Really simple

    I've got some problem when I check a few old lappy in my friends store, there's some redundant strings that had different CRC32, for example like asus strings below :

    ASUS (OEMBIOS.CAT CRC32=B20C65BF)

    that's what the oemtools said, I've check n compare with crypto xp oembios archive there's an asus file but didn't match crc32, should I download from oembios.net or the asus oembios file from crypto (OEMBIOS.CAT CRC32=2411858C) will work with this too?

    Thx in advance for ur help!

    Use ASUS (OEMBIOS.CAT CRC32=2411858C) it holds these SLP strings

    Code:
    f000,0000,ffff,ASUSTeK Pegasus
    f000,c000,3fff,ASUS_FLASH
    f000,0000,ffff,ASUS_FLASH
    the redundant (old) ASUS (OEMBIOS.CAT CRC32=B20C65BF) did only have 1 SLP string, eg:
    Code:
    f000,c000,3fff,ASUS_FLASH

    This same like memory dump of SLIC Tool or HWDirect
    Use any of them & you will see yourself

    I am missing something here?
    I downloaded the OEMBIOSV11 269 106.ZIP file on page 3 but when I extract it the file has no exe (or any other) extension, has it been corrupted or am I missing a step?
