    First off, thank you andyp for providing a really great tool! It is really amazing work! I have been playing around with these utilities (my computer is a dell optiplex 980, bios revision A09).

    I have a few questions (thank you everyone in advance for any information or pointers for me to look at that are provided):

    1) is possible to obtain the same compression ratio when compressing one of the decompressed ROM files in the dump folder? So that an unmodified ROM that I compress using lzss-r.exe (for example) will be the same as the compressed version I pull out of the HDR?

    2) If it is not possible with the utilities we have, could someone provide some advice on what I would need to do do to achieve this? (I would share with the community if I can get it working)

    3) How can I tell what utility to use to compress these files?

    4) What is the "manual PBE method", related to ssv2?

    thanks for the reply... a backup taken with asus bupdater? I have read about the NVRAM method that requires a "full backup" but never did find any instructions on how to do that.. I tried taking a backup with bupdater and pheonixtool said no NVRAM found in dump.
