    I've amended the resizing code again in 2.71 - it now makes more attempts.
    It worked repeatedly here - but if it did fail just run it again.
    Cheers

    nice :)

    all buttons shown and works perfectly, used a test bios that failed with index out of bounds before and created the SLIC'd bios with no errors.

    Hopefully others will have a good reports back for you too.

    Scroll bars will appear if vertical resolution < 1050 in v2.72.

    Fixed RW parsing (there wasn't an RSDT table which threw the tool) in v2.72

    Hi team,
    Am I missing something - just scrolling back through the thread to look for bug reports - and post #4073 is March 2015, and post #4074 is Dec 2016 - was there really no activity here for just under 2 years??
    I could have sworn I'd been glancing from time to time and there were things in the interim that needed looking at.
    Just want to check I'm not going mad!!
    Cheers

    Nope your not going mad :p.

    Last November time i think, there was a forum period when someone guessed the password/hacked a SuperMod's account and went on a deletion spree, caused quite a bit of a mess, Daz and the team managed to recover most of the lost posts/threads. It is possible the gaps was caused by that rampage, may not be the actual case here, but one possible explanation why some are missing.

    Hi
    This is not a problem, but earlier when selecting a XXX.Rom file in a folder, a decoded XXX.Rom.DEC file was created

    Maybe you should work out what you are needing.

    Windows 7 was the last consumer OS to support OEM SLIC activation.

    Windows Server continues to support it, up to and including the most recently released 2016.

    Windows 7 uses SLIC2.1 or higher - you need a BIOS for your PC that can be modded. I would advise you stay away from this at this point since you clearly don't know enough about SLIC.

    I think that was only for certain HP encrypted ROMs. That code is still there - do you have a case where you think it should be decrypting but isn't?? Could you link to the ROM??
