    How about adding a feature that adds the missing parts of a SLIC/split-SLIC. For example, I have a BIOS with a SLIC header and pubkey but it's missing the marker. So instead of inserting a complete SLIC, only add the missing part. Would this be plausible?

    If the marker part (usually a reserved romhole) isn't at a protected area yes.
    Therefore the tool has the option dynamic and tick replace empty modules.
    At most cases the flashtool doesn't update the romhole...you have to try it.

    Thanks for trying. This is the first case proven that the lzma algorithm bricks (andys tool uses it) whereas EzH2o works. :(

    I'm playing with lzma. When I decompress the volume, recompress it again using lzma standard settings, copy it back, open that unmodified bios with EzH2o and save it again, it results to 760 of excess bytes after the compressed volume.
    Will try if they disappear when using different lzma settings...
