Well, I tried it again tonight and it wouldn't work... Then I downloaded ASL.exe and all of a sudden it works... Fluke?

 

Maybe someone else can give it a shot. I won't be able to do it till next weekend.

VMWare6.5.1-126130 is out ,where can find the method to mod VMWare BIOS with SLP1.0 and SLP2.0.

 

dolivas, The -X was was in there when I compiled it, but I think Phoenix BIOS Editor makes changes when you decompile it. I checked Everest in a XP x64 VM with it, and it said the SLIC was 374 bytes, so the compiled ROM should work OK.

iamhlisky, install Phoenix BIOS Editor and then follow the guide in the "Mod your own BIOS" thread in the Phoenix BIOS section. Also I included some mod notes in the link in my last post that may help.

 

zort thanks for the update.

Yen thanks for the info.

 

thanks, slp2.0 is working but how to make slp1.0 working,I mean where to patch the string "IBM CORPORATION" or "LENOVO" according to reginakamphers post,unfortunatly mediafire link not working from my country.

EDIT:i figure it out,awesome,

princerock,

You say you copied the string - you need to copy the hex values from the left pane. Some of the hex values don't map to characters so you're reducing your chances of finding a match if you try to search for the string. Are you using hex workshop to search the .ROM files? If you are, you have the option to search for the raw bytes or strings. Hope this helps.

Reginakampher & Pix
Guys, I have kinda long question, please bear with me

Regina posted VMWare BIOS for DELL (post #4)
Pix confirmed, it doesn’t work with SLP1.0 and was able to fix it (post #23)
Pix wrote also, (post #38) PBE2.2 it silently produced bad BIOSes (on XP VM)
I assume he falls back to PBE2.1?

I got both PBE 2.1.0.0 (01/05/06) & 2.2.01 (04/21/08)

I download Regina BIOS (post #4),
opened it with both PBE versions,
both gave same error – unsupported module class ‘*’ was found on at offset F7642, I assume it’s ok.
changed one letter in a string in STRINGS0.ROM, than change it back and
saved BIOS without any error messages.

There were no any differences between BIOS made by 2.1 & 2.2
But they differ from Regina one…

1. What tool did Regina use to modify VMWare BIOS (post #37 -> I'm using W2K8 & PBE 2.2)?
Why my BIOS is different from her then?
I run on XP SP2, but does it really matter to PBE?

2. Is the only way to make sure SLP 2.0 works (i.e. SLIC certificate [in BIOS] matches xrm-ms one [in file]) is to install Vista/W2K8?

2a. Do all different DELL SLICs match same (the only one) xrm-ms file or they come in pairs?
