Hi everybody ! I've just installed VMware 6.5 WS and i tried to test the famous VMBIOS ROM I put into the VMX file the line : bios440.filename = "VMBIOS_ASUS_SLIC&SLP.ROM" at the top of the file ! then i registered and open vmware Has it boot : i didn't see no ASUS bios Ive tried also with DEL, HP , and the same pb ! are those ROM compatible with Vmware 6.5 or should i reinstall an older version ! It is very strange !! isn't it ? If some one have an idea ?
Thanks But i've tried those files !! What is stonish is that i succeed with an older VMBIOSOEM dell ! This works fine, because when i start my VM i can see in little on VmWare 6.5 Bios Startup, OEM written in little !! So the ROM passes ! Does this little logo : OEM appears also on other ROM ? like ASUS HP ?
because you don't see i,e HP or dell logo when booting up has got nothing to do with it the bios patches this is a virtual machine and the mods are only done so you can check if it activates with your brand i,e, HP or Del e.c.t if machine activates with OEM CD /DVD then whats the problem....
Problem is that Vmware Workstation 6.5 doesn't support bios440.filename any longer. Only if the patched Bios ROM is direct integraded in vmware-vmx.exe.
Sorry my mistake Ok, I created a new VM and it's working. But no go for my old VM created with Workstation 5.5.6. (thougth converting it to "Default hardware compatibility 6.5" and using a 6.5 Bios would be enough but it isn't)
So to resum : What can i do : i downdload the ROM with the vmware-vmx.exe then i can test to activate ? What key can i use ?
you will need to use OEM and certificate key for whatever bios mod you are using you didnt say. i,e, ASUS Dell e.c.t
