Hi Leni.

I do not understand anything.
It looks like you used an online translator.
Explain your problem and what you did in German.

Ja ich benutze einen online übersetzer........

Ich habe versucht mit einem Hex-editor ein paar Microcodes in mein IC7 Max3 bios einzufügen.
Ich habe jeweils den Abschnitt mit dem einzelnen cpucode 0f41 ID 0D und ID 12, 0f43 und 0f44 mit einer größe von jeweils 2048Byte aus diesem Bios klick kopiert und in mein IC7-Max3 bios klick eingefügt, also ältere durch neuere ersetzt.
wenn ich mir mit CBROM das ergebnis anschaue werden die neuen CPUcodes angezeigt und die gesamte größe der Bios.Bin(524.288 Bytes) und die größe der NCPUCODE.BIN stimmen auch 100%

Nur leider sagt mir mein Flashprogramm: This file is not a correct Bios file!

Die Codes habe ich via kopieren und einfügen im Hexeditor(UltraEdit-32-) in das Max3 bios eingefügt und abgespeichert, ich habe leider recht wenig ahnung davon, da ist sicher mehr erforderlich......
Wäre nett wenn du mir ein wenig helfen könntest, danke
Leni

Leni,

all I wrote about modifying the "(SP) NCPUCODE" module is just theoretical stuff.
All my mainboards, which I have use an AMD processor, so I never did a
"(SP) NCPUCODE" module modification.

Furthermore, CPU microcodes / CPU micro code updates do not need to have a size of 2KB.
They also can be 3KB, 5KB or 7KB.
You just need to check the first bytes of the first CPU code,
then you will find the others.

However, there are two ore more positions with checksums inside the BIOS file.
They have to also be fixed/corrected after the BIOS modification.

Try to use the BIOS Information Tool(Twinssoft, StarGaz0r)

http://www.stargaz0r.nm.ru/files/bit14.zip
to check the different checksums inside the BIOS file
before and after the modification.

Yes, I used an online translator

With a hex editor I tried to insert some microcodes in my IC7 Max3 (Abit)

I copied the the 2KByte cpu code parts...:
+ 0f41 ID 0D
+ 0f41 ID 12
+ 0f43
+ 0f44

...from this BIOS file
into my IC7-Max3 bios

After the modification, CBROM displays the new added/replaced CPU codes without problems.
The size of the listed "NCPUCODE.BIN" & the size of the BIOS.bin file(524.288 Bytes)
are accurate.


However, the FLASH program brings an error message:
This file is not a correct Bios file!

I used "UltraEdit-32" to copy the cpu codes from one BIOS file to the bios file for/of my mainboard.

I do not have really much skills and knowledges about this kind of BIOS modification.
I think, there are more steps necessary.

So, it would be nice if you could help.

HI i am new to bios modding bu have tried it on my MSI K8N Neo Platinum mobo.

Anyways I wanted to know if a DFI LanParty UT nF3 250GB Bios wud work on my mobo (as both have same chipset)???

If yes then how to flash it???

[ReelMonza]

No you can't use different BIOS from different brands, doing so will damage your hardware.

[-(CH)-]

Hi!
First of all I would like to say im very impressed by these programms!
Ive been searching a while for a way to make a AGP/PCI divider, my Mobo is an Asrock K7S8XE+. It divides nicely with 6 till FSB 200mhz, but I would rather have a divider of 7/8 so I could go till FSB 233/265. Out of the Datasheet I could see that the IC supports this, but Asrock didnt want to use this feature, dont ask me why though!

here is the datasheet: http://pdf.alldatasheet.com/datashee...ICS952703.html

I know nothing about bios modding, but isnt it like programming a PIC? You can set ports high or low, and in that way you could tell the ICS 952703 to "activate" the 7/8 divider, right?

Well then this means I can't run Vdimms higher than 2.85V (as my K8N Neo Platinum supports it as max)

There must be some way to include higher Vdimm in BIOS

I think you'll have to hard mod it to supply more VDIMM.

[krAsh]

there's no guide 4 a hard mod for MSI K8N NEO PLATINUM , Socket 754 mobo.

[aldamon]

How hard would it be to use these tools to add Newark / mobile CPU support to the Epox 8KDA3J and 8KDA3+? Is it possible? modbin6 already allows me to unlock the hidden 1.8V VCORE option in the BIOS. The latest BIOS has already been updated to support Rev. E CPUs. I'd like to pick up a Newark 4000+ when they are released.

Borg Number One,
ich habs nun endlich geschafft und ein lauffähiges Bios mit neuen Cpucodes für mein MAX3 gebastelt.
Die lösung ist ganz simpel:
Das modifizierte Bios das die Fehlermedung "This file is not a correct Bios file" anzeigt mit Modbin6 2000 öffnen und wieder speichern, nun lässt sich das Bios auch flashen.
Modbin überprüft und korrigiert wohl die Prüfsummen innerhalb der Biosakte.
Aber es scheint noch ein kleines Problem dabei zu geben, in meinem Bios habe ich die codes 0F41H ID05 und 0F41H ID09 durch 0F41H ID0D und 0F41H ID12 ersetzt.
Meine CPU sollte den code 0F41H ID12 verwenden, sie läd mit dem modifizierten Bios aber den code 0F41H ID0D
Ich habe auch ein Bios nur mit den Codes 0F29H und 0F41H ID12 versucht aber die CPU lädt nicht den 0F41H ID12

Das BIOS Information Tool (bit14) kann leider die (SP) NCPUCODE auch nicht auslesen.

[Kjaups]

can i mod my bios somehow by using these files. or can someone mod my bios (ASUS P4P800-X). I want to unhide chipset voltage and at least 3v for ram. Can i do that with these files???

Hi.


The current latest BIOS file for the Shuttle FN25 (SN25P):
ftp://ftp.shuttle.com/BIOS/sn25p/fn25s01o.bin
can be opened and modified with
MODBIN6 2.01.01 (06/25) without any problems.

Is there anyone who can send me MODBIN6 2.01.01 file, please?

Thanks!

[engine]

Anyone, please!

Thanks.

[engine]

Still no one!!!

The problem is that I can edit the "System BIOS" component with an hex editor, but I can´t add it to the main BIOS file. Or replace the existing one!

[Borg Number One]

Hi engine.


Do you still need the modbin release?

[engine]

Hi Borg Number One.

Thanks for your reply. I eventually found it on an Asian site. As I said before on this thread -> http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=77122

Thanks anyway.

[SnipingWaste]

Borg number one, Can you look in to this BIOS and see if theres a HTT and multi setting hiden in it. Its for a Tul ax480a7-f ATI RX480/ULI setup. I emailed TUL about this and looks like they wont put the options on/unlock.
Here is the BIOS and its a AMI bios.

[Borg Number One]

Hi.

All options are already visible. There are no more options to unhide.

I just can replace the small AMI logo or the ATI fullscreen logo.

That sucks.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Borg, I have no clue on modding mobo's bios, could you tell me if there are any hidden options in this bios from Evga nf3 board? ftp://evga.com/NF31_A42.bin
I'm specially looking for FSB Spread Spectrum option... I tried a few versions of Modbin but didn't understand how to perform changes in the menus... This bios also has a huge fullscreen logo that I wanted to remove

Thanks,
nobre

[ReelMonza]

There's nothing hidden actually, as per removing logo, it is quite easy to do, just download awdbedit.

By the way, this motherboard is actually Jetway N250DAG.

You can download BIOS A03 here:

thanks for the quick reply
are all mobos from evga built by them? i didn't know that o.O it was hella cheap and my former chaintech had to be rma'd so i gave it a try, actually like it, only thing that bothers me is that clockgen hangs on abrupt HTT speed changes, if i go 10 by 10mhz it will go stable up to 300, but if i try to raise it from 200 to 250 for instance, its instant crash... That's why I was looking for FSB spread spectrum, maybe that could be causing this

Is it safe to flash that file to test it on my evga?

[nobre]

ok i flashed it, didn't even need to clear cmos, it took my old settings as it were its own lol
and no freaky logo anymore =D

[Borg Number One]

Good morning.

Borg number one, Can you look in to this BIOS and see if

I see that every problem is already solved by ReelMonza.


That is fine, but "ReelMonza"="Borg Number One"?
I do not believe so.

[ReelMonza]

Borg, chill out man...
