richba5tard Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Anyone here capable of switching the bootup logo of a bios? I know many overclockers thinker with the bios to gain additional performance, is there also someone who can replace the standard boot image with a customized one? If yes, I've got 50$ PayPal for someone who can do it for me. Original bios and replacement image is attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoF Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Make sure to have backup-bios Should show the bear instead of Zotac I never payed for hwbot so keep the 50 bucks and see it as my this years donation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thanks mate! What are the chances of bricking the system you reckon? The bios is not replaceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraRaptor Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 PM Antinomy here. Or try rom.by - they are pros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoF Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thanks mate! What are the chances of bricking the system you reckon? The bios is not replaceable. Done with MMTOOL v3.12 (http://www.rebios.net/biosfile/tool_8_RC1.rar) Not sure, the injected image was 50kb larger uncompressed (but should be handled by the program) - I think if this would be an issue it will tell you during flash (try not to force flash on the first run). I can try to make the injected image a bit smaller that is the only thing that might cause something - apart from that I don't see any issue. let me quickly check the bios with mmtool again...

richba5tard Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thanks guys! I'll try it out as soon as I have a second device. Can't risk to brick the only device I have, and the bios is not swappable : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoF Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Here is one with a smaller injected image - should work, double-checked and all seems fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Awesome sauce, thanks SoF! We've ordered a second Zotac VD01 box just to have a spare in case it goes wrong. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoF Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Awesome sauce, thanks SoF! We've ordered a second Zotac VD01 box just to have a spare in case it goes wrong. : ) If it works, I'll be doing some hwbot-bios for sure Should work on all AMI v8 bios...the software I found during today's search is pretty interesting also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I dont think its difficult at all, I know I did it on a DFi NF3 a few years ago. http://awdbedit.sourceforge.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Antinomy Posted April 30, 2012 Crew Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) The logo replacement is one of the easiest and brick chances are lowest (I don't know any). But SoF used an older 3.12 version of MMTool. I use 3.22 for AMI8. Checked what SoF has done - looks fine. But when I opened his first picture version and clicked "Save for Web" in PS it made the file 22KB while his second was 29KB. Anyway it's nothing, nice work! The AMI logo (that's the same place Award EPA logo is) can be replaced too but it's harder to make a replacement logo (that odd format doesn't give much freedom for design). So this Massman Edition BIOS is a present for Massman? Edited April 30, 2012 by Antinomy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafio Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 for AMI 8 BIOS you should use this: http://www.mediafire.com/?h3a8whmnfwkf0pw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Antinomy Posted May 1, 2012 Crew Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yes but MMTool is universal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
