Hey, I've got an idea for you BIOS hackers.
I can make a website that will contain all fixed BIOSes.
Admin would have to login, to add new fixed BIOSes. There would be several Admins.
BIOSes would be in categories (category=mobo manufacturer), each BIOS would have a name, manufacturer, hacker's name,version, and there would be a link, pointing to the download site.
The website would be made for free (duh), it would have a domain.co.cc domain (free), pointing to a 000webhost subdomain.
So, you wouldn't have to pay a dollar for the site, and it would be very organised. It's a pretty good idea, don't you think?

If you are interested, send me an e-mail to graddd@gmail.com .

For those who have the MSI P35 Diamond (DDR3):

Flashed with the modded BIOS yesterday and it works. No checksum errors
and no ACPI or cpus=1 fix is needed in Kalyway 10.5.2. I still have problems
with iDeneb 10.5.5 but that probably has nothing to do with the mainboard.

Thanks OriginalMACNUT (i guess he's the one who modified it).

hello OriginalMACNUT
your site already has fixed bios for laptop ASUS F5N.
do you know if F5N bios is OK for F5SL (the one I published a little bit higher),
or it's better to wait for it's own to be altered also?
thanks
OriginalMACNUT
I would wait. I have to change my oil in the car and do a few things. Then I'll try and get to everything today, bit under the weather after last night though.

sorry for my bad english unsure.gif
thank you! rolleyes.gif


can you help me? sad.gif

does altering DSDT is what so important to prevent osx86 from hanging?
and if it is, why ALIAS'es are included from the begin inside our BIOS'es?
are they needed for M$ products? could WinXP work after if ALIAS not present anymore?
thanks

Hey,
Would you give my bios a try too, when you have the time? I posted it here on July but never got a reply, so I assumed it might be one of those impossible ones. I tried it once myself, but reverse engineering isn't my cup of tea.
It's a Twinhead J12S with T7300 cpu, PM965 chipset and X3100 graphics.

This is bios p35 neo2-fr with vista ulimate authorization(slic table),could your mod it please?
Thanks

Hi OMN. I rolled back to old memory (2xKingston 512 PC-5300). And was SURPRISED again that my graphics stayed broken with original Toshiba 4.40 BIOS. I was surprised because I installed MacOS with this memory+this BIOS. But when I flashed P105-S6024 BIOS 4.00 I got my video and sound again. This BIOS seems to be the closest to working configuration. Next monday I'll got 2x2Gb Kingston PC-5300 memory... I'll test if it'll work.

With great respect, jazzminos.

I'm sorry, but I'm positive I've done this bios before, and with the current SLIC table, I'm not going to touch it.
I do not support pirating what so ever. Though I not saying you are, but that's the only reason why I would think you have the SLIC table modded for Vista Ultimate.
If you post the original bios File I'd be happy to do it for you, then you can have the person that Modded the SLIC again if that's not to much trouble.

@ Everyone else,

You missed what I mean, Though I hope everyone here with a Modded Bios has at least bought the Retail OSX DVD, I know Most of my friends here have smile.gif
However, A modded SLIC table is for in my eyes, intended for never paying for it. But that's just me, and yes. We are violating the User agreement, at least we still bought, and supported Apple smile.gif

checked with firefox and internet explorer.
OriginalMACNUT
Yeah, the OpenDSDT is a hit and miss.
You might check the info.plist

and check to see the Hex code is spaced, I might forgot to do that. should read like <data> 44 xx xx xx </data>
and not like <data>44 xx xx xx</data> But I don't think this will help. Thinking of downloading the source, and find out where it's getting the ACPI header from, as it always seems not to work sad.gif

i did try the spacing solution but it's no luck, while looking inside the opendsdt i found some lines wich might indicate where it's taking it's table.

Yeah, that's going to hang me. Does anyone know how to Correct this and rebuild? I'm looking into it myself, but might take some time for me to learn how to correct this, as I'm not very familiar with writing programs.

isn't netkas the creator of the EFI we use?

if so maybe you could try to see with him if you have time, his website says he's building the V9 beta.

hello OriginalMACNUT

thank you very much for ASUS F5SL BIOS mod.

unfortunately it didn't resolved hanging (stucking) problem of my laptop.
I did managed to install iDeneb, but when it boots up till the desktop, it runs only for 5 minutes,
then system hangs (stuck) with no message, just frozen (even keyboard capslock didn't react).
no fan overrun or processor overheat is happening, no changes after applying patch for AppleUSB.
iDeneb installation kernel works OK by itself (i.e. - no stucking)

no worry, Omn, stay in bed, have a rest, you did a nice job anyway, thank you very much.
laptop seems to hanging due to graphic subsystem being unhandled (don't know yet by who it should)
or maybe due to network card SIS191 driver absence
and cores are not editable in this version of BIOS anyway, just declaration, they are present...
I'll keep you updated later
