Krazubu Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 For people who have windows and a ASUS board, you can simply use the flash utility that allows to change the boot picture and you can even change edit sounds but I don't remember the program's name Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19365-how-to-custom-bios-logo/page/2/#findComment-137104 Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.C. Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Sorry I didnt reply for such a long time. I thought the thread was dead. Neway great to hear that yall got Custom Logos. BTW if u need my attn coz u hosed ur bios, PM me. I hosed mine twice . The archive link seems to be fine. If it dont work, again PM me. I will Rapidshare it. BTW has ne one got 1024 to worl yet. Let my old A7N8XE come back from ASUS. I will give it a try then. Techinically should work. As for start up sound, some ASUS boards support a POST Reporter, which tells you why ur system is f*cked. Anyway now when the BIOS finishes POSTing, it says a weird message. If instead of this message, you put in the Apple Sound..........Imagine the possibilities. Why cant my AMD 2100 run OSX. Startup Sound and LOGO would have been perfect. Also some guy was making a H/W based solution for that.

CBROM215.EXE Bios.bin /D Also do a CBROM215.EXE /? ,for help. What do u mean ur processor speeds up??

asap18 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Yeah I did that but with my .bio file from intel since they dont offer a .bin file. The fan of the proccesor speeds up while the screen just displays a blinking cursor. I know its possible on the intel bios since on my last flash they changed the logo.

xtraa Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 same here, no probs on an msi k8neo4 amd 939 board. just had to rename the logo.bmp to the filename.bmp as shown in the bios after running that cmd /d thing. Only thing I would like to eliminate now are the commandlines between the two logo-screens And for the startup sound: I thik there must be some kind of easy solution, that some cheap device plays a sample, when you turn on the puter. This is already possible with Asus boards. If you turn the speech notification on instead of the bios beep codes, you can configure it, to always play a sound if you turn on the PC. And just more: afaik it is possible to upload your own .wav soundfile ( 8-bit or something).

chucky3456 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 not at all, i get a kernel panic now (even on the install DVD) and it happened even before i changed the logo Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19365-how-to-custom-bios-logo/page/2/#findComment-154761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindmage Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hello, This project interests me, but i don't have a award bios or any of the other ones mentioned. I have and intel D865GLC motherboard.

gotoh Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 for those of you with wide screens here is a 640*480 16/10 aspect ratio BMP/8bit logo which works fine with my Gigabyte mobo (gigabyte provides an easy BIOS modding tool : facewizard, don't know if it works on other Award bios based mobo) logo2.bmp Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19365-how-to-custom-bios-logo/page/2/#findComment-264091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FavleX Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 any chance to see a tutorial for changing the boot screen of osx instead of the bios boot screen??I'd like to use the logo bmp for that..i found a guide in this forum but it's a littl bit dificult for me..

gotoh Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 you should goolge for it, I found a guide on how to do this there, but it will be a bit complicated anyway. Back to topic, for those who like to change their Bios logo, here are 2 logos ofr AMD X2 and Intel with 4x3 aspect ratio bios_logo_AMD_4x3.bmp bios_logo_intel_4x3.bmp Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19365-how-to-custom-bios-logo/page/2/#findComment-268590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotoh Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) here is also the 16/10 Intel boot logo I'm using now (white Apple on black background + intel logo) I hope you guys like these logos. They are pretty simple yet looking nice IMHO All these logo are 640x480@8bit BMP, cbrom.exe compliant for Award/Phenix Bios. now, CBROM for dummies : check with your mobo's vendor / bios revision for compatible CBROM version, find suitable version CBROM.EXE on google and download. in Windows, run CMD and CD to your CBROM directory, where you also copied your BIOS file to flash and the logo you want to use. command to add your logo to your bios with CBROM is : CBROM.EXE biosfile.rom /logo logofile.bmp biosfile.rom is the bios you dumped from your mobo, or any bios you want to use with your mobo, so change it to the name of your bios file... /logo is the cbrom switch to add BMP 640x480@8bit logo to bios file logofile.bmp is your logo, so change it to the name of logo file you want to add in your bios file ! concrete example for my intel mobo : CBROM.EXE 945gms2.f3 /logo intellogo.bmp now you can flash the new bios file to your mobo and enjoy your logo. beware that CBROM overwrites your bios file, so a make backup of it before modding it... intellogo_16x10.bmp Edited January 5, 2007 by gotoh Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19365-how-to-custom-bios-logo/page/2/#findComment-268593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
