This hack had been done to ABIT AN7 bios version 15... which is not possible to hack it with Modbin/Modhack

All u need to have is Hex Editor & Cbrom

- After done modding Original.tmp file
lets say the file we mod is AN7.bin (biosfile) & original tmp file (System.bin)
- install it to the bios file:
cbrom an7.bin /other 5000:0 system.bin
-then open the AN7.bin with hex editor
-copy the new award compression for the file we just install
-save it to blank file(System.bin Award compression)

-Then release all bios module from an7.bin
-until only System Bios file left there
-now re-open back an7.bin the bios file with hex editor
-copy the hack system.bin compression fileand paste it ON original temp file in Abit.bin
-then re-install back all bios module
-this way... Cbrom will do the checksum

Thx for your info, by the way, there are a few things here that are not so clear :
1. What's the point of "installing" the original.tmp as an "extension/expansion" ROM as in :
cbrom an7.bin /other 5000:0 system.bin
2. What do you mean by "award compression" ?
I hope you can make your point much more clear in those issue .

---------------
the reason we install the modded original temp file on the bios @ 5000:0
because... the system bios file is located on Fixed ID 5000:0

After install it... there will be new -lh5- compression added in to the bios file.
The added in bios file is Modded version of system bios file

after we release all other bios module (PCI/EPA/etc...)
There will only left the original version of system bios file..(-lh5 files)
all we need to do is to delete it.... with FFFF.....
and if it start @ 10000h

paste the Modded version system bios file from 10000h to 23000h(if the modded -lh5- system bios file size is 13000h)

then re install back all the module... cbrom will do the checksum correctly the..


hi
i see this guide on tictacs page, and i have a question

when i integrate the system bios with:
cbrom bios.bin /other 5000:0 system.bin
then i have the the old system.bin and the modded system.bin in the bios integrated

and where can i find the award compression [/quote]

edit: it's ok, now i understand
