Developer needed for VGA BIOS Editor

is anyone here interested in starting a VGA BIOS editor project?

I would do it myself but I really don't have the time to handle another project.
You don't need to know everything about BIOS formats, but should know a bit about hex editing etc.
I can provide most of the info you are going to need for the actual implementation of the modification process.

You should know your stuff in your programming language though (C++ / MFC or C# preferred). This is a great opportunity to enhance your skills and give back to the community.

Hey. I would be willing to give it a shot. I still have some stuff to learn about C++ but I am pretty decent. Still learning about hex editing and what not. I have messed with it but not to indepth.

your solution is Mvktech.net Staff he wrote Nibitor Tools and he update this program every month I sent his to contact to you in a PM ;)

Unwinder - author of RivaTuner - probably may be interested in this project too
He can be found on guru3D forums.

Sound like fun and I would love to try. Programming is just a hobby for me only, so don't expect too much from me.

Abit about myself:
I have tried to port my YAMB bot (diablo2 bot, java script) to C# as a way to learn C#, but never get to finish it, as the dotnet core for the bot didn't get finish by Mattlant. Back then, I was known as Sumo. Probably still have the account on Blizzhackers.org and www.edgeofnowhere.cc.

Lately, I have been playing around with C# and Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel for some automate task.

As for hexing. Do hexing saved game count? :)

Somehow I doubt that Unwinder would be interested casue if else that would have been done already. Unwinder is mainly interested in the software tweaks...

i talk to unwinder on a daily basis. he's very busy with rl things and definitely does not have the time to start another project

I'd be willing to help. I know C/C++, and have tons of free time to dedicate to the project.

that sounds really interesting

-> bookmarked ;)

Well, so far so good.
W1zzard knows way more than I know, seeing how I know barley anything.

I am willing to take interface suggestions.
Right now, there is a tab where you can open your BIOS, it is pasted into a large text control, and you can do raw hex dump editing.
Then, I am working on another tab where things like boot message, error message, core clock, voltage, and things in that nature are all editable.

I would say it is 10% done. :P
W1zzard is a big help. He expected that I could the project on my own, and I am not skilled enough. I am trying as hard as I can.

I am open for any suggestions, and I will attempt to use them.

same here

I have a copy of IDA Pro 4.8....and Visual C++ 2005, if that helps...and i'm more than willing to be a Beta tester :)

I can beta/alpha test also, so long as it doesn't do any irreversible damage. Just shoot me a PM.

What about Nibitor? Great opportunity to improve it.
Besides this, I have a new tool which allows be Flashing my NVIDIA card in Windows. I have it on cd, haven't really tried it out yet. Decompilling it might give you guys a view on how they did the trick.

EDIT: lol, this thread is getting aged, I noticed only now :D

started yesterday, needed some time to rest after my exams.
I can open a bios and open it in a listview for now.

I haven't touched it for a while.

I can read the values that W1zzard provided me with for ATI cards, working on ATI Legacy, and then I need to do nVIDIA.

if they are not secret can we get values




EDIT: also a bios file ofcourse dont have an ati card right now

just for updating porpuses, ATI part is almost finished, just need to make a nice GUI, most of the functions are written, too bad i havent much time right now

Are you going to implement a windows flash option? I have example software here :)

Code not available, I only have the executable. You can't decompile it to make it usable?

depends, if it is .net or not
but it will prolly be C++ because it has to communicate with the system

K, I'll get to you in one of the following days.
