Could some kind person do me a nice BMW one something like the mazda one in thread #182 for the EPIAMII 12000 with current bios version 1.35 and award bios v6.00PG.
A picture of what it would look like would be appreciated so I can what it will be like before I flash it.
Cheers.
Does anyone know how to edit the last 2 bits of a image?
Here is what I mean, see I read this thread and looked into what my mobo had to offer. I am using a HP mobo off a free computer I got and gutted.
I went on HP.com's support site and downloaded a Flashi.exe utility that can be used to change the bios boot image for a d530 SFF model computer. I was all excited until I read the readme that explained the process. I now found out that I can only work with 16 colors, and it can't go over 64kb and must be 424x320.
So I made this spiffy logo for my Z in only 3 colors. I know it is the right format because I used the utility to extract the factory image then transfered it via floppy to my desktop computer and edited the file in photoshop, but when I go to flash the new image into the bios, it tells me that the end is not terminated properly. Here is a exerpt from the readme file:
...The new image for loading must meet the following requirements:
• File Format
- Windows Bitmap with 4-bit RLE encoding
- File Size: 64kB max.
- Last 2 bytes of image must terminate with the proper RLE encoding, 00 01
- Windows Bitmap with no compression (can be made with Paint).
• Size
- Exactly 424(w) x 320(h) pixels
• Colors
- 16 colors ...
In bold you can see it needs to end in 00 01. So my question is, how do I edit the image to change the last two bits? Anyone got any tips?

Sweet. I figured it out. I got it to do all the work for me. I just saved my file as a bitmap and it converted the image to the proper compression. Now I just need to decide what I want to change my winXP boot screen too.

I changed the VIA splash screen image in my BIOS to my own logo. I've also added my own logo to my Linux kernel and bootloader. Now my CarPC almost looks stock, except for the damned "Verifying DMI Pool Data..." text that pops up just after the initial BIOS splash logo dissapears.
Is there any way to remove that step? It makes my CarPC look like something from the early 1980s.
This is a VIA EPIA M10000 Mini-ITX board with Pheonix BIOS.
