Different BIOS boot logo screen - Page 6

Can't help you I'm afraid as I cant even get the new logo into the bios file, I just cant see where I'm going wrong!

Most likely file size of the original image??? I had that problem with mine.

Can anyone do a Lexus logo please? Thanks!

Screw it, I got tired and just made my own Lexus boot screen. For those who have a Lexus, go find the "Alexis" font online and write in your own stuff on the bottom of that bootscreen to customize it.

In addition, you can do this BIOS update for regular computers as well (not only epia's) as long as they have the Award BIOS that supports boot logos. To do this. you just skip the TIFF -> AWBM conversion and save the file directly as a BMP from your image program. Than use CBROM to integrate that BMP into the BIN image. After that is done you verify the BIOS image by using software called "AwardEdit". This is a Windows program for looking at BIOS files; it will tell you if your BIOS image is complete and you could also view your boot logo with this program.

Here is a thread from another forum that details this process (you could even change the EPA boot logo if you wish).

Enjoy!

Just wondering, If I am too lazy to get hte PC out, and hook up a floppy, (its bolted up under the dash and takes around 3 hours to get it out) Or a usb floppy (dont have one) Can I burn the files onto a CD and use a bootable CD?
how do I make my own bootable CD?
cheers.

EDIT >- never mind, found this

Just finished making a bootable CD with the utility and FORD.BIN file on it, and put it in the car, booted successfully, and ran the utility. because the drive your working from (the cd) is write protected, you cant save the old bios file, if you try, it stops with write protect error and you have to reboot. But if you dont, the flash utility works fine. I flashed it, and now I have the FORD logo......

COOL

and thanks

I think the flash utility will ask you if you want to back it up before you try to flash the new bios.

hevnsnt · 09-23-2004, 04:33 PM

can someone post a link to the m10000 bios? I don't see it on epia's site?
