VideoBIOS Collection

Sasha D
спасибо за прошивку...

Небольшое замечание: хотя прошивка получилась 128КБ, но на самом деле существенны только первые 64КБ. Дело в том, что в процессе дампа многих карточек Uniflash считывает флешку по два раза, так что дамп получается удвоенного объема.
Можете в этом сами убедиться посмотрев на первую половину прошивки и на вторую: они идентичны...

No problem

You are 100% right looks like 2 files in 1.
I dont know is it saved by Uniflash i did not used it for VGA bioses
i was used Dumpbios for my old PCI cards.
I can't help you about fixing this file i don't know how.
Did you see that only first 32kb of file have data & 2nd 32kb is empty.
Go to rom.by/bios_vid & download S3Trio bios you will see the file is full.

I'm totaly confused ???

I have bios from ATI MACH64 BIOS P/N 113-40603-101 3D Charger PCI 2MB EDO chip 3D RAGE II+DVD, 215GT2UB23 do you need it?

Sasha D

I'll fix it.

Of course. Because there are flashes only with 32KB size on S3 Trio... And they were dumped on programmer So we have 32KB-file...

Yes... Could you download it to any hosting or mail me, please?

I send you ATI bios to your mail.
I still did not make my programer device
Don't make more confusion the S3TRIO.BIN is 64kb not 32kb.
All my dumped bioses are 64kb but after 32kb empty.
Do you think this is OK ?
Can you send me ATI Mach64_1.zip bios when you fix it to 64kb?

Sasha D

sorry :oops: Now it's size is right (32kb).
But the local copy of file on my hard always was 32kb size...

It is normal. Look at Rage6 and R7000 BIOSes. They have a lot of space at the end of file... So the code size is < 32kb

Thank you: I've received it. So now I can send you fixed copy...

PS: I took a look to file... I didn't see any pecularity - it is "regular" 64KB VideoBIOS... BTW, could you write here the marking of flash? If it looks like 27C512, then it means thah you have 64KB flash on videocard... And the dump must be the same size

Root
OK i download the new Strio.bin now is 32kb.
I take a look R7000 bios its not totaly full.
Yes its AT27C512 you are right as usual.

So my dumped bioses is OK, do you need more ?
I have

NVIDIA VANTA-LT 2.05.20.02.81

Sasha D

yes, of course... And if you have some suggestions about VideoBIOS Collection, I'll listen

Hmmm, i was thinking about this & have ideas (you find crazy man to ask )
How much space (mb-gb) do we have?

All bioses should be *.rar packed (save space).
Dont make sub/sub/sub folders but extend file names
like this Abit.9550.256.DDR.Hynix.40.date.rar and just make folder 9550.
Exsample make file legend with explanation (better in *.html)

Company Model Memory Memory Memory Memory Bios Core Memory Bus

Name Name Size Type Company Speed Date Clock Clock
(this 2 rows UP are not shown normaly like I typed off line, sorry)

Abit. 9550. 256. DDR. Hynix. 40. date *** *** 128
Abit. 440se. 64. DDR. Hynix. 40. 69 250. 333. 128

then we will have something like this in
ATI/9550/Abit.9550.256.DDR.Hynix.40.date.***.***.128.rar
ATI/9550/Asus.9550.128.DDR.Samsung.40.date.***.***.128.rar
nVidia/17GF4MX/440se/Abit.440se.64.DDR.Hynix.40.69.250.333.128.rar

For Nvidia explaining date or version 4.17.00.69.c2
This will be OK too Hynix.40_69_250.333.128.rar
So there is no need for too much sub folders it's too complicated.

Every sub folder should be documented
Example nVidia/17GF4MX/MX440/ver.txt
Not like now nVidia/17GF4MX/ver.txt this is complicated
who care abouth other models, right goes for wanted model.

What do you think?

btw i have more ideas about moding & OC later
