    something must be wrong with that file or its to complex for the bios it will not load properly. the hazard one without the logo loads fine so there must be something wrong with that bmp that he loaded.. we'll wait for his reply. but i can do the one with the reg hazard the same as his without the sager on it

    Really? That's weird, do the other ones work or no? They're all .bmp, 256 colors 640 X 480 and under 300k! That one specifically is 264k. Hmm, I'll email it to you.. lmk if the other ones work or not. Maybe I'm doing something wrong!?

    I just emailed them all to you

    Try this one Z..

    So, I'm curious. How badly do the images stretch? I'm working on one right now and would like to get an idea of how blurry they become when used.

    Thanks,
    Dan

    its not to bad..the bios screen is not the whole page.. so if you have something full color it may not show up as the full screen anyway.. thats the reason most bios screens are made on a black backround or single color

    Oh yeah definitely what I was looking for but now I guess I need to update to the 1.00.08 bios before I can flash the modified boot screen, can someone help me out with a link to the bios, cause I am having serious difficulties finding it.

    lol the file i gave you IS THE 1.00.08 BIOS.. it already has the boot screen in it lol.. just flash it and you will have the 1.00.08 bios..i actually mod the bios itself so it is not a flash for just the boot screen.. its the whole thing. i mod them with phoenix editor

    They're a couple layers, but I combine them before I send them. The last one, Crysis was only one layer, one image. Ugh! Gonna sleep on it, have to get up early!

    Hi z, maybe u forget to change the Refresh.BAT, it still uses the 57RU_108.WPH, not BIOHAZARD.WPH. And myself would add a /s command, or it´ll be too loud.... :)

    you need to rename the biohazard.wph to the 57RU_108.WPH as i stated in one of the first posts.. let me see if it will accept the silent command. ill try that in a bit.

    i have you rename it because some people want 3 or 4 different ones and i save them as different names so you know which one is which this way i dont have to built 4 different bios'. and you can only have one built into the usb stick at one time to flash since it looks for that specific name. so i have you rename it. only takes a minute shouldnt be a big deal and if anyone is not sure how just ask.
