Custom EPA logo for Biostar M6VBE-A motherboard?

[maxxeMmx]

Hello,

I've been trying to add a custom EPA logo to my BIOS, yet without success. Perhaps someone can help me here.

The motherboard is Biostar M6VBE-A, and I use this official update now:
ftp://ftp.biostar-usa.com/bios/M6VBE-A/Vbe0727a.bin
I only want to add a logo to this update.

CBROM v2.15 shows this info:

Code:

******** Vbe0727a.bin BIOS component ********

No. Item-Name Original-Size Compressed-Size Original-File-Name
================================================================================
0. System BIOS 20000h(128.00K)13C9Bh(79.15K)original.tmp
1. XGROUP CODE 06040h(24.06K)04209h(16.51K)awardext.rom
2. CPU micro code 09800h(38.00K)05936h(22.30K)CPUCODE.BIN
3. ACPI table 02237h(8.55K)00DA4h(3.41K)ACPITBL.BIN
4. EPA LOGO 00046h(0.07K)0006Dh(0.11K)AWARDEPA.BIN
5. MIB ROM 00A34h(2.55K)0043Dh(1.06K)m6vbe.txt

This info from CBROM is from a customized upgrade from esupport.com for the M6VBE motherboard NOT M6VBE-A:

Code:

******** 2A6LGB09.BIN BIOS component ********

No. Item-Name Original-Size Compressed-Size Original-File-Name
================================================================================
0. System BIOS 20000h(128.00K)12ED1h(75.70K)2a6lgb09.bin
1. XGROUP CODE 071E0h(28.47K)04C51h(19.08K)awardext.rom
2. CPU micro code 05800h(22.00K)03AC4h(14.69K)CPUCODE.BIN
3. ACPI table 000DCh(0.21K)00093h(0.14K)ACPITBL.BIN
4. YGROUP ROM 00010h(0.02K)00038h(0.05K)awardeyt.rom
5. EPA LOGO 02BFCh(11.00K)00C44h(3.07K)esupport.bmp

The customized upgrade have the YGROUP part, I wonder what that does.
Also when I extract the EPA logos from the two versions they seem to differ in their format.
Also when I look at other similiar BIOSes they have the YGROUP part and EPA logo AwardBmp.bmp

If it is possible to add a logo for this BIOS I would like to have for example http://www.bios-mods.com/logo/png/via.png from your EPA gallery ..

Thanks!
That image will probably work.

However, for now, I am unable to verify that it works. I might be OK with computers, but BIOS is sensitive stuff.

I am SO stupid, because I tried to mod the image myself. And now the computer is dead after a bad flash, it starts but the screen is black. I should've waited for it to be made in a professional way by you guys.

It doesn't seem to be possible to do a recovery, since the computer doesn't boot. Otherwise I could've insert a disk with original BIOS to reflash..

So I ordered a chip replacement, I will receive it with FedEx, and HOPEFULLY it will start fine after chip replacement..

Well well or I am a dead guy
