Packard Bell Aloh@

[BurritoJohn]

Hi,
I'm searching for a method to change my bios splash screen. My PC is a Packard Bell Aloh@/Aloha, and support has been dropped since 2010 (Original BIOS file are missing in the web).

I managed to recover a BIOS for a similar NEC-branded product on NEC's dead ftp, but the splash screen will not be the same anymore if I flash this BIOS.

Is there a way to dump my old BIOS (AMI, the computer is on Windows Me) in order to swap the splash screen ?

Thanks in advance, I attach the NEC-branded BIOS file.

Edit: I have been able to open the rom with AMIBCP 7.60 and to dump NEC's retro pcx bootlogo. I now need to find the old one from packard bell.

I finally managed to find the logo, and the patched BIOS works like a charm!

Necroposting, but in case anyone is looking for the AMI Bios Patcher or the PCX files to patch between the NEC/PB logo's, I have it on my website, along with drivers and information on these machines:
