Send PM Re: improving Savage Quest emulation 06/13/13 06:39 AM Reply Being curios and bored I decided to have a look at the Bios file sq-aflash.bin. First thing I did was check it out in a hex editor and gathered the following information. The official (I assume Award) file name for this bios is 2a69kd42.BIN Back in the day I could search that and would have had a fair chance to find it. Now days you have to pay and pray! Sad The other readable txt include: Award Software International, Inc. 4.51 PG 12/31/98 Pentium II system A 440BX A Also later in the file: Award BootBlock Bios V.1.0 Copyright 1998 I quickly found out that Award Bios names are much like vehicle serial numbers. See: http://www.wimsbios.com/awardnumbers.jsp With that info I was shown that: 2a69k = Intel 440BX/ZX/GX and d4 = dfi I soon found myself here: http://www.dfi.com.tw/DFI-Lanparty/?biosCategorySelector=ARCHIVE Wondering and making an educated? guess, I figured it had to be the P2XBL. I downloaded that bios and sadly found that dfi does modify their bios's. I can only assume the company that made Savage Quest got those boards from dfi before they branded them with a custom Bios. ??? Anyway TrevEB later confirmed, that was the board and so it would seem that unless Stilleto can pull a 2a69kd42.BIN out of his hat, Mame would have to substitute or even rebuild the required file. I personally think that TrevEB could do what he did again and get a good copy, but I don't know what that all entails. There is no law in the arena
