AMI Full Screen BIOS Logo

[DS_abx]

Two weeks ago I posted a question regarding full screen logos in Award BIOSs. Has anyone had any success adding a full screen logo to an AMI Bios. If so, do you have any tutorials or software that would be helpful? Thanks. Oh yeah, this is for an ASUS P4P800 SE motherboard.

I was able to replace the MSI full screen bios logo on my Hetis 965 using an AMI bios tool called mmtool v3.12. I extracted a module named OEM logo and found it to be a pcx image, 640x480@256color. I then replaced the OEM logo module with my own image converted to pcx format. I used IrfanView to do the conversion.

For your motherboard you could use Asus MyLogo for a custom bios logo.

Hey SpinMac,

Thanks for the info...I'm trying to change the boot logo on my MSI GM965. I just have a couple questions. I downloaded MMTool 3.12 and found the OEM Logo in my bios file and extracted it. I then changed the file extension to a variety of file types to determine what it was. I tried PCX first since that's what you said it was, but it wouldn't open in Adobe Photoshop under any of the commonly known image extensions...Am I doing something wrong?

I appreciate your help! You're the first person I've found with success altering the boot logo on the new AMI Bios.

Oh yes!!!
I resolved this problem.
Thanks and respect Veit Kannegieser ( veit@kannegieser.net ) for him nice stuff ami_ppm.com ( httр://kannegieser.net/veit/programm/ami_ppm.arj )
Spinmac's method applicable for AMI BIOS core 7 or earlier,probably.
But since core8 AMI use GRFX format for small logo into 1A SMALL LOGO(S) module.
Veit's utility may convert GRFX to PPM then IrfanView in any format.
Enjoy
