Default VMWare 6.5 build 118166

Can anyone mod this newest VMWare bios with the ASUS SLIC?

I tried doing it myself using that PDF tutorial, but it wouldn't boot.

Here's the untouched bios:

The bios has changed, that's why I was asking. The VMWare will function with the old bios, but with reduced functionality.

The links you posted are for old versions of the VMWare, and the tutorial that tells how to mod the VMWare bios is also old and doesn't apply to this new bios.


So, the request still stands. Does anyone know how to mod this newer bios?

The BIOS is definitely different. I did a test mod and it worked and confirmed on WS2008 Standard edition. It will work also for Vista and XP. I will polish up the mod and upload it if you want. I inserted Dell SLIC and the following SLP 1.0 strings:
"Dell System"
"Dell Inc"
"Dell Computer"
"Dell Quanta"

Instructions are pretty much the same as the tutorial. Let me know.

Yes, it is a new Dell SLIC reportedly retrieved from a server 2008 (thanks to TheOneAndOnly) and it doesn't matter. They both use the same certificate.

for reasons I don't know, phoenix bios editor wouldn't run on my machine.

Could you please also make another mod with Lenovo TP-79 SLIC?
(can be found here LENOVOTP-79)

Thanks in advance
