Asus Motherboards and MyLogo2 BIOS supported file formats? help??
Hi all!
Does someone know definitively what bmp/gif file format is the correct one to be used with MyLogo2 enabled motherboard? I have two types of ASUS motherboards, a P5B-Deluxe WiFi ( http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?mo...l2=11&l3 =307 ) and a P5N-EM HDMI ( http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...&mo delmenu=1 ) according to all the specs and details in the manual they are both "MyLogo2" enabled. When I try to use the MyLogo software, I am unable to get any images loaded. The software does show me some thumbnails of the images available, but none are loadable. I have tried 16 color(8bit), 8 color(4bit) at 640x480 resolution in BMP, AWBM, GIF89a, GIF87a, GIF, PCX,TIFF and JPEG formats. PCX and TIFF were not recognized by the MyLogo Software. With AWBM, GIF and JPEG the MyLogo2 software crashes when it goes to load the image. With the 8bit and 4bit BMPs the image is at least displayed but when I go to write it to the bios file it errors with "image size too large" ( I have tried with file sizes ranging from 150K to 600K, with 300K being tried the most). The manual refers to file formats called mGIF and mJPEG (the "m" is for mobile I think) but I am unable to find any software that would facilitate the creation and/or manipulation of that file format. The only other utility I could say that as been anywhere close to helpful is called awdbedit(http://awdbedit.sourceforge.net). This application allowed me to view, extract and replace the image loaded by default on the BIOS however, when I take and install the altered BIOS on to the target motherboard and it reboots, it fails to initiate the screen and emits a seires of beeps from the POST. I recover with the utility disk that came with my motherboard, which still has the old logo that I want to get rid of. If the motherboards support the feature MyLogo2 then shouldn't this be easy and spelled out in simple english someplace? Im sorry to come off frustrated but this is really driving me crazy. I would appricate any help, insight or direction anyone can provide. TIA Beau |
