You need to add the hash value for your BIOS in evox.ini

Tutorial written by : Taran

1. The BIOS that you would like to have a CRC on should be 256k. If you have a 512k or 1 MEG BIOS you will need to reduce the size. To cut a BIOS in to pieces I would suggest downloading the file splitting tool from: JR Split File: http://www.spadixbd....ools/jsplit.htm
Run the jsplit.exe file you downloaded select your BIOS to split, destination directory for the split files, Custom Size for Bytes per flie and finally put in 262144 for the size in bytes.

2. Use the dos executable named md5.exe from ( http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/ ).
To use this app put MD5.EXE in the same directory as the 256k BIOS you want the CRC number on. Drop to a COMMAND prompt and type: md5.exe "bios name.bin"

3. Take the 32 character string that was output from MD5.exe and put it in your evox.ini file. Put the string under the other "ROM =" lines. Make your new INI entry look like theirs. Start your new line in the INI with ROM = then in quotes put a description 32 CHARACTERS MAX, then put a comma a "0x" followed by your CRC string. and example of this would be: (note the 0x) ROM = "EvoX 2.1", 0x99487615bb30670cb65993388fcf2a63

or just use a program like xbtool load the bios that your useing and it will say something like "copy md5 to clipboard"
then open up your evox.ini and add it in somewhere in the middle...

You have to add an MD5 identification string for your bios in Evox.ini

eg
ROM = "X2 4979.06",0x56be0f0146d1a69c0f1e6fa9a9558394

See this thread for a mostly complete list of MD5 strings:

(or you can use X2 Bios Manager to generate your own MD5)

And you probably have an older version of Bios Checker that does not recognise newer bios versions.

It won't..

Find the line in your .ini that says current and copy and paste it to a descriptive line about your BIOS. Look at the dozens that are already there for the syntax.

Edit your EVOX.INI, add the "ROM = ..." line that matches your bios.
Read this thread for that info:

Load the bios with XBtool to get it's md5 sum.

chelrob · « **Reply #28 on:** December 10, 2003, 01:16:00 PM »

Or look in your evox.ini for "current"

there is also a program in the downloads section that will identify your bios for you
