k thanks
already have tv cap on my laptop so it's all good

i'm probably just plain doing this wrong, but i set all the values for the blob to 0 (other than the alpha) and didn't get any sort of error, but the blob just plain stayed green
i was trying to do this all through hex edit only as i couldn't get my ida to work properly for me nor do i understand how to edit from there as much as i do from hex
if i were to set a value to 0 i would change the original number to 00 00 00 or 00 00 00 00?

You can only set two of them to 0.0, one will still be 1.0. It would be 00 00 00 00.

Has anyone figured out how to change the logo color for the 4983 yet? It seems we are working backwards with this bios figuring out the more complicated stuff first. For every other bios we were always able to change the logo color long before we were able to change the boot up animation. Thank You

I think getting rid of the hard stuff first is the best way then finsh up by taking care of the easy stuff. But I'll look into those logo colors for 4983 tonight.

Psilocybe: I assume your trying to make your flubber black by setting all the values to 0. It is possible that one of the values does not have to be 1.0 but then again the only other value it can be is 0.0. All you need to do is switch the address where it sets green to 1.0. I switch it with 6c which is the address that holds the flubber radius since that value is set later or to make it simpler give it the address of red or blue and then set then both to 0.

well damn, i guess i don't get it then because when i look through where the memory addresses are i see like a7 for one then i see aa, this is only 4 bytes later, how can it be the correct location if it does need to be 00 00 00 00?

Angelfly, i guess maybe i'm not cut out for this, casue i don't understand
also i've successfully changed the TM to not show, the string is the same as it has been from at least 4980, i've tried the xlip and stuff but it hasn't exactly worked.  the tm has worked though

[Psilocybe]

i think i may understand that and will try it out tomarrow to get my black flubber and scene geometry

the hex string for the TM logo is 455c c1e0 1889 search for that and change the 18 to a 20 to remove the TM

[Psilocybe]

sounds good

until just now i haven't even heard of the flubbered program, i guess i'll look back through this thread?

for a white flubber simply change the red and the blue to 3F800000 (don't forget to do it backwards) and for black I just explained in my previous post how to do it.

I was wondering how I would go about doing so as I dont have IDA just Hex workshop. So in other words how would I go about changing the red and the blue to 3F800000 using a hex editor

[Psilocybe]

read back through the thread
basicly you take your value for R G & B individually
if you have 128r 40g and 225b then you take the 110 and divide it by 225 (110/255) this will give you your decimal value 0.43 then convert this with a base converter to the float 3EDC28F6 but since it's intel byte order you use F628DC3E

[slick320]

Alright I get everything its just that the base converter provided by the link is kinda confusing. Once I put F628DC3E in the decimal flaoting point I get NaN for decimal Value entered then alot of zeros. What did I do wrong :S ?

[Psilocybe]

no the number you need to put in is the decimal number up in the first box

Sad day Monday. While running linux I messed up my NTFS partitions. I lost all my code for the flubber exe's along with my 2,400+ MP3's. Losing the exe's code was not a big deal I was stuck trying to get it to work anyways I dont know that much in C and C++. I will try a diffrent way when I get back home right now I am in NY looking at houses.

angelfly: What are you looking for now?

Thank you very much. I hope you are able to find the rest.

you must have missed what he said, he wasn't looking at 4983,he accedentally looked at 4981

[Psilocybe]

yeah i couldnt get the colors to change, like i said the only thing i could get to work out for me was to remove teh tm logo
i thought that the only things that were encrypted int he bios were the boot sequence and the x3 code they were testing
