GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Yes im on the 12.8 set of drivers, the issue im seeing is every now and again my PC will not fully shutdown. I will go back to 12.7.0 to see it it resolves the shutdown issue.
So Boe 12s is released on our Beloved G1 Assassin - have you tried it ?
I am reluctant to try it now i have Virtualfreds 12r mod 6. Its probably a backwards step.
Unless Mr super Virtualfred updates 12s for us ?

I'm not "super" so i need a vacation ... Don't be reluctant, try the modded F12s

Thx for this bios,i will try it and report.
Wanna share my findings about integrating drivers into firmware and how windows users schould benefit from it.

Integrating ntfs.efi driver give windows user ability to boot windows UEFI instalation from ntfs formated USB stick.
This way we can have Install.wim bigger than on fat32 formated stick and with this little trick we remove this limitation.

Needed files are here.

I set GUID 9F3A0016-AE55-4288-829D-D22FD344C399 soo if your bios already have this one then u need to change it to something else.

How to change?

GenSec -s EFI_SECTION_PE32 -o NTFS.pe32 NTFS.efi
GenFfs -t EFI_FV_FILETYPE_DRIVER -g 9F3A0016-AE55-4288-829D-D22FD344C399 -o NTFS.ffs -i NTFS.pe32

i think the bios f14 mod 3 is better then _15a beta because the _14 mod3 allready add news microcodes.. virtual and stasio can you confirm? i dont know if f15a add some others feature

Not sure... F14 is a final BIOS, perhaps more stable ?... but F15a is really new, Gigabyte seems to have significantly work on it, i doubt that this is a regression... and F15a also has its modded version...
