Hey everyone...
I have successfully used Bios Patcher, with the /m command (selective patching) on top of an already modded BIOS, to fix an UDMA problem on a VIA MVP3 chipset motherboard (PCChips M577).
The problem is that the text string that Bios Patcher adds to the POST screen "www.ROM.by, BIOS patch v.4.23" pushes down the text that is two lines underneath, and makes it overlap over the CPU name : (
Does anyone know how I can apply Bios Patcher on the bios rom, without it adding the extra text to the POST screen?
Or how can I change/edit it?
This is my patch report:
BIOS Patcher ver. 4.23.

Also, does anyone know, what is that "hidden" step, that needed confirmation, between 13. and 14. ???
In my patching, I accepted it, as I didn't know what it was, and thought it might be essential.. But what is it doing??
P.S.
For anyone not knowing what Bios Patcher is, you can watch this great video made by Bits und Bolts on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KBYj1vx3zQ
