Hi there

UCP 2.0 :

Screenshots from my MMX

I got my new UCP in a state that in can finally be published.
The new version is compatible with the following PCI chipsets:
- ALi M1521
- ALi M1531
- ALi M1541
- Intel 440BX
- Intel i815

- ALi M1523
- ALi M1533
- ALi M1543
- Intel PIIX4
- Intel ICH2

I do plan to port (refactor/remake) code for ISA chipset support soon. Plus some improvement / modification probably as for the layout as some options are kind of long so I might change the UI so the top half are the settings and the bottom half, the help... Or maybe update the center vertical line so it's dynamic to auto adjust width according to the stuff in the left column. Once I have ISA stuff back, that will allow me to also configure other PCI stuff that are accessed thru normal I/O ports (for example that BuB S3 fixing stuff)

If you have any idea for improvement or request for chipset, please let me know

Utilisation, you won't be lost, if you ever used Award BIOS. Settings are saved in the same folder as the .exe. Once you made configurations, you can put the thing in the autoexec.bat with /autoload switch, to just load the configured settings.

There is a memory test tool in the program, but it's still alpha-ish and ugly. If you want to test new memory timing/speed settings in memtest86+, you can simply boot using something like QEMM, set the settings and press ctrl-alt-del, it will fastboot (instantly load memtest from the flop) without going back to the BIOS, preserving all settings. If you do that, be sure to not have network drivers loaded as they also don't get reseted and they will DMA packets in the RAM, failing the test.

Note that I have only tested on Ali M1531/M1533 (My system). Settings in yellow in the screenshot are what I changed (Gained 1.5fps on Quake yay!)

There way more interresting options in Ali chipsets.. Intel seam to be way more limited..
