Hi all, I have an AMD Duo X2 GS modchip with 2 banks of 512kb each I was able to flash X2 5035 it being 512kb but I would like to try other Bios's that are 256kb, I am using Heimdalls Hexen disk from 2019 and I think I read somewhere that if im using the Hexen disk it will automatically do its magic putting a 256kb onto a 512kb flash bank, is this correct? Otherwise how does one do this?

If it uses Evoxdash to flash the BIOS, it will automatically double a 256KB BIOS to fit the 512KB of your bank. GentooX used for a Winbond flash chip does not resize the BIOS's dot bin file.

You can also create a 512KB dot bin file at a DOS prompt (CMD.EXE window):

  • copy /b 256KB_bios_name.bin+256KB_bios_name.bin new_512KB_bios.bin

Note: Do not forget the /b option else you'll have a mess on your hands flashing a BAD BIOS. The most significant bit (MSB) of every byte will be dropped (an ASCII copy will be made instead of a BINARY copy.)

or with Team Xecuter's Xecuter 2 BIOS Manager (X2BM) WIndows application.

To keep things simple for me will the Hexen disk automatically resize the bios for my modchip? ie 256kb to 512kb?

If you use the non-Winbond menu option, YES!
