Correct. Maybe we can use the Vista Boot to achieve our goals? --- EDIT I think Paradox OEM BIOS Emulation Toolkit is the more sophiticated method cause it is driver that hooks up in windows. i will have a look at this one.

A loader/emulation that catches the BIOS DSDT call would be the best solution i think: - No one has to patch the BIOS - would work with different versions

How does the nvidia driver reads the SLIC string? (HAL.dll?)

Maybe we should write an emulator that catches the call and returns the necessary code? @sveetsnelda Can you provide us with more information on where exactly the SLIC code and the other stuff is called?

Hi Guys, i'm also back on the SLI front... time for some new testing and hacking ;) Since you came up with some really good new info i think we can handle this! An interesting question to me is: If the changed serials belong to the chipset where is the code that verifys it? If i were...

If there would be more people willing to help .. but under those conditions .. no way I'm also writing my diploma thesis .. so i have no time too

Then which driver function?

Could you explain this a bit more further?

Well.. the title says it all. How does GPU-Z do this? Does it call a driver function?

I need some people for testing: - If you have a ASUS, ECS, Foxconn or MSI Board with the following Chipset: P35, X38, X48, P45 - If you have two Geforce Series 8/9/200 - If you are willing to help me :) --- EDIT Also 41 49 4C 53 reads SLIA, cause rw-everything reads it big endian which...

I also had that idea but didn't wanted to try it cause i really dunno how exactly this one works. But from my ASM skills (lol) i would tell that it must be correct if you delete the If-Else statement and only return the value. I think it is far more safe to simply edit the return statement...

Those are some of the codes... i also patched this one: So it returns the SLIC everytime the function is called...

This is only the return function. There is some more "code" with the cert ahead of it. Look at the UD4 BIOS (F3 and F4). We only need to know now what else the driver is checking... since the driver is not only looking for the certificate...

hey Solaris17, i patched a SLI cert right into my P45 BIOS but the driver doesnt recognize it. since you patched the drivers a while ago i think you should know where or for which functions the driver look at the BIOS/registers. would be great if you could provide me with the needed...
