.bin and .rom database bios files for flashing

jaeestrada · Dec 28, 2008, 10:59 PM

how come when i search and download bios' they are in .bin and when i want to flash my card, it requires a .rom file?

what should i do or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks for your time.

I'm pretty sure you can just rename it to .bin or .rom according to whatever you need to use for recognition.

Not possitive tho, so wait for a confirmation on this!

I took a chance and renamed the file and flashed it.

renaming the file does work!

my only problem was that the firmware I downloaded and flashed it with, didnt work out, i had to reaload the original. Thanks again

you can flash .bin or .rom, both should work.

i was using nvflash and it will not accept .bin, but never fear, i just renamed it and it confirmed it was a bios.
