New ATOM-15 - now supports R9 380 and R9 380X cards

Calamity:
BTW your bios file is almost identical byte by byte to one that I had here from another user, it looks like a different revision. In this case, the patched bios did work, I'm posting it here just in case it works on yours too.

buttersoft:
Thanks again. Your mod of my bios is bit-for-bit identical to mine when compared. I'll give that other Bios a go though, as it is slightly different, and see if it works.

buttersoft:
Sadly no dice with that alternative BIOS. It bricks as well. Interestingly I had to use an older version of AMDVBflash as the newer ones all flatly refuse to bypass the SSID check. All recovered ok with the second AMD card, but sadly no Atom15 for me with this card, it seems.

I was very excited to see this post, as I recently purchased an XFX R9 380x, and was able to get EmuDriver successfully loaded and working, to output to my JVC 27" CRT. 

Alas, I've not had luck patching the extracted ROM from my GPU's BIOS.

I have an XFX 380x.  I'm using the DOS based approach (with a USB thumb-drive with FreeDOS on it).

I'm able to extract the ROM file. I'm able to load it using Atom-15.exe.  However, when I try to "Patch BIOS", I get the error "Hook not possible. GOP reallocation failed" error.

I've tried d/l'ing a ROM for my card from Techpowerup, same issue.

Interestingly, if I d/l and use a ROM for a Sapphire brand R9 380x, I can patch it.  Unfortunately, this ROM doesn't work with my XFX card, even though their spec's are the same (using it with lbios hangs my system).

Not a complaint, as I appreciate all of the work Calamity has done, just an observation.  Maybe for now, anyone thinking of purchasing the R9 380x should consider getting the Sapphire version, as that's what currently seems to be compatible.

Calamity:
Roland_001,

The fact that lbios hangs doesn't mean the bios won't work. Unfortunately lbios hangs with too big roms. Didn't find time nor energy to update it.

That said, if you risk to flash the Shaphire bios, make sure you know how to unbrick your card in case things go bad.
