ATOM-15 Help, lbios hanging on patch & original .ROM
« on: December 20, 2021, 07:18:50 pm »
I'm trying to patch my uprights HD 4350 card and lbios is hanging when I try to load the patched bios, but its also hanging if I try the original bios.

The fact that lbios is hanging even when I try to apply the original rom makes me think the patched rom may not be the issue, but I'm curious what people here say first before I potentially brick this thing.

I only tried on the first card i did, but I could never get lbios to work. I went ahead anyway with perfect results every time. The project it even more mature now.

Which is not a guarantee, but you're never going to get one, so it's up to you :)

You should be able to recover a bricked card with another card. And possibly by plugging into a mobo video port.

Yes, just go ahead. I just made that lbios program to help me testing things, it's very hacky and I guess it hangs DOS depending on the vbios file size. It loads vbios on system ram and executes it, what could go wrong.

Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.
