Hey guys!

I`ve seen some web pages that come up with small programs that update the vga bios of my card; but when i use nvflash with a rom file named smgf256.rom it brings out an eeprom error it says...

Chip name=Geforce 256 sdr, vendorID=10Deh, DeviceID=0100h
Opened c:\vgabios\smgf256.rom successfully.
Cheking for supported EEPROM...
EEPROM man.ID, devcode (55,AA): supported EEPROM not found.

My video card is not Creative; the box in wich i bouht it said something like EGOFORCE GeForce 256; i think is a generic video card with fancy chipset; evethough it uses detonator XP ver. 21.83 and works overcloked at 140mhz clock freq/ 190mhz memory freq

go to your manufactures website and look for the new bios you need the bios from that company cuz it may not be the same as the reference card design bios. becareful you don't flash cards with a different bios.
