Hello, I have an R0070J4 BIOS and want to enable the hidden Intel menu. I have backed up my BIOS properly (Universal BIOS Backup) and added compatible platform data from an official R0030J4 BIOS update (I have also confirmed that this image will work). I am having issues repacking the BIOS (I am using PhoenixTool to unpack/repack the BIOS and am only modifying TEMPLAT0.ROM (with HxD), I am NOT applying any SLIC mods, etc.). The file size of TEMPLAT0.ROM is 35072 Bytes before and after I add the Intel menu in HxD, but the PhoenixTool says the file size (of TEMPLAT0.ROM) is "4 bytes too long" . Is there any way I could fix this without disabling the "Preserve Module Size" option (which results in a success + more modifications (byte by byte compare) than I made)? Also, can I get someone more experienced than I am in BIOS modding to add the Intel menu to this BIOS image? I want to compare your work with mine to see if I am doing this right (so far, I have been emulating the BIOS in PBE). I removed the "Multi-Processing" option (Intel menu contains this option as well, so no loss) in the advanced menu to make more room to add the Intel menu without changing the file size (Core Multi-Processing Jump Table Offset for Advanced Menu: hex search in TEMPLAT0.ROM: 530D , offset 0x02A6).

R0070J4 (Intel Menu Mod) [modified w/ Intel Menu, PhoenixTool to Extract/Repack and HxD to hex edit, made from above file, I bypassed "4 bytes too long" error by disabling "preserve module size" option which resulted in more mods (hex compare) than I made but worked when tested in the PBE emulator (full Intel Menu!), the TEMPLAT0.ROM file was the same size before and after modification (bit-size compare), mod performed so it would not mess up rest of the file]

NOTE: I do NOT want to perform any SLIC mods, I do not need any cracking software (I have Genuine Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit). After this small issue is fixed and I confirm that my tested-working BIOS can be flashed with CRISIS using my USB Floppy Drive, I can test this BIOS. If any more information is needed, please ask. Any help or info that could help me would be very highly appreciated!
