Various BIOS Utilities for Modding/Research
Parses modern icon-less Dell BIOS HDR executables and extracts their SPI/BIOS modules. After extraction, the HDR image is automatically unpacked into individual SPI/BIOS modules via LongSoft's PFSExtractor-RS tool.
You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter the full path of a folder containing Dell HDR executables.
An already built/frozen/compiled binary is provided by me for Windows only. Thus, you don't need to manually build/freeze/compile it under Windows. Instead, download the latest version from the Releases tab. To extract the already built/frozen/compiled archive, you need to use programs which support RAR5 compression. Note that you need to manually apply any prerequisites.
Should work at all Windows, Linux or macOS operating systems which have Python 3.6 support. Windows users who plan to use the already built/frozen/compiled binary must make sure that they have the latest Windows Updates installed which include all required "Universal C Runtime (CRT)" libraries.
To run the python script or its built/frozen/compiled binary, you need to have the following 3rd party tool at the same directory:
- PFSExtractor-RS (i.e. PFSExtractor.exe)
PyInstaller can build/freeze/compile the utility at all three supported platforms, it is simple to run and gets updated often.
- Make sure Python 3.6.0 or newer is installed:
python --version
- Use pip to install PyInstaller:
pip3 install pyinstaller
- Build/Freeze/Compile:
pyinstaller --noupx --onefile Dell_HDR_Extract.py
