Thanks will work on it some more. Is this extracting/patching etc similar to true hacking where one takes a compiled source code and dissasembles it, then uses a debuger to watch where the program lands it for example when the program asks for a serial then the hacker knows where ithat part of the code is being used? Then they do some trial and error changes and then assemble it and test it?

Are these DSDT.dsl files basically the same thing, starting out originally as source code that was compiled into a BIOS ROM and flashed to the MB.

We are dissasembling what was once source code but now machine code that is dissasembled??

Am I way off base with this analogy?


Because if this is kinda what we are doing no wonder it difficult to get things right.
