Modify BIOS name and BIOS version

[rene89]

VirtualBox sets as BIOS name "Default System BIOS" and as version "VBOX - 1" in the DMI data of a VM. Is there a way to change these values to arbitrary ones?

The commands mentioned in the VirtualBox manual, section 9.12. doesn't help for these specific DMI data.

Thanks in advance!

See ch. 9.12 Configuring the BIOS DMI information of the user manual.

Hi, thanks for reply.

I just tried all the options right now but none of them worked. I need to change the value of the version that appears by typing in DOS: "wmic bios get version" (VBOX - 1)
Is it possible that the command is not listed in chapter 9.12 or the function has not been implemented?

Thank you

Either is a possibility. You'd have to check the source code for more details...

I did download the source but have some much files here. Have specific place here for help me find and replace the value of this variable?

Thank you

Are you going to build your own VirtualBox? With no hardening? The debug version?

[wendelf]

Sorry, but you tell me to see the source and I thought changing that value and then compiling the program with the change would not be difficult. After locating this variable I would search on how to compile but apparently it is not that simple, correct?

Absolutely correct! It's not a "gcc VirtualBox.c" type of thing. Check the building instructions, see i you can get it going, and then you'll know enough to find the variable.
