It's quite normal. Each manufacturer is perverted in its own way.In fact, you have AMI Aptio 4, the very first versions. Therefore, the scatter.

In general, install VMWare, it is more reliable and calmer. :)

But intel no longer provides this file directly in microcode.dat
Need to use the "Intel Microcode.dat Converter" tool to convert
In addition, the microcode_amd.XXX.BIN provided on the Knowledge Base webpage is a very old version.

Sorry, I didn't understand your comment. :)) Explain to what post your message is?

Sorry, it’s a reply to #329

Ah, you about VMWare?
As far as I remember it is not necessary to convert anything. Install software and add vCode in bin-format.

Intel official does not currently provide dat files

I am trying to mod the new X99 Sabertooth BIOS v4101.
I discover mmtool_a5.exe even properly located into UBU v1.74.0.3 folder is not recognized. Why ?

I had the same problem. Tried every 5.2 version, non got recognized. Used 5.0.0.7 as mmtool_a4.exe which does work. Z170 was the bios, thus a4 should also work for your X99.

@chef1702
Thanks for your suggestion to use a4 instead of a5 version for a Aptio V BIOS structure.

Not sure if sarcastic but don't you think z170 isn't Aptio V too? mmtool 5.0.0.7 renamed as a4 is working well. But what do I know...

I thought MMTool a4 version (v5.0.0.7) was for Aptio 4 BIOS and a5 version (v5.2.0.24) for Aptio 5 BIOS.
a4 version is working fine for X99 v4101 BIOS (Aptio 5).

I remind you. MMTool is required only for updating microcodes (Aptio 4/Aptio 5), if the BIOS contains more than one FFS with microcodes .. And also for updating OROM on Aptio 4.
Therefore, 2 versions of MMTool are used
v5.0.0.7 as mmtool_a4.exe
v5.2.0.xx as mmtool_a5.exe

There is also one caveat. Some BIOSes on Aptio 5 normally open only in MMTool v 5.0.0.7. (Mostly Asus)
If a replacement error occurs, the UBU will select a different version of MMTool if one is present.

Partial updates for UBU.
