Published a new update for Cerbios Tool , the tool developed by the Resurgent Team allows you to customize some of the features of the customized Cerbios BIOS .

 

The update introduced support for BFM (Bios Flashing Manager). This means that the BIOS loading and saving process will automatically be updated to support BFM .
