      I'm suspicious I have some bad bios files, and I want to test them to see if it's the cause of some problems I'm having. Does anyone here know of a good Bios testing tool? Do they exist?

      You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

        BIOS files are like regular ROMs, they can be validated with the same tools used to validate/test roms - ClrMamePro, RomCenter, etc.

        Since they change rarely, they usually have known checksums (MD5/SHA1/CRC), so you can verify they're ok easily.
