I have noticed some people ask about digging inside vmware hw settings
here is the start
VMware Workstation's BIOS image is located under .rsrc\BINRES\ inside vmware-vmx.exe
The BIOS image is file 6006 with a size of 524,288 bytes
After extracting the Rom file "Phoenix Bios Editor" come to do the tricks
In DMI strings there is some usefel things to edit beside UUID
After editing and building the modified rom file , save to desierd workstation folder and edit the .vmx file add line
bios440.filename = "VmBIOS.rom"
Attached is moded extractedd rom from vmware 8 (my favourite)
Phoenix Bios Editor
