  Hello Devs,

  can't start a *.abs firmware at normally this firmware is based in
  Linux Kernel and this type of firmware is made for STB Receivers,

  So this is all information i provide to get support.

  When I use readelf it says files isn't an ELF file, so i can't run it like a 
kernel (Bootloader,Maincode, and etc. )

  so this is the cmd output when i use qemu Win64 (I don't whant to use
  linux to do the emulation about this *.abs extension firmware so
  please help me for win64 version from Qemu)

  CMD OUTPUT:

   C:\Program Files\qemu>qemu-system-mips.exe -machine mips -cpu
  mips32r6-generic -drive
  file=C:\30080.bin,index=0,media=disk,format=raw

  qemu-system-mips.exe: warning: could not load MIPS bios
  'mips_bios.bin'

  I also tried a lot of diferents qemu-system... and a lot of diferent
  configs like -machine -cpu -kernel -driver root= -PFLASH and etc...
  and nothing hapenned

  How can i reproduce this issue ? 
  Reply:. 

  Donwload *.abs firmware in amikoreceiver.com (only *.abs) and download
  AliDekompressor in http://www.satedu.cba.pl/

  Direct tools:

  FirmwareDecrypter_v8.9.zip :

  
http://www.satedu.cba.pl/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=FirmwareDecrypter_v8.9.zip&directory=Test%20Folder&;

  Ali__tools_Console_v4.0__CRC_FIXER.rar :

  
http://www.satedu.cba.pl/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=Ali__tools_Console_v4.0__CRC_FIXER.rar&directory=Test%20Folder&;

  
  so if Qemu can explain how can i fix this issue this can be highly helpfull.

  With my best regards,
