Hey,
I want to use a self-compiled qemu version with a couple of changes to some strings. But I didn't find anything on the internet or the wiki on how to change the version used and since I'm a noob, i have no clue what to do. The best thing would be to use it just for this one vm but I wouldn't mind to use it for all vms if there is no other way.
Thanks in advance :)

that's a lot of effort for small changes. What are you trying to accomplish, maybe it's already possible without recompiling?

Please note that we can't support you if you use your own version! Please do not open forum threads with issues if you do run your own version. That said, here is the git repository with our patches on top: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-qemu.git;a=summary You can't just use the upstream version, because Proxmox VE expects certain features from these patches. You can compile it with make deb and then install the package.

I try to make one of my vms i use for gaming "undetectable", or at least less detectable, for anticheat software. I know it's hard and probably won't work but it's worth a shot and when I backup the original qemu binary, i should be safe. There are some bios and pci strings that seem to be hard coded.

Yes, i know. You already did more than enough for me, thank you :)

In the VM options in the UI, you can set the SMBIOS type 1 settings. For SMBIOS type 0 settings, you need to specify -args -smbios type=0,... in the VM config. There are other threads here in the forum, trying to acheive the same (without recompiling QEMU), you can just search for them.

I've tried most of the things I found in other threads but nothing worked, at least for EAC. I found a reddit thread for the exact same game that is a week old or so and therefor I wanted to just replicate the steps because it worked. As far as I know, not all the strings changed are changable using the SMBIOS settings, like all my harddrives named "QEMU HARDDRIVE".
