thx spectra

you can get the old drivers on there website.

i just finished reading up on how to add your own video cards ID into the patchscript for cards not on the list for either outdated cards or new cards.

i'll post how to do it if it works, also this is for 8.453.1 64x. i hate to break it but it looks like anything before HD 2000 won't see the light of day on win32.

alright so it does work.

Heres the step to converting any Supported card under 8.453.1 64x (sorry no HD 4000s yet)

1. so all rtv files are is a txt file, just make a text file on the desktop and copy the below code into it. (i will explain soon)

SrcFile		= ati2mtag.sys

Dst6_1 = 66 c7 44 24 32 8C 95 0F B7 54 24 32 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
Dst6_2 = 66 c7 44 24 32 8B 95 0F B7 54 24 32 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
Dst6_3 = 66 c7 44 24 32 8D 95 0F B7 54 24 32 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
Dst6_4 = 66 c7 44 24 32 81 95 0F B7 54 24 32 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
Dst6_5 = 66 c7 44 24 32 83 95 0F B7 54 24 32 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
Dst6_6 = 66 c7 44 24 32 00 94 0F B7 54 24 32 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
Dst6_7 = 66 c7 44 24 32 03 94 0F B7 54 24 32 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
Dst6_8 = 66 c7 44 24 32 05 94 0F B7 54 24 32 90 90 90 90 90 90 90

2. now see you where it says your device ID? (near the bottom of the code) this is were you input your device id. Remember back in the tutorial when you had to grab the VEN Id? In 'Display Adapters -> -> Details -> Hardware Ids'. it should look something like this "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_7244&CC_0300" now you see 7244 grab that number and write it down.

3. take the number from your VEN ID (example for my 1950xt is 7244) switch the numbers so it reads 44 72.

4. now take your backwards numbers and place it within the txt file of code. it will read like this:

Src6 = 83 F8 40 75 1A 66 81 7C 24 30 02 10 75 11 0F B7 54 24 32
SCM6 = FF FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF FF FF
Dst6_0 = 66 c7 44 24 32 44 72<-(New Numbers) 0F B7 54 24 32 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
Dst6_1 = 66 c7 44 24 32 8C 95 0F B7 54 24 32 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
Dst6_2 = 66 c7 44 24 32 8B 95 0F B7 54 24 32 90 90 90 90 90 90 90

5. now change the "DstVar0 = force FireStream9170" to your liking, usually the card you're trying mimic. For me it was DstVar0 = force V7350

6. save the txt file. Than change the name to .rtv and use this instead of download the patchscript rar.

Note: this only works for 8.453.1 XP 64 Bit. From what i read you can apply the same to any script you get. just edit Dst6_0 and change the name in DstVar0

Injoy, it works but like all drivers there is up and downs...

I installed 8.453.1.3000 and patched it with patch2 on 2600xt.

gpu-z shows fireGL 5600!!

I am unable to instal CCC now...should I try an older version?

thanks

Edited July 6, 2008 by lolailando

ir_cow · July 8, 2008

that may work, for me i had to do the opposite try find the CCC from 8.3. there is also the "Ati control panel" which is waay old. people seem to find it works better.

if you still can't i hate to say but uninstalling evertyhing and deleting the folders is the next option.

ir_cow · August 7, 2008

man i cant wait for some real Firegl drivers, the new Firegls are suppose to be out this month and i'll update it when i find the patch.

@hornybluecow

As I saw the possibility of softmodding from a Radeon to a FireGL in some internet sites I said to myself "This is the only possibilty to have a FireGL card", hip hip hurra! But it was too early I think to yelling a Hurra! Because I am driving a Vista64 pc! And as you also know, I think, there is really few information on the Net about such a softmod. Also your discription about this softmod is not complete for all open question in consideration of Vista! I believe there is no satisfying info on the net soft mod in vista64, because I am searching since 2 days!!

I am trying to softmod my Radeon X1800 XT to FireGL V7350! This is the counter-part cards as you have allrady mentioned in you first post in this thread!

The problem is, I think you know it also, There is no "ati2mtag.sy_" file in unpacked drivers of FireGL for Vista! There is just 2 *.sys file, one of them is atdcm64a.sys and the other one and probably counter-file of XP's "ati2mtag.sy_" is "atikmdag.sy_"

I tried to patch with "Patchscript3" in native form and also in replaced form. I tried to replace lines of the "patch";

[Common]

SrcFile = ati2mtag.sys

BakFile = ati2mtag.old

with

[Common]

SrcFile = atikmdag.sys

BakFile = atikmdag.old

RivaRuner 2.09 answers allways with warning " Patch script has not been succesfully executed. Read Log for details." In the same patch windows down below "Browsing for file ati2mtag.sys... canceled" also the same for "atikmdag.sys" and "atikmdag.sy_" İt dosent work!

Then I saw your post from "Apr 27 2008, 06:09 PM" in that you telling that you could "...post the patch for vista... " its high time!

Can you help me too to softmod my X1800 to a FireGL?

ir_cow · August 7, 2008

there is no support for vista softmod, and its not going to happen for a long long time, something about signed drives etc.. someone did write a quick guide on it but it only able to barely get it running so more of proof of concept :/

sorry about that

caltini · August 8, 2008

@hornybluecow

I installed, just because of this softmod, xp64.. I have an another "silly" problem now which i couldnt handle since 1 hour. Patch files which you have attached making troubles to me. After unraring with winrar 3.71 i am seeing that "patch5" has no extension! When i am adding *.rts (extention of riva) or *.txt iam getting a file like this "PK

Injoy, it works but like all drivers there is up and downs...

İt dosent work for me!

After I replaced "DstVar0" and "Dst6_0" patch script gives an Error!

"Browsing for file ati2mtag.sy_... compressed file selected

This Error pointing the line of script;

"Src0 = BA 67 00 00 00 E8 47 6E FF FF 85 C0 74 0D 48 8B D3"

I think it has to be replaced also in this line one or more codes.
