Hey All

Today (As I was surfing for ~~porn~~ new information on the Internet on GMA , I've stumbled across an achievement found in Intel site itself). It sems that a guy by the name of Mr.Rabbit managed to find a way to hack Intel 945/915 (GMA 900/950) drivers that allows DirectX 10 Gaming (no joke. Read more on how is it possible in the first place). This guy (seems to be a genius) managed to hack Intel 4 series drivers (Drivers meant for the new X3100 , 965 chipset) and made it possible to work with older Intel Graphics. Thus giving you the possibility of playing games such as COD2 (which was thought to do be IMPOSSIBLE to play on). Nevertheless , it gives us some hope for people who are using this on-board card to play some decent games. (Oh you may forget about latest games , they might work however I am not sure if its even playable in the first place or not)

Anyway , here are the drivers. Sorry , Its meant for Vista only.

EDIT : It appers that there is a XP version as well sure if it would work. Its UNTESTED. Mr.Rabbit , didn't write or modified it. Its written by another guy.

http://rs319.rapidshare.com/files/138590450/original.zip (VISTA)
http://rapidshare.com/files/147593094/DRIV...ANUALLY.7z.html (Windows XP - Untested)

Install and forget. It might rant on saying that its not signed. Just ignore that. Once you have installed , check out your DirectX Version ( ggo to start and type dxdiag and it would show Version 10 instead of 9.0c. Congrats , you have unlocked DirectX 10 capabilities of this card *cough , it uses your CPU* *cough* *cough*)

Anyway those who are being adventurous can modify latest drivers from Intel by following Mr. Rabbit's guide

Its simple to modify. Download the “Mobile Intel 4 Series Drivers for Windows Vista” from intel. Then extract the “.exe” file, you can do it using winrar. Then move to Graphics folder. There you will notice a file called Igdlh.inf or in other words setup information fîle. Now, make sure the drivers ur downloading the file version is 15.9.8. Ok…now do exactly as I am telling you…

Copy the following coding as in its apporpriate places…

= Under [Intel.mfg] copy this

%iLPGD0% = i945G0, PCI\VEN8086&DEV2772

%iLPGD1% = i945G1, PCI\VEN8086&DEV2776

%iCLGD0% = i945GM0, PCI\VEN8086&DEV27A2

%iCLGD1% = i945GM1, PCI\VEN8086&DEV27A6

%iCLGE0% = i945GME0, PCI\VEN8086&DEV27AE

= Under General Installation Section copy this

=Just after General Installation Section you will notice the “.coinstallers”. Copy this

[i945G0.CoInstallers]

AddReg = CoInst.AddReg

CopyFiles = CoInst.CopyFiles

[i945G1.CoInstallers]

AddReg = CoInst.AddReg

CopyFiles = CoInst.CopyFiles

[i945GM0.CoInstallers]

AddReg = CoInst.AddReg

CopyFiles = CoInst.CopyFiles

[i945GME0.CoInstallers]

AddReg = CoInst.AddReg

CopyFiles = CoInst.CopyFiles

[i945GM1.CoInstallers]

AddReg = CoInst.AddReg

CopyFiles = CoInst.CopyFiles

=If now scroll a bit further you will notice Service Installation. Copy the following

[i945G0.Services]

AddService = igfx, 0x00000002, igfxServiceInst

[i945G1.Services]

AddService = igfx, 0x00000002, igfxServiceInst

[i945GM0.Services]

AddService = igfx, 0x00000002, igfxServiceInst

[i945GME0.Services]

AddService = igfx, 0x00000002, igfxServiceInst

[i945GM1.Services]

AddService = igfx, 0x00000002, igfxServiceInst

=Scroll a bit more further u will notice “End of Device Specific Inf”. Copy this..

[i945G0.GeneralConfigData]

MaximumNumberOfDevices = 2

MaximumDeviceMemoryConfiguration = 256

[i945G1.GeneralConfigData]

MaximumNumberOfDevices = 2

MaximumDeviceMemoryConfiguration = 256

[i945GM0.GeneralConfigData]

MaximumNumberOfDevices = 2

MaximumDeviceMemoryConfiguration = 256

[i945GME0.GeneralConfigData]

MaximumNumberOfDevices = 2

MaximumDeviceMemoryConfiguration = 256

[i945GM1.GeneralConfigData]

MaximumNumberOfDevices = 2

MaximumDeviceMemoryConfiguration = 256

=In the end of file you will notice “localizable Strings”. copy this..

iLPGD0 = “Intel® 82945G Express Chipset Family”

iLPGD1 = “Intel® 82945G Express Chipset Family”

iCLGD0 = “Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset Family”

iCLGD1 = “Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset Family”

iCLGE0 = “Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset Family”

There you go. Then just save the file again and close . Then run the setup.exe…During installation it will ask u wheather u wanna proceed with the installation or not. Just say yes…And one more thing when ur done installation. just open run and type “dxdiag”. You will notice that these drivers are actually WHQL DIGITAL SIGNED for GMA950. And also ur DDI Version will change to 10 from 9ex. If u need any assistance just scrap a msg and I will get back to you…Also the above coding can be used by any user of 945chipset. As I have modified the coding in a manner that all 945 chipsets will accept the driver for installation.

All the best guys……Hope u guys give me some credit for the hard work…

So its possible to game on your netbooks and older laptops now with the Intel GMA 9xx series. People have reported that their frame rates went up and things like that. I am not sure , as I'll be doing tests myself (Downgraded from Vista to XP and now upgrading back to Vista to test this whole thing out). If it does give hope , that means we can play somewhat new games on our netbooks and older laptops with this integrated graphics card

Once you have installed this driver and to enable "emulated hardware TnL" (Mr.Rabbit claims that this card allows you to do that). Do the following

CODE

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000]
"~game.exe"=dword:00000001

Copy and paste that to notepad and replace "~game.exe" with the .exe of the game that you wish to run (i.e "~cod4.exe"). Don't remove the ~. This would enable hardware emulated TnL and other stuff with the help of CPU. Just make sure that you got a snappy CPU. I think Mr.Rabbit made use of SSE2 and SSE3 (found on latest CPUs)

List of compatible games :-

Adapted from :- http://groups.google.com/group/intel9x-gam...k-intel-gma-950

If the game wants you to run 3DAnalyzer , you may just grab it from by doing a google search. With the modified drivers , you may play even more games (games which require you to use the modified drivers are listed here)

I just found out this morning. That is why i had to format XP and install Vista just to do some bench and post. I'll see what I can do. I need to get the figures , otherwise it would be just a hypothesis !

mr. rabbit claim that he hack the intel GMA, did he do any modification on the hardware? if just on software dont u its just another another new driver

true or not, benchmark prove everything

BTW, i'm using nvidia 7150M/630M, the game u mention above part of it i can ply at high settings, i think COD2 also can, even COD4 at lowest settings, crysis warhead 1FPS at the lowest settings

but i see some of my frend using X3000 also can ply many games at medium or low settings

If he did modified to the hardware , people would have to open their laptop and get ready with the soldering gun.

I've not compared with my old one. However I can run benchmark (this is why I ask someone who knows what he is doing to test)

Your graphics card is another story. It has Hardware TnL and GMA 9xx series lacks of it. GMA X3xxx is another story. Even my ATI Xpress 200M can play these games at medium/high settings )ld ones) and COD2 can , COD4 can. Its not a problem (sure it plays at the lowest settings) but it runs fine. Intel on the other hand is a different story. You'll have to read through the whole article first

after the modification, DX9 become DX10, well, did the intel GMA support it? or is just an illusion?

isn't that the hardware itself have limited performance?

and DX10 is slower than DX9....

seems i need to wait for benchmark first

what? vista can run aero glass with gma900

if ur vista don't have aero, u need to upgrade your vista. probably, ur using vista home basic that don't have aero glass desktop

nope, on Vista Ultimate, no Aero...

i know on Vista Beta, it's possible...

but MS removed the support when Vista hit the shelves...

Intel's explanation: hadware limitation...

crap man...

Try those drivers. IMO they have unlocked (and given me DX10 capabilities). Don't get excited , it uses the CPU. Pretty much I could run a DX10 demo and that would throw me 1-2fps. Thats about it !

Try the drivers above , you may need to edit inf to point to the GMA 900 hardware id and who knows it might work
