Ladies and Gents,

No new chipsets have been implemented.

current supported chipsets are:

- Mobility 9600
- Mobility Fire GL 9000
- Mobility Radeon 9000 / 9200
- Radeon Mobility
- Radeon Mobility 7500
- Radeon Mobility 7500 GL
- IGP 340M /345M
- IGP 320M

If you're having any problems with the tool, post them here, PM me or mail me

Enjoy,

Patje

Ok, it was one of this RTFM (Read The Fucking Manual) errors ... Only have to select the ATI directory ... But: Modding ok, Driver will not install (no supported Hardware). I have a Notebook with Mobility Radeon 9000. Any suggestions ?

Greetings

Guys, i've received some mails about people complaining about this path noth found error.
I'm currently investigating it, but it will be fixed soon.

schwarz2 · Nov 12, 2003, 06:51 PM

excellent to see another release... thanks so much patje =)

msix · Nov 13, 2003, 03:01 PM

Latest modtool fails with rutime errosrs and "bad directory" errors also, I´m on a laptop with an original Radeon Mobility.
Anyway, Patje is a great guy and I´m sure he will fix it all...
Thank you for your effort again patje...

~~Crash Override~~ · Nov 14, 2003, 03:49 AM

were trying to do an IGP320M and it was failing out with run-time errors here as well

Any idea why?

ghost_zero · Nov 14, 2003, 06:37 PM

First: Activating PowerPlay doesn't change that it is not activated. BUT WHAT IS EVEN MORE IMPORTATN IS THIS: If I try to start a game, it hangs up, in Warcraft III without any message, in generals zero hour I get before the message that system error has occured and then again hangs up. And the last point: I used the modder on the v3.9 All-In-One-Driver but still I was only able to install it, if I installed the Driver and the ControlPanel themselves and not together. Can you help me in this cases?

M_A_D · Nov 17, 2003, 08:48 PM

ok, i'm having a problem:
with v.1.4 of your mod tool:

i extract the drivers (full package) using the standard path, mod them successfully, but when i run the setup.exe that should install the complete package, i get an "hardware not found" error.
if i run the setup.exe from the driver-subdirectory it installs without any problems...

for system config see sig...

besides that, great work, keep it up

patje · Nov 18, 2003, 09:43 AM

Ok, for those who get runtime error " path not found " or the error "directory does not contain the correct files"

can you guys check if you extractet the catalyst file to the default directory it is like this:

C:\ATI\SUPPORT\WXP-W2k....\....

Apparantly some people didn't have a support folder.

Let me know what yours says,

Thanks!

Sleeque · Nov 18, 2003, 01:45 PM

Same problem here.

OS =XP PRO
Video= ATI Mobility 9000 64MB

Downloaded drivers = http://www2.ati.com/drivers/wxp-w2k-...09437c-efg.exe

Extraction folder=c:\ATI\SUPPORT\WXP-W2K...\...
DHModtool version = 1.4
Error message= "directory does not contain the correct files".

Bye..

patje · Nov 18, 2003, 02:55 PM

Sleeque, thanks for the feedback,

first, do you know you are downloading an older version of the catalyst file ? make sure you get version 3.8 or 3.9
Second, I don't understand it but i downloaded the file u used and extracted it and started the modder, selected the C:\ati folder and pressed start and guess what, worked like a charm.
Maybe the modtool got messed up during download. can you re-download the file to make sure it's ok.

thanks

Sleeque · Nov 18, 2003, 10:06 PM

OH .. My bad!! Didn' check the catalyst version. Sorry about that.

It really is puzzling .. i did the same thing extracted the file used c:\ATI pressed start .. and i got the error i mentioned.
Will try new drivers tomorrow and I'll let you know. And I'll also try another download of Mod tool.

Tnx for replying.
Bye

Sleeque · Nov 18, 2003, 10:26 PM

OK ..
more feedback ..
Couldn't wait till tomorrow.

Now .. I dowloaded newest drivers from ATI's homepage .. supposed to be 3.9 (whole package)
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/wxp-w2k-...8m-011774c.exe

and

http://www2.ati.com/drivers/wxp-w2k-...8m-011774c.exe (drivers only)

This time i'm using win2k.. ang get the following error:

run-time error 'some nombers'

Automation error
The specified module could not be found.

Could an antivirus program be affecting this modding or something? ..

It really is weird.

Will try more tomorrow. Let's wait and see what happens.

Tnx again..
cheers

Sleeque · Nov 19, 2003, 07:14 AM

I'll be DAMNED ..

Hmm.. extracted files on my XP notebook. Applied mod ... and guess what ..
IT WORKED!! This time it actually worked.

Well.. i guess my problems are over now.

Petje .. TNX A LOT..
Keep up the good work.

bye

patje · Nov 19, 2003, 08:58 AM

That's great!

Now i'm still looking for a way to get rid of the most bug's that are still in there. thanks for the feedback

Sleeque · Nov 19, 2003, 10:55 AM

BUT..

I coulnd't install anyway.. no hardware found or. something.

patje · Nov 19, 2003, 11:23 AM

TRy updating the driver trough the device manager, choose update driver, specify the a location, browse to the C:\ati\support\....\driver\something
folder and choose the inf files.
That should allow you to install the driver.

Sleeque · Nov 19, 2003, 12:36 PM

Tried that .. didn't work .. only thing i haven't tried yet is to remove all the drivers, delete the hardware from HW profiles and do a "Clean install".

Will keep you informed.
bye

Sleeque · Nov 19, 2003, 01:17 PM

OK.. Here's the latest news.

So i deleted all the drivers/control panel/graphics card.
Rebooted the machine.
Went to Hw manager and installed drivers from modded installation.

So it works.. but still needs testing for crashes.

Skillz · Dec 1, 2003, 07:49 PM

Does anybody have an older version available?

I want to to some tests on my notebook (Mobility 7500)
between the Cat 3.4's and 3.9's and see wich ones perform
better on my notebook.

The new ModTool doesn't work on Omega's 3.4's...

Samir · Dec 1, 2003, 10:11 PM

Skillz:

I've got 1.1 1.2 & 1.3...

keeping them just for old driver versions...

The_Neon_Cowboy · Dec 1, 2003, 10:18 PM

skillz check your pm's for links to all versions

Skillz · Dec 2, 2003, 11:52 AM

Thx Neon, Got the older versions. Now to do some benching :-)

Skillz · Dec 3, 2003, 12:41 PM

For who want's to know... On my system (see sig), the Omega's 2.4.96c perform best

White Ronin · Dec 11, 2003, 01:50 AM

I d/l'd the Catalyst 3.9 and used the newest version of the MM, and I get this message when trying to install.

"Setup was unable to find components that can be installed on your current hardware or software configuration. Please make sure you have the required hardware or software."

Any ideas/solutions?

Yes,

I think you are trying to run the setup.exe from the main dir. search for a "driver" folder under C:\ati... run the setup from there.
Next version of MM will make it a litlle more clear.

Regards,

Patje
