Changing board name from driver

SPiTFiRE_gr · Dec 11, 2005, 01:10 PM

Hello!

Well, some friends and me we decided to make a joke for another friend of us

We want to change his graphics card name so we could tell him that we bought him an X850XT as a present

I know that it's possible cause I use Softmoded Omega drivers for my 9800SE (btw, A big thanx to OmegaDrive)

Thanks for your help!

P.S. Sorry for my bad English

But can you tell what do I have to change exactly?

Search the driver inf file for the name of his card and replace each occurance with the name of the card you want to use, then reinstall the driver through device manager and pointing it to the inf.
