Rage3D MobileMod : Make your cards WORK with the latest drivers

d-force · Jun 22, 2003, 06:13 AM

I'm proud, together with Rage3D.com, to present the latest incarnation of MobileMod, codebase 3.0

I hope there'll be a news post on Rage3D front page soon, but oh well...

In this release, i have been working with beta testers to ensure quality.

Features/fixes:

- God damn finally got the INF mod algorithm fully working!
- Added support for IGP series
- New UI
- View benchmarks/info
- Download the latest Catalyst drivers
- Modification of setup INI (run setup instead of installing manually)
- New UI
- Rage3D endorsed tool!

And the application: MobileMod3.exe (0.98 MB)

Looks good. Consider it stickied.

tdd · Jun 23, 2003, 03:38 PM

Will this mod the Cat 3.5's? I have a 64MB M9000.

Thanks.

d-force · Jun 24, 2003, 02:10 AM

Of course it does!

tdd · Jun 24, 2003, 11:47 PM

Thanks.

nice job d-force, nice job indeed!

JohnM · Jun 26, 2003, 07:12 AM

I installed MobileMod & used it to install the latest Cat 3.5 drivers in my Sager 8700 laptop(128 meg Radeon 9000, P4 3.06, 1024 DDR etc.)

The drivers installed just fine, but everything looked very washed out & no settings I changed made much of a difference. I finally ghosted the HD back to the state it was in just before the Cat 3.5 install & it looks great again.

When I ran 3D Mark 2001 SE, the final result was almost exactly the same score as with the Sager drivers(7580)

I ran 3D Mark on a Dell 8500 laptop recently with a 64 meg GF4go video adapter & that scored almost 9500 points.

What do I need to do to improve the Sager score??

Hi there,
Just dropping by, but I was wondering, does this work with a Radeon IGP 320. For some reason my laptop did not come with a Radeon IGP 320M, I've been having trouble installing any drivers, even from the HP website.
If you'd like the info on my machine, I put a post on the Star Wars: Galaxies message boards (big help there

).

Thanks for the help!

d-force · Jul 1, 2003, 11:37 AM

To you with the Sager: Change your settings to 32-bit in Display Adapters... it defaults to 16-bit

To the IGP320M man: Of course it does support it

HandOfDragon · Jul 1, 2003, 11:55 AM

The tool is great

Thanks. However, I have problem using the modtool with FireGL series (most notably FireGL9000). Everytime I try to mod a Cat. driver and install it, it seem like the OpenGL control are gone. Just simply missing and it seem that OpenGL acceleration doesn't work either. This is most obvious when try to mod Cat 3.5 and install on my T40p (FireGL9000) and play NWN. The NWN load very slowly and seem like OpenGL acceleration doesn't exist. Do you have any solution to this?

d-force · Jul 1, 2003, 12:26 PM

You'll need the Catalyst 3.5 Hotfix from ATi which fixes OpenGL acceleration problems.

HandOfDragon · Jul 1, 2003, 01:08 PM

Actually, I already tried that but end up with the same result. It seem like the MobileMod only detect the card and install it as mobility radeon 9000 and doesn't install OpenGL part correctly. It is my pure guess based on several trial and errors.

Sorry, does not work!! I missing the Mobile Radeon 9600 mod

Hippo · Jul 1, 2003, 06:51 PM

i pressed the download drivers section and d/led the drivers but they are .exe, hut how do i get the .inf files....?

O1RudeBoy · Jul 1, 2003, 09:41 PM

i may just be ignorant, but i have no idea what this file does? doesn't the 3.5 driver set work for ALL Radeon family products already??? what exactly does this do?

i will be getting my new laptop in about 2 weeks and it has a 64MB Mobility Radeon 9200 in it. is this vid card also supported by this program and more importantly, what will/does it do?

thanks in advance, and if you dont feel like explaining what the program does, just point me in the right direction at least.

d-force · Jul 2, 2003, 12:07 AM

The Catalyst 3.5 set only supports the DESKTOP ATi chips, that's

Radeon 7000 to Radeon 9800.

You can use the tool with the 9200. Just install the 9000 driver. It makes no difference.

k, i just read ATi's mobility page and it says the drivers are customized because of the display.

the laptop i ordered is a Compaq X1000 with a 15.4" widescreen display, it does some pretty odd resolutions (max resolution on mine is 1680 x 1050 which is obviously not standard) will these resolutions be supported if i install the cat 3.5 set or should i not bother? thx~!

d-force · Jul 2, 2003, 12:45 AM

Mate, MobileMod 3.1 is scheduled to be released in a few weeks with full FireGL and 9200/9600 support.

Hippo · Jul 2, 2003, 01:55 AM

Why wont anyone answer my question....how do u install those .inf files w/mobilemod?....cause all they have on the website is .exe files..unless im missing something....

jeuda · Jul 2, 2003, 03:07 AM

suxors, just download those files (.exe) and then extract them to folders, use the mobilemod to mod them.

Mitchman · Jul 2, 2003, 08:08 AM

Does anyone know why the hell ATI doesn't just make these drivers usable for the mobility Radeons? Why not just put up a warning telling users that these drivers where intended for desktop use only, but the user may try these drivers at their own risk on their laptop. I mean what good is having a Radeon 9000 or 9600, if you can't even leach the power out of them cause all the drivers are so hard to get.

caleph · Jul 2, 2003, 08:51 AM

anyway this could work with OEM cards like the ATI Fire GL E1?

Thanks!

HandOfDragon · Jul 2, 2003, 10:05 AM

Thanks d-force

You rocks!

alecdy · Jul 2, 2003, 10:42 AM

i cant get the catalyst 3.5 to work with my ati radeon IGP 345M.. im using my desktop now but my presario notebook is loaded with the 345M

LoPoZ · Jul 2, 2003, 11:10 AM

i'm guessing these wont work with a ATi Rage LT Pro AGP 2X??

if not, what drivers should i use??

ssevennm · Jul 2, 2003, 04:51 PM

Where's the zip version of this? Does it really really need a setup?

Hippo · Jul 2, 2003, 07:52 PM

How do u extract them?...W/Win XP Home

d-force · Jul 3, 2003, 01:35 AM

Answer to SSEVENM:

I want a GUI for the setup also, and the ability to make shortcuts in start menu and desktop.

tonblom · Jul 6, 2003, 04:27 AM

I''ve a radeon mobillty with 16 Mb ram.
The latest working drivers are the 6218. I''ve trouble with t&l (no hw t&l) in almost any game with newer moded drivers. There must be a setting to force sw T&L or a setting to disable hw T&L. I''m not realy sure wath is the problem, maybe someone can help me out?

Chino · Jul 9, 2003, 02:55 PM
