GeForce 9100M G support for DH Modder

thiago · Apr 4, 2009, 03:20 AM

Hello DH friends all over the world,

I'm a PC enthusiast and I've always loved DH.net bacause of all of the cool stuff you can learn about computer technology and also because of the great (free) software that I've found here that has been allowing me to stay up to date with the latest ATi driver releases (the DH ATi Mobility Modder) for my ASUS A8JP(ATi Mobility Radeon x1700) for over 2 years now. It's a super great tool that I'm sure helps millions all over the world as you read this. That's simply awesome.

I just recently bought a very inexpensive laptop ($350+tax), the Acer Aspire 4530 at my local Micro Center store.

It has a built in GPU, the Geforce 9100M G that supposedly has PhysX support.

I installed the official driver 179.48 and also PhysX 9.09.0203. PhysX seems to work, very slow increase in performance, but actually seems improve something when tested with the nVidia PhysX Fluids Demo (by turning HardWare PhysX ON and OFF in the demo and by watching the CPU load difference).
Although PhysX seems to work on this 9100M G chip, I've found no way to enable or disable PhysX under Nvidia's Control Panel (option that is found under my GTX 260's menu on my desktop PC).

Anyway, PhysX glitch aside,

I'd like to be able to mod the latest nVidia's drivers for my notebook computer (9100M G GPU) by using the DH nVidia Mobility Modder tool.

I hope someone out there can help me with this project or teach me how to make the necessary mods myself successfully.

Thank you and I hope there's someone out there that could help me get this done!

God bless you all,

Thiago

First up, welcome to the forums.

To make the necessary changes yourself can take some time to learn the ins and outs of what to do. To save yourself the aggravation I'd suggest letting someone else do it, and thankfully there is just such a place to get drivers that are already modded for you: laptopvideo2go.com. Every driver that comes out they have modded versions for which they have added laptop support into (edit: at least for Nvidia cards, that is.. guess I should have clarified that).

Unfortunately they haven't gotten the modded files ready for the latest beta drivers, version 185.66, but you can get the modded inf for the latest official drivers, version 182.50, from them HERE. Just download the official drivers, extract them somewhere, download the modded inf from that site into the folder you extracted the drivers to overwriting the original, and begin the setup/install. If you get lost just take a look at the Quick Install guide at the top of that page beside the inf link.

Edit (04-06-09): As of now they have put up the modded INF for beta Forceware 185.66 drivers, and you can get them HERE. See.. so much easier letting someone else do the work for you.
