This utility was created by Dong for development purpose for Radeon driver.
I found that it can catch Video BIOS from NVidia and Intel graphics card as well.
Usage. Unpack it to desktop

In the folder you can find xxx.rom file that contain your VideoBIOS.
You can view it by HexEdit or dump to hex by BBEdit.

Upload, please, here your ROMs. It may be helpful for NVenabler development or other graphics solution.

Hi, this is my 9300m GS ROM from Asus N10J laptop.

just for fun and even though different roms are used on macs and pcs, i tried that one on my macbook just to see what's going to happen...

dmesg:


RadeonDump then of course says:


system:
- MacBookPro3,1
- GeForce 8600M GT

Please, please, please dump from Apple GMA950.... Pleeeeeeaseeeee!!!!

I doubt this tool will work with a mac.
It seems to read the shadowed ROM. Shadowed ROM means the BIOS made a copy of the ROM into the RAM at address 0xC0000 (not always, but almost) to allow faster access.
This is a pure PC feature and macs don't use that, that's why the tool will find nothing at this address.

Need help this my Video rom of NVIDIA GEFORCE 9600m gt from Toshiba Qosmio G50.I used with Chameleon with Videoom option still i cant get the built in display my display is Fullhd 18.4inch.
can any one give me the solution



Note rom extracted with ubuntu with ree command

I tried this utility, but unfortunately it does not work on Show Leopard, as it is 32-bit only.
I guess GPU-Z output is useful also?

I have same Geforce 9300m GS card, but in Sony Vaio z21vrn laptop.

It also has Intel 4500, but I'm unable to detect internal laptop display, and the reason is (may be) that Intel Graphics detects internal display in first priority..

I can launch VGA port with all QE in this nvidia card, but internal display is black.

Any ideas where it can be fixed in DSDT or may be other nvcap?

My BIOS NVIDIA ROM for Geforce 330m (006c 0a29).
In addition, I could have found something interesting: a second ROM for device 2A02:035C, the same as the one uploaded by Slice..
It should be the integrated Intel Graphics on new i5 CPUs. The interesting thing is that Intel Graphics doesn't show in lspci or in Windows 7 on my machine!
Another clue: new integrated GPUs are hidden on new MacBookPro6,x running linux too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1457188

So the question is: is it possible to enable Intel integrated graphics via DSDT patching?

PS: hi Slice, we don't meet since the old AGPGart saga!

Maybe I've found some further traces of the hidden integrated Intel graphics in DSDT, there is a Device (GFX0) out of the PCI branch.
It is not appearing anywhere in ioreg.

I send in attachment an archive containing 2 .dsl files:
- my full DSDT
- a code snippet containing the GFX0 Device

Does somebody understand if it is really the hidden integrated 8086:0046 Intel Graphics?

Hi toadspit! Glad to see you again.
What hardware are you use now?

I recommend you to play with my memory dumper if you still don't.

If you found 2 ROMs, it can basically mean 2 things :
- There are 2 GFX on your laptop
- The manufacturer has several versions of this laptop and uses an "universal BIOS" where the right ROM is picked according to Dev ID.

If you're sure that your CPU has built-in graphics, maybe it has been auto disabled by system BIOS because of additional GFX presence.

@ Slice and Krazubu: I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on a Toshiba Satellite A500-1EK. It mounts a CPU i5 430M and a Geforce 330M as the main GPU.
But on all the i-cores there is an integrated Intel HD GPU, that is the one of the second ROM (2A02:035C, the same filename as Slice's one, and Slice's GPU is a Intel X3100). It has been probably disabled by the manufacturer.
The question is: is it possible to enable it back? Hacking the BIOS? Modifying the DSDT? Actually, could there be some reason why it should not work together with the NVIDIA GPU, as in the MacBookPro5,x?
It is going to be an interesting question as the new i-core Intel GPUs spread.
Actually I don't know how to proceed. What if I add some code to my DSDT copying it from the MacBookPro6,2 DSDT?

Slice: cool your new memory dumper!

Yes, your chipset contains graphics.

But I am not sure it physically connected to output.

Starbuck,
If you wanna be my guinea pig, here's something for you : Trial with NVE

here is the vga dump from HP Mini 311, it is NVIDIA ION or 9400M

it is working with GraphicsEnabler, however there is no SpeedStep, in 10.6.4 the chip run at maximum all the time hence the reduced battery time.

i hope one day you guys could come out with something to help us, the Mini 311 users.

cheers

To enable speedstep try using NVE and add the NVPM string from some other mac using 9400

I can't get nvcap value with nvcap maker, someone can help me?

Attached is the dump from my Vostro 3500 (Core i5 plus Nvidia 310M).

My 3500 is one of the first gen. that does not have the Intel integrated graphics enabled, but just uses the Nvidia.

The Intel ROM could not be extracted so probably means it does not exist (not physically connected?).


Here is the Nvidia dump:

I figured I might throw in my video dump to see if we can find a solution for ATI 5650 cards..

Slice - I cannot get kextutil RadeonPCI.kext to work. Here's the output from that command line:

sh-3.2# kextutil RadeonPCI.kext
Warnings:
Executable does not contain code for architecture:
x86_64

Can't load RadeonPCI.kext - no code for running kernel's architecture.
Failed to load RadeonPCI.kext - (libkern/kext) requested architecture/executable not found.
sh-3.2#

I am running 10.6.8 on a Sony Vaio VGN-AR840E with nVidia 8600M GT 512 MB VRAM, and want to learn more about this computer. Only lack of QE/CI and LAN remain. Have been trying to get it 100% for over 1 year. Please help me to be able to get a ROM dump.

UPDATE - used arch=i386 in Chameleon at boot, system crashes when executing "kextutil RadeonPCI.kext". Rebooting with arch=i386, kernel panics. So, do not know how to use VBIOS to get ROM dump.

Dump your VGA BIOS with old nvFlash.exe
1. Make FreeDOS USB-stick
2. Copy nvFlash.exe to USB-stick
3. Boot from USB-stick
4. Backup your BIOS: nvFlash --save my8600mgt.rom

Can I get around it? Thanks

Edit: No problem got it going by restarting several times, not sure why. Also read tyhis a few posts up:

Lo and behold, I am using a real mac (macpro 1,1) oh well
