Can't get Gigabyte GT240 - 1g working
« Thread Started on Jul 14, 2012, 8:52pm »

So....I'm working towards dual cards and think I've done all the steps to get a single card working.
I used nvflash.exe to export the ROM from my card. Fed that into NVCAP maker.
I got this for the NVCAP -> 0400000000000300040000000000000700000000

I then fed this into OSx86 tools and built the following in.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

</plist>

I turned this into hex and got
740200000100000001000000680200000d00000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000070101060000007fff04001e00000072006f006d002 d007200650076006900730069006f006e0000002d0000006e5669646961204765466f72636520475420323430204f70656e474c20456e67696e65205b 4546495d22000000400030002c006400650076006900630065005f00740079007000650000000b000000646973706c6179100000004e0056004300410 05000000022000000d38d34d34d34d34d34d37d34d38d34d34d34d34d34d34d3bd34d34d34d340e0000006e0061006d00650000000b00000064697370 6c617914000000400030002c006e0061006d0065000000120000004e5644412c446973706c61792d41100000006d006f00640065006c0000001900000 06e5669646961204765466f726365204754203234300e0000004e00560050004d00000020000000010000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000014000000400031002c006e0061006d0065000000120000004e5644412c446973706c61792d4220000000400031002c0063006f006d0 0700061007400690062006c00650000000e0000004e5644412c4e564d6163220000005600520041004d002c0074006f00740061006c00730069007a00 65000000080000000000004020000000400030002c0063006f006d00700061007400690062006c00650000000e0000004e5644412c4e564d616322000 000400031002c006400650076006900630065005f00740079007000650000000b000000646973706c61791c0000006400650076006900630065005f00 740079007000650000000f0000004e5644412c506172656e74

Then I put that into my

I turned off graphics enabler.

When I boot...I get a grey screen with the apple. I can login (blind)...but I get no change in video.

Help...please.
I'm at a loss.
