Hello DieBuche,

I have tried to hex edit to rom using, NiBitor, but no luck :(

Could you help me patch my NVIDIA rom for 9600GT. I am trying to get the 1920X1080 during the Chameleon boot screen and the Apple splash screen. I am using a DELL U2312HM with a DVI connection.

Here's the ROM:

P.S.: I don't even know even if it is reading the new rom. Is there a way to know?

Hey
I read from a successful mod of the HD6850, but the tool from the first post isn't working for me and just shows the lenght but not the exact position of the resolutions.
Has somebody a solution? I tried different bios from different manufactures (XFX, Sapphire, Club3D, AMD, ...)

Greetings

Hey guys,

I have the same problem, with an HD 4850. I noticed the resolution did change, because during boot there were some lines that wouldn't fit in one line and now it does.
Besides, in case of any problem with my monitor, I believe it would be safer to have 800x600 mode. I guess it'd be better to replace another "less useful" resolution, perhaps 1152x864. How can I do that?

Edit: another reason, look what happened to my BIOS screen (previously, it was fullscreen, almost full, with the same black borders).

Edit2: I managed to replace 1600x1200 with 1920x1080, so BIOS went back to normal, but I still have those borders.

Well Guilherme, I don't know if DieBuche is still around. But it looks like that we are yet to find someone who could post screenshots of Chameleon boot screen which does not have the blackborders. Since you claimed that you were able to change the resolution, did you also try to set the resolution in the theme.plist file in your theme folder?

Okay, I've tried following the tutorial in the first post, but I just don't get it. :(

I'm running a 1GB ASUS GTX 460 with the stock BIOS, and I want to edit it it so that I can use 1920x1080x32@60Hz. When running the included program I get:

Quote

Attempting to open stock.rom
Length:60928
Found 1. possible NVIDIA mode at 0x418d(Decimal:16781)
Empty Table at 42ad(Decimal:17069)
Empty Table at 432d(Decimal:17197)
Empty Table at 436d(Decimal:17261)
Correct number of finds
Mod should be working

So I opened the .rom file in NiBiTor and went to the HexEdit function, then went to 0x418d and it was just 00 00 - I don't get what I'm trying to find here?

Also, how to I actually edit the file?

If anyone could give me quick step-by-step instructions on how to add a 1920x1080 VESA mode to my 460's BIOS, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks :)

I tried it with my 460 as well and it didn't work. The entry was there and I made a couple of edits but still no 1680x1050 on boot. Some say it doesn't work on nVidia cards if you use DVI but I had it working fine on my old 8800GT with DVI and I didn't have to make any rom edits.

What I don't get is what I even need to do to try it out. I figure that even if others aren't reporting success, it's worth having a go, but I'm just confused now about what I'm supposed to do. What tool should I actually be using to edit the hex in the BIOS?

EDIT: I figured out what to do, but after flashing it twice, it's still not working. :(

Yes, I changed the theme size as well. I believe it might be a BIOS limitation, because the BIOS screen and POST screen have the same borders, even before loading anything of any OS. Interesting to note, when I shut OS X down, there are a few lines on a black screen, but this time they fit the whole screen.

I didn't flash the rom back to the card. Just loaded it from Chameleon.

Oh, fair enough. I owned an 8800GT before the 460 as well, and I don't remember having this problem. I might just not have noticed it though.

It definitely wasn't there with the 8800GT, because I remember fixing it so the logo wasn't stretched. I think all I had to do was put the graphic mode in the chameleon plist (and possibly edit the theme res).

Ah, fair enough. It was a while ago that I used Snow Leopard with my 8800GT. So has anybody found any kind of fix for the GTX 460?
