algarues Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have an hp laptop with ATI mobility 4500 I cannto dump its rom with zGPU on windows and in snow leopard, with the commandline utility from Dong for ATI rom dumping I get a "permission denied" message even though the card is detected and I can see it enlisted with all of its features in the system profiler. Can anyone tell me how I could attempt a rom dump from linux? Alternatively, could I force somehow the rom dump on snow leopard? Thanks for any help Algarues Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/258338-ati-rom-dump-with-linux-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dime333 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I don't have Everest right here but, if i remember correctly, open Everest and right click on the status bar, click on Video debug and then on video bios dump Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/258338-ati-rom-dump-with-linux-question/#findComment-1693063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dime333 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Ati dump doesn't work with my mobility, that's why i suggested Everest (which worked fine for me...and for him) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/258338-ati-rom-dump-with-linux-question/#findComment-1694426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugz Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have dumped my video bios both ways and gotten a .rom that was 60kb instead of 64kb. I think this has to do with shared graphics. So dumb... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/258338-ati-rom-dump-with-linux-question/#findComment-1789258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
