Re:NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v4.4 software and your feedback? - 2008/08/23 06:41I am also waiting on the GeForce 9500M GS support, I can't really run any games on this notebook without the temp threshold lowered, since my fan will not boost until it's already throttling. There are also quite a bit of others looking for fan control online, and will soon realize it's impossible without a upgraded BIOS, since these manufacturers don't know what they're doing with their gaming rigs. I'll provide my original BIOS as soon as I figure out how to run nvFlash from an USB while booting from my Windows 98 disk. I've already tried but I'm having a little trouble...

We know, we know and for the moment you will have to wait like everyone until we release a new version and we will see to add the support. But as mentioned already several times it is always great to ask and ask and ask even more while we don't see much push or appreciation for all the time we have already invested in NiBiTor to provide all those tweak features. So if you really want to get faster support and updates there is just one thing to do and that is make sure that are time invested is well spend...

Re:NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v4.4 software and your feedback? - 2008/08/24 06:27I guess the video BIOS for my GPU the GeForce 9500M GS is a module within the system BIOS and not stored within it's own dedicated BIOS chip near the GPU itself, so I extracted the module from my main BIOS and here it is. I know this is probably not the typical configuration you're used to editing, and since I don't have the slightest clue about writing BIOS code I figured there's a slight chance you'll need my whole system BIOS to get it working for some reason.
I know you want some support as well. I promise I will try to come up with something, but right now I'm pretty hurting. I'm 26 and I still living and/or sponging off my parents and remain in a bedroom at their house. I'm pretty pathetic and this gaming laptop is the only thing I got. Too bad for me, I can't write BIOS to get this thing working the way I want. Anyways, your last post is well understood, and I won't expect this card to be supported in the next release.

Re:NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v4.4 software and your feedback? - 2008/08/24 12:28And npw we don't care what your situation is and it is not a personal note about the support but a general one as all do like to get and use NiBiTor but for the last 3-4 years the support and appreciation for it is almost nothing. Meaning why do so many download it and use and benifit but just don't care? Well it would be easy to do the same, not care about it neither.

Re:NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v4.4 software and your feedback? - 2008/08/25 05:47No I think you're just afraid to admit you can't handle notebook GPU systems that aren't MXM, because they're actual modules within the system and/or main BIOS and not their own dedicated thing, probably too dificult for you. Thanks for the comments though, I was just being honest and thought I would admit I don't have dick for cash. Why don't you consider the fact that there will be a lot of users who have the notebooks with this GPU, and that you would get a lot more hits, more advertising, means more money.

Re:NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v4.4 software and your feedback? - 2008/08/25 10:27You two are having, in my opinion, a pointless discussion. Makve, what you say is understandable, you want recognition for your work, who doesn't anyway? And you deserve it, NiBiTor is very nice and useful tool for anyone who actually cares about their graphics card, however I don't agree that user's that download it don't care. You're entitled to your opinion obviously but let me just share mine at least.
If I was in your position, I'd be happy with the simple fact that NiBiTor gets used and download at all, are you kidding me, I'd be thrilled that it's even so popular like it is, just it's usage should be enough. Don't be fooled for a second that your work is not appreciated just because you don't see many people saying anything, at most that's because you pobably did a good job and they have nothing to complain. Trust me, every time someone overclocks their card with NiBiTor or changes some setting and now their card works fine... They do care, a lot. But that's just my opinion.
And mcurran, did you even read what you wrote? I mean, first you do realise most of what you did so far was just oh I want that card support, me too, me too without nothing to show for it, which just by itself is useless and not productive at all. And trust me, calling someone chicken for not doing something, which is pretty much what you're doing and I'm laughing my ass off over it cause it's just too funny isn't gonna get anything done. Nor will your pity attempt, I say this because I find no other reason why you would share your story here, it doesnt help, it doesn't provide support or anything, it's not feedback and no one cares really.
What did you expect, him to feel sorry and just code a little for you at a rush so you can escape and play? Honestly if I shared all the misfortunes I've had with hardware just this year alone I'd probably manage him to dedicate the next version to me, but why would anyone care about that? Boy, that's just funny. Oh and sorry for the long post, I just had to comment on this one.

Excellent try and for your reference, we can just do it and we have done it already several times, but since you are so a child in playing we will let you wait and you can try elsewhere to be a mind manipulator. Sorry but we don't play games and next time don't try to reply or come with another trick as you not for away of getting removed from this thread.

Why don't you consider the fact that there will be a lot of users who have the notebooks with this GPU, and that you would get a lot more hits, more advertising, means more money. Yeah right, just for reference and you could have read that already, we are a non profit website, which means all money coming in goes to the dedicated hosting costs and the remaining is for development of tools. Guess what, we don't really make much really but you guys just think website, lots of visitors, lots of advertising hits? You know that most don't even click the ads and that means many visitors, not hits, no money. As said, you have your last chance to not being a pain on our forums if not I don't care. Just let us do what we do and don't question our policy. We had already enough kids around playing, we don't need that any more. Discussion closed!

Right on mate, this discussion is pointless that is for sure and your post is on spot, thanks for that. And the recognition is not so much for me but for the coder behind. As you know RaBiT is almost death due to lame guys who think all is free and somebody will just do it because they do. So I rest my case as I said discussion closed... Let's stay on focus and share the feedback.
