JediJoker7169 Awesome Registered: 11/16/07 Posts: 477	Can this be done feasibly by someone who on a scale of 1-10 in computer mechanics is a n00b? I'm looking for a little bit more performance out my PowerBook, especially when it comes to gaming. If only there were something akin to ATiccelerator, but alas, no one has written an nVIDIAccelerator. _________________________ Cheers! :-) - JediJoker Current: - "ProBook:" 15.4" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz - Mac Classic II - Old PowerBook Moved On: - "The Book of Power:" 12.1" PowerBook G4 Aluminum 1.33 GHz - Purple iMac

JediJoker7169 Awesome Registered: 11/16/07 Posts: 477	Unfortunately, there's no support for the Go5200 in Graphiccelerator... Yet. I emailed the developer with the ROM I dumped, and hopefully, he'll add support... Sometime... After all, it is the card (to my knowledge) that was used in all of the 12" PowerBook G4s. _________________________ Cheers! :-) - JediJoker Current: - "ProBook:" 15.4" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz - Mac Classic II - Old PowerBook Moved On: - "The Book of Power:" 12.1" PowerBook G4 Aluminum 1.33 GHz - Purple iMac

JediJoker7169 Awesome Registered: 11/16/07 Posts: 477	As it turns out, according to the developer, ROM dumping and flashing with built-in video cards doesn't work. It has something to do with the dumped ROMs always being "corrupted." _________________________ Cheers! :-) - JediJoker Current: - "ProBook:" 15.4" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz - Mac Classic II - Old PowerBook Moved On: - "The Book of Power:" 12.1" PowerBook G4 Aluminum 1.33 GHz - Purple iMac
