Hey boys and girls, give it a try. A script should be able to generate a rom for 7750 7770 7850 7870 7950 7970 https://cloud.mail.ru/public/8c978735fc99/bundle.tar.bz2no framebuffer name change yet, so far testing ability to get bootscreen P.S. It is ONLY FOR MACPRO, hackint0sh doesn't need this, it will not make hackint0sh run a little bit betterP.P.S. needs java and python cat README: dump bios from your 77xx-79xx card and save it into this folder as cardname.rom find your 4 digit deviceid (if its 697a1002, then obviously you need only 697a, since 1002 is ATI vendor id (dont be stupid here, please) ) run script, replace 697a with your deviceid and cadname.rom with your actual original video bios file ./makerom.sh --efifile=7950mac.efi --romfile=efiromheader.rom --originalrom=cardname.rom --devid=697a WARNING, if you have uefi part in bios already (e.g. if its much larger than 65kb) then it will be overwritten with new efi part |

Surprise !!!
Don't say we never did anything for you guys.
BTW, here's the 7950 rom
It works on MOST 7950 and 7970 cards, but make 100% certain that you have backed up your original before flashing.
When flashed to a 7970 you lose some speed.

I'm shopping for a new video card, am I safe in assuming that if i buy a 7850 and run this script it'll give me a boot screen, and work in 10.8.3?

7870 a better bet,
good idea is to check the 7000 kext and see what device ids are in there
I think 7850 ISN'T

Rominator, can I use "Zeus" from Groths.org to flash my 7950 with your rom ? |

On my MacPro 5.1
I tried Nektas's script on my Powercolor 7950 rom, flashed the card with the rom issued by the script but no boot screen.
I flashed my card with Rominator rom (MAC7950.ROM). I have boot screen but link speed is 2.5 GT/s (instead of 5 GT/s)

Please attach the non-working rom so we can investigate |

The link to the script doesn't work for me. Maybe I'm just using the DL site wrong.

Looks like it started writing "000"s at 64512 then began the EFI at 65536 then quit after 346 bits.
Will pass word on to Netkas.
Did you keep full copy of original?
His script may not have been prepared for length of "80", I seem to recall that C's old rom maker had trouble with that length as well.
Does the one I posted work A-OK?

There is no EFI data in your file except EFI header so you could not get boot screen.
try this and post the result.
Thanks.

I actualy wrote java app that gets me right size  Maybe he need to chmod +x EfiCompress.macosx need to check that, that's why it called testing |

As I said, the one you posted works fine (Boot screen OK) but the link speed is 2.5 GT/s (instead of 5 GT/s). Here is the original rom. |
