it’s fun because you can get the card for twice less, flash with simple osx application and enjoy.

Remember this ?

Recently tested 191.00 drivers: hdmi audio finaly works, clocks throtling seems to work properly again, except when hdmi tv connected or movie played – always in 3d mode

Still screen glitches (horizontal stripes, as you can see on video from that post) when driver changes clocks of vga card, same glitches exist in snow leopard.

Update : 190.62 drivers fixed noone of these issues

A little offtopic

I’m so tired of this shity nvidia drivers.

I have a laptop with nvidia card, g84 based, and I cant use any drivers newer than 182 series, because of three annoying bugs, which many users reported, but nvidia doesnt want to fix them.

here they are:

1) annoying screen flickering, you can see it in this short video:

2) gpu always uses highest clocks, sometime lowering for a second into low-3d clocks, never uses 2d clocks as it should, compare,  left – 190.38 drivers, right – 182.52 drivers

3) hdmi audio doesnt work, I can choose it in sound manager, I can see there it used, but no real sound output.

same attitude with all desktop drivers 185 186 190 and with mobile drivers 186.

Not going to buy anything nvidia anymore.

I wanna warn you guys to do not use find cli utlity on ntfs partitions mounted with paragon ntfs drivers.

It killed ntfs partittions for me (not once, on different hdds), latest paragon drivers seems to be buggy.

In OSX you just cant enter to Partition after find worked some time.

After I decompiled some dsdt(one of acpi tables), I found out how nvidia sli certification for x58 works

they set SLIC key to PCI bridge, and WMI1 device with WMMX method which returns SLIC key

here it is, i changed some numbers with *

Scope (\_SB.PCI0)
{
Name (SLIC, Buffer (0×9E)
{
“************Genuine NVIDIA Certified SLI Ready Motherboard for GIGABYTE GA EX58UD******-Copyright 2008 NVIDIA Corporation All Rights Reserved-************(R)”
})

IIRC some grub versions can replace acpi tables on the fly, at least dsdt on gigabytes is in rewriteable memory area.

Here is source for sixaxis-init app for osx,  based on source I found some time ago for linux.

connnect sixaxis to usb port, run sixaxis-init, if it found and initilized sixaxis gamepad – press PS button.

Now you can use ur sixaxis gamepad with apps which supports gamepads, like controllermate.

link to sources and binary http://rapidshare.de/files/40995008/driver.tar.bz2.html

Update: sixaxis in osx works with most cider games whichi normaly supports controllers, like nfs Mostwanted/Carbon

EDIT , libusb on vista can hurt system if it will work wrong way (e.g. all usb devices doesnt work), a way to fix it – boot safe mode and uninstall libusb., also sources at end of post

a lot of peoples have problems to get sixaxis working in vista64, i solved it for myself tonight.

before doing anything need to disable driver signature checking.

short instruction – download  libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.12.1.exe from  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78138&package_id=79216

open file properties, set compatible mode to winxp_sp2 for this .exe. (very important step)

now install  libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.12.1.exe then reboot.

after reboot u can check if this trick worked, in drivers list(driver properties or etc) for usb devices (e.g. usb hid) u will see libusb0.sys (or etc).

now connect your sixaxis to system via usb cable, run this application – http://rapidshare.de/files/40942846/sixaxis64.exe.html (it’s 32-bit app).

it will find sixaxis in list of usb devices and initialize it (if it shows usb devices list but no sixaxis – try another pc usb ports,  if it doesnt list any usb devices – then filtr installation went wrong).

now press PS button and u can calibrate this sixaxis gamepad in window’s control panel.

this way got  sixaxis to work in vista x64 sp1.

so steps is

1) downlaod libusb-win32-filter

2) run  it with compatible mode – windows xp sp2

3) install it, reboot

4) attach sixaxis gamepad, run sixaxis64.exe, press PS button i gamepad

5) if all was ok, now gamepad should work with windows.
