How to patch NVDI 5.x to run on the FireBee
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This patch was successfully applied to NVDI versions 5.00, 5.01 and 5.03.
|
|
Your FireTOS has to be from 27th of July 2011 or newer - all new FireBees
|
|
has newer TOS-versions already.
|
|
|
|
1. Start up your FireBee into FireTOS
|
|
|
|
2. Install NVDI 5.x. If you install it using the installation program you
|
|
must first use an other computer to copy all files *except* NEXTDISK
|
|
from both NVDI floppies to a SD-card/CF-card or USB-stick.
|
|
If you have an other computer with NVDI 5.x installed, you can also copy
|
|
this installation directly to your FireBee CF-card. If you do this, make
|
|
sure that you're not including any third-party graphics card drivers!
|
|
|
|
3. Rename all NVDI*.SYS Files to NVDI*.SYX. This means you have to go to the
|
|
folder C:/GEMSYS/ and rename the following files:
|
|
* NVDIDRV1.SYS
|
|
* NVDIDRV2.SYS
|
|
* NVDIDRV4.SYS
|
|
* NVDIDRV8.SYS
|
|
* NVDIDRVH.SYS
|
|
|
|
4. Start the patch-program NVDIPTCH.TTP. The desktop will now ask for
|
|
parameters - don't enter any (NVDIPTCH.TTP expects the following directories;
|
|
C:\AUTO\NVDI.PRG and C:\GEMSYS\OFF*.NOD ) except in the case where
|
|
your bootpartition isn't C:. If this is the case, enter the name of the
|
|
partition (e.g. "d:").
|
|
When you press ENTER, you will be asked to confirm each file to be
|
|
patched. Answer "Yes" ("y" -> "enter") to all of these (normally 14 files).
|
|
|
|
Now your patch is applied and you can leave the patch-program, the
|
|
patching itself is now finished.
|
|
|
|
5. Now use ColdBoot (SBOOT.PRG in the autofolder) to move nvdi.prg *before*
|
|
mint.prg. You can also sort the AUTO-folder manually. In any case NVDI
|
|
has to be before MiNT and after ColdBoot.
|
|
|
|
Now you can reboot and enjoy the power of NVDI on your FireBee :)
