Ati Graphics Card Problems

I am having problems with my ati radeon card. Halo runs very slowly in Xeon, and only in software rendering. When i un-check software rendering in the graphics options and run halo's default.xbe, a window opens and displays a garbled mess then quickly closes. Back to the startup complete screen. In other words it just crashes when i try to load halo in direct3d mode.

I have downloaded new ati drivers, and copied the cache off my xbox.


is there a way to fix this

is ati not supported

system specs
-compaq laptop presario 2500
-1024mb of ram
-p4 2.66ghz
-60gb hd
-Ati radeon IGP 340M w/ 64mb mem

did you download the directx9.0b debug thingy? its suppose to make it work...

directx 9.0b

Yes i have downloaded the directx 9.0b debug version

laptop card

It is a laptop graffics card with shared memory and i am begining to think it is the problem. But i have had it working with other emulators, like the psx emulator.

well the psx is far from beeing as complex as the xbox....just take my card for exemple...its crap but its ok for psx and N64...but i cant play recent games with it. im not entirely sure but i really think its your card.

I guess this is the downside of having a laptop

got it last month 1600 bucks. iv been pretty happy with it.

its integrated graphics. There (erm, not very good). xeon requires a high power GFx card to work. Otherwise, software must be used.

ok thanks, iv had bf1942 woking on this at full speed and it says that the card it a radeon 9200 mobility

i have a direct x 8 card and i could runt the emulaor on software and later on hardware.

ok then it must be something other. Maybe a new release will fix the problem. Darn i thought my computer could do anything.

I have a Radeon 9500 and I can't run Xeon w/hardware acceleration using retail Direct3D runtime. (Even if you installed the debug version of DirectX, the retail runtime is probably still active.)

I've found out that going in the new ActiveX control panel icon, under the Direct3D tab, and selecting "Use debug version of Direct3D" allows me to run in hw mode. (Just remember to turn it back to Retail when you play some other games as the debug version is slower.)

Hope this helps.

Help

I think this might work zomby, but how do i get to this screen to change this option.


I might have to re-install directx debug


iv replaced the graffics drivers scence i installed it last

i used zomby's example and got it to work with hardware but it is really dark in the menu because it will not work without software vertex processing, is there any way to fix that...

thanx


-something about pixel shaders, but i know this card has programable shaders...
