American Mcgee's Grimm IntelGM950

Hey all I'm trying to play American Mcgee's Grimm but whenever I start it
up the game says I need a render file. I asked the people over on gametap
and they said it wont work cause I need shader model 2. But the Intel
950 comes with shader model 2 and vertex shader 3. So is there a way
to tell the grimm.exe that the TnL is on the software and not the hardware?
Any help would be appreciated.

 

Oh some guy named rabbit found a way to modify the Mobile Intel 4 series
to work for the GMA950 series. But Im not good at modifying Inf files
so I cant get it to work. Maybe somebody else can and can send me the
modified inf file?

Heres the Post by some guy named rabbit

Its simple to modify. Download the “Mobile Intel 4 Series Drivers for Windows Vista” from intel. Then extract the “.exe” file, you can do it using winrar. Then move to Graphics folder. There you will notice a file called Igdlh.inf or in other words setup information fîle. Now, make sure the drivers ur downloading the file version is 15.9.8. Ok…now do exactly as I am telling you…

Copy the following coding as in its apporpriate places…

= Under [Intel.mfg] copy this

%iLPGD0% = i945G0, PCI\VEN8086&DEV2772

%iLPGD1% = i945G1, PCI\VEN8086&DEV2776

%iCLGD0% = i945GM0, PCI\VEN8086&DEV27A2

%iCLGD1% = i945GM1, PCI\VEN8086&DEV27A6

%iCLGE0% = i945GME0, PCI\VEN8086&DEV27AE

= Under General Installation Section copy this

iLPGD1 = “Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family”

iCLGD0 = “Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family”

iCLGD1 = “Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family”

iCLGE0 = “Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family”

There you go. Then just save the file again and close . Then run the setup.exe…During installation it will ask u wheather u wanna proceed with the installation or not. Just say yes…And one more thing when ur done installation. just open run and type “dxdiag”. You will notice that these drivers are actually WHQL DIGITAL SIGNED for GMA950. And also ur DDI Version will change to 10 from 9ex. If u need any assistance just scrap a msg and I will get back to you…Also the above coding can be used by any user of 945chipset. As I have modified the coding in a manner that all 945 chipsets will accept the driver for installation.

All the best guys……Hope u guys give me some credit for the hard work…

Enjoy ur self

 

Did you try the solution presented above?

There are new drivers BTW. I have moded the inf file so thay can be installed on GMA 950 - You can also add a game to the registry so It will use HW TnL (in your case grimm.exe) I have posted the solution here in the forums but nobody seams to care so here it is again

Good Luck
