New ATOM-15 - now supports R9 380 and R9 380X cards

<< < (6/9) > >>

Hi buttersoft,

Are you completely sure the card is bricked?

Things I'd try:

- Boot with only a VGA cable plugged (to a SCART TV if possible to discard detection issues). I'm saying this because ATOM-15 will likely break digital outputs, in case you're checking this with an LCD through DP or HDMI.

- Check if your mobo has legacy bios boot options. ATOM-15 hooks code in the legacy bios portion of the rom. If pure UEFI bios boot is in action, that legacy code may be skipped. The problem here is that patching the bios will break its UEFI signature, and modern motherboards might refuse to boot due to security reasons.

I'm not seeing anything special in your bios file btw.

buttersoft:
Cheers as always, Calamity. I've tried a couple of different motherboards, neither of which is UEFI. I've also only got the VGA cable (to a DVI-I port) plugged in. I've tried it plugged into a PC CRT, and also to my arcade setups and also to an LCD.

Any chance you could mod the bios for me, Calamity, and post it up? I'll run a compare against the version on my end to check they are the same...

Otherwise, oh well. I have to admit that this is the first hurdle i've encoutered with Atom15 after it working successfully for about 7-8 previous cards.

Calamity:
Here you have.

EDIT: Wait, I've noticed something wrong in the patched bios...

buttersoft:
Hmm that looks different! I should have added, i'm hoping for 15kHz only but without composite sync... sorry i forgot to mention!

EDIT: hahha, ninja'd. I'll wait for you to post or update again :)

Calamity:
Sorry, this is the correct one. The other was using 1.5, you need 1.6 in order to patch the 380.
