DriverPack Graphics A\A1 is a nightmare for pathlengths since the %SourceDisksNames% calls for a specific folder name. The folder structure is kept to a minimum but can be hacked smaller.

You just showed that it is in there. 
See, you don't really need the &subsys code unless you want a specific branding (like I did with SamLab's entries).
You also didn't say if you tried it or not. 
We really need testers!
I can add it if you really want it branded HD3470 instead of HD3400 series.

G_A is at 8.09rc2. Final stretch!
Catalyst 8.9 is rock solid. Looks like Nvidia 177.98 will be in the final (unless they pull a rabbit out of their hat).
I have some pruning to do in N1\ to remove legacy hardware which BSOD on the new drivers.

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter (353 replies, posted in Software)
I think it was something I did.
I copied all the DriverPacks to C:\D\
When I ran the tool, I typed out C:\D (instead of the default C:\D\M)
Clicked Export to "Excel", then clicked "Start". Insta-crash.
Hasn't happened since though. Good work.

Welcome to the team!
v3.0.5 worked great the first time.
Crashed the second (and subsequent times) with "line -1" error.
I'll reboot and check again.

Re: Automating DriverPack integration? (10 replies, posted in Other)
The new beta of RVMI 1.5.4b5 fixes the winnt32 setups (setup.exe executed from within a running Windows (2000 or XP) install.
It's not public yet that I know of, but should be released soon.
I don't use DP Base in API mode (AutoImage is being fixed to incorporate new Base changes). I'll give it a whirl in RVMI and report back. As far as I know, no API changes were made.

Can you post your HWID? Use the link in my signature.
You also need to let us know which DriverPacks you used (and which versions).

Re: Are you frustrated waiting for the DP release? (32 replies, posted in Other)
This just to clarify for all of you reading this post on the direction the DriverPacks have taken.
We do not have a release schedule.
Sometimes we release DriverPacks each month, sometimes several times per month if the situation warrants. Other times we will not release a dp for several months if we cannot make it stable.
Stability of all the DriverPacks is our primary goal. There's no point in having the latest & greatest if your system crashes because of it.
Having said that, we have some new members on the DriverPacks Testing Team, and we are hard at work for your benefit to release DriverPacks as soon as they are ready.

Yup. I knew all about their nvidia tool. I don't use it though. I tried it out briefly. It needs work.

Re: Self Signing Drivers (6 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
I don't need it. It's more trouble than it's worth. Just disable the requirement for driver-signing and you're set.
In Vista, that's a different matter altogether. Driver-signing is required.

Re: Self Signing Drivers (6 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
I knew about the inf2cat tool. It's used by the DriverHeaven Mobility Modder tool.
From what I understand, Catalog (.cat) file creation is not all that difficult with the right tools. Windows will still complain about drivers that are not signed with a certificate that it can recognize.
But WHQL-certificate driver signing is the holy grail of driver development and costs $$$.

Re: BSOD with nightly DP_Sound_A_wnt5_x86-32_809rc1.7z (11 replies, posted in DriverPack Sound)
@neogator
Just be advised that the nightly builds are NOT final. There may be (and frequently are) bugs in the DriverPacks that may cause serious problems. They are for testing purposes only.
Normally, the nightly downloads (and testing forums) are restricted to those on the Testing Team.
With that in mind, please report back with your hardware IDs and how the nightlies worked on your system.
Welcome to DriverPacks!

more testing with S_A 809 rc2
The one constant is that if I integrate older soundA packs, no BSOD. If I integrate any of the soundA 8.09 packs (including rc2), BSOD.
OK, so you're saying the only problem you have is in VM? What about real hardware?
In VirtualBox (v2.02 is out now), what do you have your audio settings as?
Null Audio Driver
Windows DirectSound
And what about the sub-options?
ICH AC97
Soundblaster16
Also, what about your host machine (real) hardware? Do you have Realtek or Via sound controller?
I'm more concerned with weeding out real hardware bugs, but I'll dig around to fix virtual bugs too if I can.
I've been using VB with Windows DirectSound-->ICH AC97 with zero problems.

Glad to help!
When I get some free time, I'll sit down and write a tutorial on the DriverPacks Finisher .ini syntax and windows pathways. I learned a lot from Ricktendo64's video tutorials on how to make addons and entries.ini.

Re: problem with sigmatel high definition audio codec (7 replies, posted in DriverPack Sound)
Just making a 'Sound_C' dp isn't going to solve anything. When you integrate Sound A, B, & C you're still going to have issues.
When you say "latest DriverPacks", we need to know which versions. Do you mean nightly? Then version numbers are critical.
There was a Realtek "super-generic" HWID included in \R2 of Sound_A which is removed in the release candidate.

I can confirm \R1\ works great on my notebook.
Can anyone confirm the V*\ series updates work on Via hardware?
I'm going to start pruning the .infs to remove duplicate HWIDs. We may have one more test to run before final!
Wow, I can't believe how much x64 crap is in there!
