Re: Looking to attempt GPU passthrough - Which card to get?
That is the address where the rom file will be loaded. You'd have to find out where yours should go. For initial boot you do not need to install the card drivers in Mac OS. The fcode on the card will contain a basic driver. Best, Cat_7 And how exactly do I find that out? I don't have the slightest ...

Re: Looking to attempt GPU passthrough - Which card to get?
Okay, so in the macrumors thread I linked to earlier, the OP mentions having to run these commands to get it to work: dev /pci ls dev /pci/@10 load hd:,\ppc\ragepci " /pci/@10" select-dev 400003f 1 byte-load boot I know that I need to run "dev /pci/@f" instead of "@10",...

Re: Looking to attempt GPU passthrough - Which card to get?
I just tested it on my SuperMicro X10SL7-F motherboard. It boots! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/450829637539463189/865754223475032074/2021-07-16T203659845854817-0400.png Let's see if I can get it working in a VM! Update at 21:52 PM: I think I've successfully gotten the passthrough part work...

Re: Looking to attempt GPU passthrough - Which card to get?
5 beeps means the system isn't detecting the GPU. Possibly someone already flashed it? I was under the impression that this was sold as a Mac card for Macs, and the seller listed it as tested working. I'd deduce that this Mac card simply doesn't want to play nice with my non-Apple PC. Do you guys t...

Re: Looking to attempt GPU passthrough - Which card to get?
Bad news. I just got the card today. I plugged it into two different motherboards. Each time, I didn't get any video and it beeped at me five times. I'm not sure this is going to work. You guys have any ideas? Maybe I could try one of those USB to PCI-E risesr. You know, the type that coin miners use.

Re: Arm faster for PPC emulation.
Another thing that might be worth considering is running QEMU on a Talos II or a Blackbird. For those who don't know, the Talos II and the Blackbird are workstations by Raptor Computing System that use IBM POWER9 CPUs. POWER9 is a distant relative of PowerPC, and apparently the two architectures are...

Re: Looking to attempt GPU passthrough - Which card to get?
Sound is now working for me with that special QEMU fork. Hopefully these changes will get merged upstream at some point.
As for the X1900 GT, it's expected to arrive on July 19th. I'll post an update here when it arrives.

Re: Looking to attempt GPU passthrough - Which card to get?
Hi, Audio support is only available when you build your own Qemu from this repository (and use the included openbios-ppc): https://github.com/mcayland/qemu/tree/screamer Best, Cat_7 Ah, thanks. I'm confident that I'm capable of compiling that for myself, and I'm hopeful that I'll be able to figure ...

Re: Looking to attempt GPU passthrough - Which card to get?
So, here are some of my options I'm considering so far: First of all, I can't seem to find an adaptor that allows AGP cards to connect to a PCI-E slot, so I'm limited to PCI. At least, that's what I thought at first. It turns out that the final revision of the PowerMac G5 had PCI-E slots, and that A...

Looking to attempt GPU passthrough - Which card to get?
Recently, I saw this post which showed a person using QEMU to pass a physical ATI Rage to a OS X 10.4 VM: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/qemu-system-ppc-vga-passthrough.2229861/ At first, my thought was "This is kind of pointless. QEMU already has the Rage 128 as an emulated device. Sure,...
