Hi nice people!

Could you confirm that an (Ati) Amd Radeon Hd 6570 works on W2k using a driver adapted by BlackWingCat?

What version would it be? The HD 6570 is cited in CX137814.inf of the adapted v12.4 driver there:

Shall I add the adapted KB829884-v3 found there:

Thank you!

Meanwhile I've received and tried an Hd 6570 on W2k with the v12.4 of the driver adapted by Bwc.

I used the hardware detection by Windows and showed it the folder where the cab file was expanded.

The driver installs. The Inf file cites the Hd 6570.

Results:

One game runs well, it's Colin McRae 2005. Performance improves over the GeForce 8600gt.

Three game: Ski Challenge, Maintainbike Challenge, Burning Gears, by the same editor (greentube) running the same engine, can't start as they complaint
AddVectoredExceptionHandler is missing in Kernel32.dll
Did I make something wrong? I have the original Kernel32.dll from W2k sp4.

The pivot capability is not included in Bwc's adaptation, I believe. I tried to install an older Catalyst from Ati for W2k to complement the driver, but it refuses to install on the Hd 6570, and I have no older Ati card. Is there a better way?

And: the Hd 7750 seems to use the same driver binary from Amd for Xp as the Hd 6570, so could Bwc's adaptation of v12.4 run on the Hd 7750 if just its Inf file is updated?

Thanks!

The other games don't run because they're not compatible with Win2k. They may work after fixing all the dependencies. AddVectoredExceptionHandler is present only in XP and above. It's also present in the unofficial kernel32.dll (at least in the one from WildBill).

As for the Control Center you can try to download the newest installer, extract it, go to "Packages\Apps\CCC" and install everything from there using the MSI installers.

Plz see its requirement.
AMD 12.4 for Widows 2000 requires extended kernel v17. (or wildbill's kernel)
