NAME
em8300-mc_ex -- for extracting microcodes from vxds
SYNOPSIS
em8300-mc_ex [FILE] [NAMEBASE]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the em8300-mc_ex command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
em8300-mc_ex is a program that is for extracting the microcode from
windows vxds. After running this program two or three microcode files
will be written to the current directory, the number depending on the
driver you have. The different microcode versions seem to be for different revisions of the cards. Currently, the only way to determine
which microcode is correct for your card is to try them all and pick
the one that works the best. Do not be alarmed if some of them do not
work at all.
OPTIONS
- FILE refers to the VXD file which comes with the Windows drivers
- and is found in the Windows\System folder. The file is usually called rmquasar.vxd (H+) or enc2dev.vxd (Creative Labs).
- NAMEBASE is the prefix of the saved microcode files.
