For Low-End Video Card

Are you a game addict? Ever wonder to boost them up? Take out that choppy graphics! Introducing Swift Shader V2.0.

Swift Shader Website

1. Copy d3d8.dll, d3d9.dll and swiftshader.ini from the temporary folder into the folder where the game's executables are located (usually in the installation directory, but if your installation directory is empty, check the subfolders inside; they usually are in the subfolder 'bin')

2. Open up swiftshader.ini with notepad or wordpad, and edit the options as needed. Here is a rundown of what options are there:

[Capabilities]
PixelShaderVersion=21 << - defines maximum pixel shader version, e.g. 21 = 2.1, 20 = 2.0, 10 = 1.0
VertexShaderVersion=21 << - defines maximum vertex shader version, e.g. 21 = 2.1, 20 = 2.0, 10 = 1.0
TextureMemory=512 << - defines texture memory, if games run too slow, try changing to 1024 (only if you have 1GB of RAM)

[Caches]
VertexRoutineCacheSize=1024 << - don't touch these
PixelRoutineCacheSize=1024 << - don't touch these
SetupRoutineCacheSize=1024 << - don't touch these
VertexCacheSize=64 << - if games run too slow, change it to 128, any higher will make the game even slower

[Quality]
TextureSampleQuality=1 << - don't touch it, lowering sample quality will not improve performance
MipmapQuality=0 << - it defaults at 0, so don't touch it
PerspectiveQuality=2 << - don't touch
TranscendentalPrecision=2 << - don't touch

[Processor]
ThreadCount=0 << - change to 2 if you have dual core, 4 for quad core, or leave it at 0 for single core CPUs
EnableSSE2=1 << - 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled, leave it enabled
EnableSSE3=1 << - 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled, leave it enabled
EnableSSSE3=1 << - 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled, leave it enabled

3. Run the game! If it's an old game, it should run smooth. If it's a newer game then issues may arise, usually unplayable. Test and Relax! Enjoy!

How to Put Background in your USB?

Ever wonder embedding a background image at your USB. That when you plug and open it you'll see the image as well as the files and folders save inside your USB. Here I will teach how to do it. It is easy as 1 2 3 but this code won't work on Windows Vista. Tested only in Windows XP.

Example (My USB)

Use this code:

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=127
ConfirmFileOp=0

[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image="your_picture.jpg"
IconArea_Text="0xFFFFFF"
VeBRA sources - don't delete the tag above, it's there for XXXXX purposes -
[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}={5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}

[{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}]
PersistMoniker=Folder.htt
PersistMonikerPreview=%WebDir%\folder.bmp


Paste this code in your notepad. See that bold letters? "your_picture.jpg" change that filename to the image you have chosen. Another thing is what if the folder of the file name is unreadable because of the color of the background image? Just change this area IconArea_Text="0xFFFFFF". Just search for the codes of each color, "0xFFFFFF" is the code for white.

After that just save it to desktop.ini in your desktop then copy it together with your chosen image in the root directory of your USB. Refresh it and PooF!!!. And if doesn't work just reconnect your USB.

Just make sure you have a copy of the desktop.ini in your USB incase if you want to change something in the codes. *Please put in a folder because once it is put in a root directory of your USB it will vanish and image will not appear.

*It also applies to any removable storage media.
