2k9 on cards that have shad 2.0> solution RELEASED

to those ppl who have a video cards that don't support shader 3.0, I have a solution on that ........

since I,m having a hard time running my old rigs, I'll just upload the application to use for palying games with shader 3.0 to video cards that have shader 2.0>>>>need some knowledgeable ppl to help on making this thing to work:wink:

intructions
step1 >> load the "exe" file of 2k9 on the application
step 2>> check "max. pixel shader 1.4" and "force low precision pixel shader"
step3>> under setting 'ANTI DETECT MODE' check "shaders"

to tell you the truth i'm not really sure which option to check so please experiment

step 4>> press the button '"RUN"

cj_miranda23, yah, thats great, try to use it with ultra high settings... could it happen?

then post your specs after testing. thanks!

okay...you already make me hoping...so don't let me down okay? =))


i just wanna taste the gameplay...the graphics come second, coz in lo-res settings you already got a great game...=))

Dont try to hard cuz it will really dissapoint you.. just buy a new vid card and your good to go

maybe you guys should just buy a new graphics card

Well, some enthusiasts got Bioshock to run on 2.0 shaders by rewriting all the 3.0 shaders to 2.0 ones, even though it didn't look perfect it was playable, but loading times were really long. I'm sure it's also possible with 2k9 if you can find the shader files and rewrite them.

maybe you guys should just buy a new graphics card

man, buying a new video is quite too expensive!

just bare with me plssss

i'm testing it with 3 different old rigs ok

1st
p4 3.76 Extreme Edition HT
9800
2gig

2nd
p4 3.2
9600
1gig

3rd
amd 64 x2 4000=2.1
1gig 800mhz
9600 pro

i'm just a kid so pls just pray for this to work

cj_miranda23, that cards doesnt support shader model 3.0?

yup I have a program that will force 2.0 shader to games that use pixel shader 3.0

I might just upload the program here for ppl to try ok bec I'm having a problem running these old systems

so wait

Hey if someone wants a video card that supports 3.0 I got a nvidia 8500gt to get rid of. I just ordered dual 9800s so I'm looking to pawn it of for cheap. Pm me if you want more info, if not its going to ebay.

guys, doe some1 have a radeon x1950 gt or xt for agp slot, i'm just interested what graphic settings do u have in game?

I don't know.. I have the game but as I expected I can't run it I install it.. And when i try to start it.. I don't see anything.. JUst black screen and the music form the game.. (And sometimes see "esc" and "3" ) that's all..

Do you guys know what is this problem? Maybe coz the video? I have ATi 9550 pro

GaZuN, your videocard doesn't support Shader Model 3.0.

yeah, man u should buy x1600++, i've got mine x1950gt 384 mb last year for 22 $!

I have my old rig here, a 5200fx, Ill change the pixel shader to 1.4(as you said, but wanna know why just its 1.4 can you make it exactly 2.0?) dont have my new rigs yet, Ill buy fresh rigs this coming November, can this tool restore the shaders to 3.0 if i have my rigs already?

hey, i wanted to know do i load the steam.exe file on step 1 since my nba2k9 pc is on the steam account?

ChillBally>>> YES

sorry guys, like what I said I'm not really sure which setting to check because I don't have a rig to test it so please just experiment about it okk

I,m 100% sure that these thing works bec. it was tested on ASSASSIN's CREED on the forum that I found

to those expert about video graphic, PDUB, JAO or anybody pls assist all the ppl here who need this software

sorry to bother you but i wanted to know how do you rewrite the shader files. where would you find the shader files on the game? is it under graphics? I tried the patch to change shader model or convert it using the patch but it didnt work. could you help me by giving me some directions that I can get the game to work?

Well, some enthusiasts got Bioshock to run on 2.0 shaders by rewriting all the 3.0 shaders to 2.0 ones, even though it didn't look perfect it was playable, but loading times were really long. I'm sure it's also possible with 2k9 if you can find the shader files and rewrite them.

I wouldn't know. The people who hacked Bioshock edited the shaders.spk, shaders.pcs and shaders.pcs10 files. Those files are not in nba 2k9. I am guessing that the shaders are embedded in the exe file.

BTW u need a vendorID and deviceID of the card U want to emulate

note: if ever this thing don't work, I really apologized for giving ppl some hope

I have an ATI Radeon X1300. Does it support Shader Model 3.0?

Btw, here's a pic. I have the problem when loading. I can edit players and do other things, but not the playing the game. Take a look one the background, there are something kind a like colorful boxes! SOMEBODY HELP!
