Hallo Guys i hoppe you can help me to make a dump of the Quadro Rom ... her is a guide to use it.

open terminal, do a "kextload" of the kext.

Then run nvflash followed by "-iv" and it will give information

followed by "-b macquad4.rom" it will save the ROM to that file.

Must be only Nvidia card in for that to work.

Thx for work a help

Makiver already tried to explain it to me in a private mail and it also made no sense. Sorry dude, don't mind helping but figured it out.

And sorry i'm not going to figure out a website, zeus site is a mess... they all are. And yeah I know, for YOu it is so simple etc. etc.
 
If you struggle to figure out the Zeus website, I question what you're doing with a Mac Pro.
 
Zues tells me it can't find an Nvidia adapter. No time for messing around with NVflash to dump it, even though I know it's possible (using NVFlash on Mac pro means making all kinds of boot CD's and such)
 
Hi guys! I have a Quadro 4000 for PC card that I want to flash it's ROM and make it a Mac Card. Trouble is, I need a copy of the Quadro 4000 ROM for Mac. Does anyone know where I can obtain one? Download it perhaps? - Thanks!
 
Thank you for the direction, however I find these are PC ROMs. The Quadro 4000s Mac ROM does not appear to be listed. I appreciate your help though!
There is some not MVC but Apple/NV-Retail MacEFI Rom available for download at the lower end of this site.

But, as mentioned before, do not expect too much of this card.

Wahooo . . . this time, thanks to you, I've hit pay dirt. I intend to use this gfx card with High Sierra. So far, not figuring to go any higher. Thank you again for your time and your consideration, and your smarts! Wahoooo!! - Gary

Search for "Unverified Uploads". You'll find more than hundred ROMs for Q4000, a few are Mac-dumps; plz see the comment and VBIOS-size, e.g. "NVIDIA Quadro 4000 Mac Edition". VBIOS-size for mac-version is ALWAYS greater than 62KB, about 168KB.
