Welcome to the first Unofficial GMA 500 Driver Support website for Windows!
This project started in August 2012 when I thought,for the first time, that informations about this GPU were fragmentary and available on too many forums with too many pages!
So finally I decided to upload all into one blog  where people could find easily and quickly news and optimized drivers.
From that day over 200.000+ visitors, from all over the world, saw the first GMA 500 blog for Windows. Thank you!
In this website you can find also all you need to make your GMA 500 faster and INTEL ATOM Tips.
I talk about many things that you can read on older pages as how to: improve fsb; improve ram,video players,windows,web performance;ect ect. So it's better that you read all the blog before write a comment! (27 posts aren't too much).
The driver available here is programmed by Official Intel Embedded Team and fixed by me for a perfect fit on US15 platform (small form factor of US15W: GMA500 Devices).
Actually my release is compatible with various devices but not all cause it's not possible to determinate all displays configurations (All stuff posted is tested by my trusted device ASUS 1101HA)

09 Jan 2021 Optimus IEMGD (Win 7,8,8.1,10) freeware ALPHA is out!
12 Jan 2021:
-Windows 7 doesn't handle XDDM driver (xp release) backlight anymore, don't know what's wrong with Microsoft in these years(no problem with WDDM but it is another control). I will not check it, it's an obsolete soc to have a look at Microsoft documents.Probably needed acpi fix
-Intel deleted Official Xp and Vista driver web page...now only avaiable win 7 version (error or not?). Intel.com US support can't help for an EOS soc 😂 anyway still avaiable Emgd and OEM releases
-Uploaded again VBIOS patched,software and ASUS 1101ha rom patched in Optimus IEMGD post
-Backuped EMGD suite
-Retested Windows 10 2021 but nothing relevant, use windows 7 home premium 32bit or lite editions
That's all folks!
-18 June 2021 Changing Google Host with Microsoft hosting. Reason: Google uses generic antivirus that can mark as malware Microsoft Visual Studio Projects 😂 I love Google High Quality Service. Remember use only professional antivirus👍

Note.If any problem occurs with the driver, uninstall it via Windows Safe Mode to restore Microsoft Default Video Driver

FAQ  (Frequently asked questions)
Is my device compatible?
The Driver works only with (US15) Poulsbo Platform devices and stock Intel GMA500(200Mhz)
N.B.It doesn't work with GMA600 due to the different platform! (probably need some patch in sys path but anyway I don't have any device with this hardware so if you want can send me a laptop for testing)
Can be incompatible with some devices because many displays have different configurations.
This is an incomplete list of confirmed working devices in Win 7\8\8.1\10:

  • Auto Configuration works on: Acer AO751H -Asus 1101HA - Asus 1201HA -Archos 9 PC Tablet - Dell Mini 1010 - Kohjinsha SX3 -MSI U115 - Nokia Booklet 3G-Viliv S5, Sony Vaio P VGN-P720K , Sony VGN-P29VN_Q,  ect ect. 
  • Other Inf function: Sony Vaio X, Fujitsu U820- U2010 and Asus T91MT/T91
  • Tablets\netbooks\notebook that requires CUSTOM Mode Compiling in IEMGD Add-on:Probably some of Sony Devices
Thanks to:
-Vladimir for 1024x600 profile for Asus T91 Series
-Deman   for 1024x768 profile for FSL 979 Winpad

Got black screen with IEMGD or Strange colors view? This mean that common settings are not compatible.
Uninstall it from (options):
A)Control Panel (if Windows shows desktop)
B)Start Windows in Safe Mode -> Control Panel
C)Windows Recovery Console
D)If you have windows 8\8.1\10 with fast boot enabled: restart manually after the windows login with black screen for 3 times. At the next boot will appear Windows Tool\Go do advanced Setting and select Restart in Safe Mode
Try to fix the problem by your own self:
  • If there are different profiles, in IEMGD Add-on, for your display max resolution try another one
  • If you know your display panel settings use  IEMGD Add-On Custom mode to create a new profile for the driver (please share working profiles!) [MORE info in IEMGD Editor SECTION]
  • If you are not good at computer simple check on Google  for another custom package (Googling: EMGD for YOURDEVICE) than share with us that driver!
ITA.In alcuni pc il driver non funziona correttamente (windows si avvia con schermo nero,colori psichedelici o schermo tremante). Questo problema è causato dal file igdlh32.inf . Normalmente, il driver richiede le informazioni specifiche all'hardware ma se l'EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) non è completo (poco importa se la marca del pc asus,acer o altro questo parametro dipende dal display che durante la produzione è stato inserito) vengono utilizzati i settaggi alternativi presenti che non possono garantire il funzionamento corretto su tutti i monitor.
Come potete risolvere? 
1)cercate su Google, o altro motore di ricerca, un driver IEMGD compatibile per il vostro device. In giro ci sono molti Publisher e se volete condividete con noi il file igdlh32.inf contenuto nella cartella LPCO.
2)Sviluppate una configurazione funzionante tramite Intel CED o tramite IEMGD Add-On. Come si fa? Scaricate AIDA64,leggete l'ID del monitor e poi cercate su Internet il datasheet del pannello. All'interno del file digitale troverete tutte le informazioni richieste.

Difference between WinXP\7 vs Win7\8\10 drivers:
WinXP\Vista\7 driver respects XPDM (XP Driver model),supports DXVA 1.0 (DirectX Video Acceleration) and has a better software rendering while Win7\8\8.1\10 ,WDDM 1.1,driver has full support to DVXA 2.0 and a better hardware rendering(reduce CPU usage).
Under Win 7, usually, is better to use a WDDM driver.
Note.On Asus devices, if you use XP driver in Windows 7, have to install SHE FiX to restore Power Saving profile (Mega Link: Download ; Mirror3: Download)

Difference between IEMGD and Intel Default drivers:
  • Intel Embedded Media & Graphics Driver has more apps\games compatibility, bugfixes, OpenGL 2.0 support and it is directly setted for highest performace (about +20% vs stock driver). 
  • Small fixes were added to make it: light,stable with US15 Platform.Furthermore my Win 7/8/10 custom package includes: the WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model)  1.1 driver; IEMGD Add-On, a fast way to generate custom profiles; multidevices support; AutoSupport for Windows 8/8.1/10; Fixes/workaround for minor bugs like incompatible MS Performance Test, unworking Attribute button, Display detection, Brightness Level Control; a fixed uninstaller,remove all exept OpenGL that will be always enabled, also if you downgrade to official intel driver.
  • IEMGD doesn't support downscaling (ex. allows to set 1024x600@1024x768), DPST (Display Power Savings Technology Policy available only when on Battery), ALS(ADB = Automatic Display Brightness Policy available only when on battery in devices with ambient light sensor). Anyway there is no significant battery usage.
Difference between my driver package vs stock embedded driver:
Compiled to work with more devices without download an heavy suite,reduced package size and fixed some problem(really more easy to install it).

Which is the best O.S. for Intel GMA 500?
Microsoft Windows 7 home premium 32bit with some fixes (read Windows SpeedUP)
It's still the best compromise between overall performance and driver features
You can also install an entry level SSD and upgrade RAM to 2GB 800MHz and use Optimus IEMGD

Which is the latest DirectX available for Intel GMA 500?
Hardware support it until DX9c or DX9L but you may install newer package for bugfixes.
DX9L ,called also DX9Ex, is available only for Windows Vista and Win 10 (it doesn't bring benefits to GPU)

Is possible to play 1080p video with Intel GMA 500?
Yes, it is possible with correct video player (see this post) and correct video codec.
GPU supports hardware decoding for H264, MPEG 2/4, VC1, WMV9

Is necessary vBios for install this driver?
No, it isn't. The Driver works correctly also without Embedded vBios (Beta).
Embedded Video Bios isn't compatible with Intel Official GMA 500 Driver and doesn't bring any benifit.
Other Informations about compiling it are avaiable HERE and IEMGD Editor Section
This operation is not suggested on laptop.

What is Mesa3D - Wrapper Package?
Include Software OpenGL for all pc (MESA3d), Glide Wrapper (an old game library), DirectX Wrapper (to OpenGL for newer PC), a backup of stock IEMGD 1.18 Opengl library usable also for GMA600

How to install the MESA3D OpenGL Software Accelerated: This solution is suggested only on Windows 8.x and 10 because the OS doesn't support Hardware OpenGL rendering. Anyway this method has a slow rendering but you will able you to run applications that require OpenGL > 1.1 (Stock Windows). Use Optimus IEMGD (this method will not require any modification to your system) or download Mesa3D - Wrappers Package.
-Unrar it, rename Mesa3D opengl32.dll and overwrite igdogl32.dll in c:\windows\system32 folder.
Note.When your app requires only max OpenGl 1.1 rename c:\windows\system32\igdogl32.dll to, for ex, igdogl32disable.dll,or use Optimus IEMGD option, because Microsoft stock opengl has better performance.

Why Intel GMA 500 is so slow in 3D Graphic?
It is a little bit complicated to say but essentially for GPU low clock,architecture and mostly a not perfect Intel driver.
This kind of platform was develop as MID (Mobile Internet Device): Internet and Media that is exactly what our devices do!
GPU clock seems to be editable only on US15W platform and only before System startup (Read Overclock Section, straps)

Intel Graphics Tool problems?: Upgrading from Official Intel to Embedded Driver without Uninstall the first one causes a wrong copy. Solution: Uninstall the Driver ,Restart pc and reinstall IEMGD
How to use External Monitor Settings: (By Default is setted Clone Mode)
MID = Internal Monitor | Monitor = External Monitor
Single Display= Only a monitor will stay active when video cable is plug-in
Dual Display Clone = Both Monitors show the same Image at the same Resolution and Refresh Rate
Extended Desktop = Each Monitor shows an Image (can be the same if you copy it in extended desktop) and have a proper editable Resolution and Refresh Rate.
For ex. You can see a video1 in MID monitor and a video2 in external Monitor
How to apply Display Color Correction:
Usually this operation is not required by default. MS Windows includes displays tools but take really more time and the results are not so different from stock configuration.
Anyway for "normal" users, that want to try this feature, I suggest to use Intel Tool Utility.
Values are display linked so it's impossible to know which is the best configuration for your monitor.
Stock values are Gamma 1.0, Brightness 0 and Contrast 50
Check if editing color settings there is a better view (in my case I reduced only All Gamma value to 0.8)

Bugs Report:
 
Note.Seems that Microsoft removed backlight control for xp driver (tested under win7 and Vista), editing hw registry will not change level (no problem for now with WDDM driver) so probably check Microsoft bugfix cause acpi and soc drivers will not solve the problem.

Windows XP
Inverted Backlight Control by Fn button after hibernation or sleep-mode (Minor Bug)
VGA enabled only booting OS with video cable plugged-in (Minor Bug)
Without official Microsoft updates is impossible to install it on a fresh clean OS (Support EOS)
Windows 7
No Backlight Control by Fn button after hibernation or Suspension (restart the driver or Optimus IEMGD). Has reported from Microsoft is a bug with acpi state
VGA port enabled only running Intel Graphic Tool or pressing Win+P
Windows 8
Random BSoD: Really suggested to upgrade OS or  install Windows 7/8.1/10
No Backlight Control by Fn button after hibernation or Suspension (restart the driver or Optimus IEMGD). Has reported from Microsoft is a bug with acpi state
VGA port enabled only running Intel Graphic Tool or pressing Win+P
Few random glitches: Minor Bug 
OpenGL Hardware Accelerated is not SUPPORTED (use MESA Software OpenGL)
Recent App display may returns BSoD (disable this feature from Windows bar\properties)

THANKS TO TESTERS! Custom Support is ENDED (no more upgrades).
If you are getting problems with lastest revision, write a comment, try old builds or google for another custom driver and share with us your working configuration.

GUIDE: IEMGD Add-On

IEMGD Add-On was develop to replace Intel CED on multipurpose devices.
It includes all basic functions to generate a compatible driver without download above 100MB package!
Let's introduce the features:
Program Startup: Open the ComboBox and select a setting
ComboBox:You can try to install a Common Display Profile selecting one of them in the list and then pressing OK button (will start windowed setup) or checking Fast Setup and then OK (will only showed the request to install unfirmed driver). Select your display MAX resolution!
NOTE. The common resolution profiles don't support all devices because each manufacter use different display panels. So if you tested the driver and it didn't work (black screen or alterated colours) you can use:
1) A profile develop from another publisher using Other INF function (for ex. you have find googling a IEMGD 1.16 compatible with your device but not 1.18.

Simply go into the LPCO folder in the compatible driver and select igdlh32.inf
Note. IEMGD Add-On  Other INF function doesn't patch the configuration file so in the OS maybe will be showed a IEMGD incorrect  version (but the driver will be always EMGD 1.18)
SHARE WITH US YOUR WORKING PROFILE!
2)Use CUSTOM profile (for advanced users):

CUSTOM: Here there are basic settings to support all displays
You can insert your display settings (look with AIDA64 your display ID and then look for display's datasheet on google) or you can edit Common resolution profiles (just select a profile and then CUSTOM)
All values are described in your display's datasheet except Intel Flags. (0x20000 should be compatible with many devices)
Note. Pixel Clock is the display Refresh Rate (by defaults all resolution profiles are at 60Hz)
CheckBox Disable Edid: this function will disable the reading of display properties so you will able to use a different configuration if your device has a complete EDID (read IEMGD Editor Section)
Import Video\Audio Port files: Intel Embedded Video Driver doesn't include HDMI audio support or maybe incompatible with your external video port. If your manufacter released a custom package you can download it and try to apply fix directly to IEMGD. Select only HDMI folder in your manufacter video driver package (Beta function: Setup can crash on error)
Manual Mode: this function open the configuration box. Here you can do a lot of things if you are an advanced user.
CheckBox Manual Mode: Apply your options in the textbox
For ex. After write the display configuration you can eliminate Intel Tool Startup directly deleting the register keys:
; igfxtray.exe execution on startup
;
HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run,IgfxTray,,%11%"\igfxtray.exe"
HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run,HotKeysCmds,,%11%"\hkcmd.exe"
HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run,IgfxExt,,%11%"\IgfxExt.exe /RegServer"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note for all users:
A)If you are a common user, before play with CUSTOM mode without knowledge and uselessly, use default resolution profiles (if the driver will work be happy! if not unistall from control panel or from windows safe mode\control panel)
B)If you have a working profile for a device not supported by my little tool, please attach it HERE (Probably will be Usefull for someone)

CONFIRMED DEVICE [Common Resolution Profiles]: (write a comment to add your device at this list)
Acer AO751H 
Asus 1101HA -1201HA
Archos 9 PC Tablet
Dell Mini 1010
Fujistu U820 - U2010
Kohjinsha SX3

Viliv S5 - S7 -X70
Sony Vaio P VGN-P720K ; VGN-P29VN_Q
Sony Vaio X, Fujitsu U820, Asus T91MT (USE Other INF Function)

Tablets\netbooks\notebook that requires CUSTOM Mode in IEMGD Add-on:
Probably most of Sony Devices: P series 
will not add any other profile!

Optimus IEMGD for Windows 7\8\8.1\10

Optimus IEMGD was develop to fix some bug of IEMGD on Windows >7 releases and get the maximum performance or reduce problems in newer OSs. The proof of concept is described down but essentially with this software solution (not a driver) you will takes the advantages of microsoft basic driver and IEMGD
-2020, Reloading project: I resumed my old pc for my garage's projects, unluckily I have lost 1.2.2 source code ,but not 1.2, so I will not rebuild some function( i mean language editor and refresh rate changer for gma500).
SetFSB is probably an Abandoware (website is down), and also RWeverything is not upgraded anymore from 2017 so I will include them into my project.
My tiny tool is now a little bit smart: it supports windows 32bit PCs not only US15 platform
Should also supports 64bit OS (not tested)

I'm not a good programmer but it seems to works so enjoy it :)

ChangeLog 2021 Version:
-Fixed Vsync partial error
-Added SetFsb (old version)
-Upgraded Mesa 3D Software library
-Added Run with elevated kernel priority (you can use also to run bat file for RwEverything OC)
-Removed many items from settings (editable via reg file or registry)
-Added SetFsb autorun option: On boot will be setted Super OC Profile
-Added Time and Date auto fix on boot: required wifi connection enabled
-Fake VRAM :  add HW and registry fix onfly
-Added Vertex Render external program
-Added DirectX control with external program
-Added TDR fix 
Not Tested enough and also only in Win7 so report bugs or wait fixes. 
Default settings include ASUS 1101HA parameters...post will be updated in few days for more infos!
Use  settings-windows-directx to edit DX settings: may return higher fsp disabling HW acceleration but also glitch (tested performance of Mafia under win 7 with disabled HW direct 3D and OC)

Alpha Release V3: DOWNLOAD - Mega Link

MIRROR2:  DOWNLOAD

Default Paramaters SetFSB OC for Asus 1101ha: (disabled only cpu multipler function):
Super 1587MHz min 10x multipler
High  1502MHz min 8x multipler
Normal 1333MHz stock multipler
Low 1201MHz max multipler 8x
Ultra low 790MHz with multipler  6x
Anyway you can edit them checking OS stability!
 
NOTE. FAKE Malware detection from Google Server, simply download it and check by yourself with a professional antivirus online\laptop if you are not sure. 

 
Status\Bugs: 
This tool works with dos commands and old vb code so it's not still optimized...really old project!
I will not upgrade it anymore if alpha is enough stable, my old asus is now in my garage, touchpad is not working and some keyboard's key are faulty.
Autorun partially fixed cause:
-schTasks doesn't support AC option (when battery is on...so useless for a laptop)
-Powershell 4.0 doesn't include Task scheduler module (from 2012) so command is different vs old 2.0 (Windows 7)
-registry is locked for security: HKLM-Software-Microsoft-Windows NT-CurrentVersion-Schedule-taskcache-tree (you can delete task but not modify path)
 So xml is the easiest way to support all win versions without adding more code (my way! ) but in alpha version need to edit path in xml file
-Probably  error check if c: doesn't have windows folder (don't worry)
-Probably error with 64bit OS cause tasks are stored in system32 (i didn't check if 64bit os use it)
-Brightness control doesn't work with software rendering:  Determinated, when video driver is disabled, the monitor.sys is turned off too by the system and it isn't restorable. The only way to change brightness is to renable hardware rendering, change brightness and then select software rendering (not a bug)
-OpenGL Selector doesn't work in Software Mode and will be only available Opengl 1.1 (not a bug)

What exactly can do Optimus IEMGD + Plugins:
-Switch between GPU rendering and CPU rendering turning off GPU (manual mode)
-Run an App with elevated cpu priority
-Switch Opengl between Intel Hardware and Mesa 3D Software Render
-Change CPU multipler (Intel speedstep need to be enabled, don't know if it works correctly also for AMD but i suppose. it's a microsoft configuration)
-Overclock CPU via SetFSB (maybe in future I will add some code for RwEverything for now only script via run function)
-Change Brightness Level
-Change Fan speed ( by default is supported only Asus eeepc command but anyway command is editable)
-Edit GMA500 V-RAM (set preallocated to 64MB and registry value to 256, this mode can fix some app problem)
-Change Intel Vertex Rendering Settings
-Change Avalon HW\SW rendering and Antialiasing
-Change generic V-sync configuration
-Autofix data and time on windows boot (for old laptop with dead battery). This function requires an internet connection on boot, so if your laptop doesn't have it will never works
-Launch Overclock on windows startup
-Change Directx rendering mode
-Set TDR values may avoid old gpu driver crash (value is 30 sec instead 5/2sec)

Credits:
1)RwEverything: http://rweverything.com/ (great software)
2)Intel Display Adatper Managment Tool: don't know official website or official name (intel gma x3100 management tool?).  Anyway it is a simple windows registry editor that write few settings (i have no volition to write more code so we will use it if we need it. i can remove this app in future and add code into my tool). I removed startup bug because it doesn't recognize Intel GPU without registry string "SPDIFVendorName: Intel"
3)SetFSB: no official website in 2020. It was an overclock utility for old pcs that use winring library
4)Directx.cpl : unknow author . Like Intel Display ect. it is a simple windows registry editor (i have no volition to write more code so we will use it if we need it, i can remove this app in future and add code into my tool)

First steps: 
Unrar archive, you will find Optimus.exe, readme and plugins folders.

1)Apply InstallSettings.reg (you can also edit some parameters if you don't have asus 1101ha)
2)Run SetFSB patch (in plugins folder) to know your code and apply in setfsb, if you need the program :D 
3)Edit autorun.xml with notepad (this is my fault). You have to write correct optimus path (down)
4)Run Optimus

 

Optimus.exe and plugins folder need to be always in the same location!


How it works:

1)Run Optimus IEMGD or Optimus.exe

2)Change Windows Option to make icon always in try icon


3)Select a function from tray icon: Using Software\Hardware you will enable or disable IEMGD


4)Run quickly Software Mesa 3D or Default (on win 7 default is 2.0 HW while in win 8\8.1\10 is 1.1 SW)

5)Change  your CPU Multipler and set a SetFSB profile (if it is enabled)

6)Change Brightness Level

7)Shortcut for basic tasks 

8)Fan Speed Control (with default settings only Asus devices)
9)Generic V-Sync Control (may not work with some app\gpu)
10)Others Windows Shortcuts with link to Intel Software and Directx control
 


Microsoft Avalon settings, App Autorun (you need to fix plugin xml with correct path in alpha version), TDR delay is a fix to avoid gpu crash if not responding after 5sec (here setted to 30sec), SetFSB autorun will speed up your pc at boot, Only CPU multipler function will disable setfsb in CPU manager function and so will be changed only cpu multipler. Run Elevated: 2 ways Win Mode or Dos Mode.

-Run Win mode by default is setted with high priority on kernel but if you use bat file will show prompt
-Run Dos mode by default will run at normal priority but will not show prompt. 
If you want you can elevate priority in registry adding string in HKCU\Software\OIEMGD\Path 1,2,3.
For ex first path is C:\testfan.bat (dos mode) and i want to change priority. Go to registry edit Path1 and add start /low(or belownormal,normal,abovenormal,high,realtime) C:\testfan.bat. 
This function can also be used to add parameters in certain apps\games to disable functions or not.

NOTE. CPU Multipler Select function:

 


NOTE:
-Software Function: Enable this feature when you need to surf on internet, write documents or other things that doesn't require the use of your GPU
-Hardware Function:Enable this feature when you need to play HD video in your video player and play some game that doesn't work with software rendering
-Check that your notebook supports your max display resolution with Microsoft Basic Video Driver
-CPU Multipler function requires Intel SpeedStep enabled from your system bios (usually all z5xx Atom have this function enabled by default)

HOW To SET ALTENATIVE PCs:
First get your GPU class and ID, you can get it several ways.
For ex. Download you video driver and unzip it. Go to the folder with many files and look for INF file. In Intel GPUs driver usually in LPCO  folder
Open it with any text reader, for ex.Notepad
Usually Inf has different gpu support but class is the same. If you don't know your GPU ID can google it or look in Control Panel\Device Manager\Video Card\your GPU\properties:
Other ways:
Prompt DOS: wmic path win32_VideoController get PnPdeviceID (if you are not sure check name)


Advanced Commands:
Cause the GUI should have less option I leave this to nerds.

These are editable DOS parameters for RWeverything or SetFSB (example Asus) [Check before function in program]
Here you can change Fan command & Intel program shortcut. Optional Performance OC (by default ,with setFSB, timer is setted to 5sec and no PCI Overclock for stability)

SetFSB Command Line Switch Options:
   -w : Wait [00-99 sec] default=10sec
   -s : Set FSB [000-999 MHz]
   -i : Increment(targetFSB > currentFSB) or Decrement(targetFSB < currentFSB) [00-99 MHz] default=max 
   -u : 0(default)=normal , 1=ultra
   -b : 0(default)=normal , 1=background
   -p : PCI-E [000-999 MHz] default=none
         FSB overclock[set PCI-E then increase FSB], FSB underclock[decrease FSB then set PCI-E]
   -q : Quiet [no GUI to be displayed at all]
   -cg[string] : Clock Generator default=none Maximum 15 characters

 Example: -w05 -s300 -cg[ICS9LPRS918BKL] -u1

Proof of the concept:

 

As many of you know, IEMGD and Windows newer releases are not so compatible and sometime overall performance are low.
Actually IEMGD bugs in Windows 8:
-Apps glitches
-Reduced HW rendering vs Windows 7
-No Hardware OpenGL
-Some crash

How we can try to resolve these problems, maintaining the "720p" support in video players?
The solution is real simple.I took it from NVIDIA Optimus project (i know it's not the same thing but the aim it's similar).
There is a driver that:
-Runs apps without glitches in startup
-Doesn't have any problem with restarting function
-Have a better 2D rendering (software)
-Doesn't have OpenGL hardware rendering
This driver is called "Microsoft Basic Display Driver"

Mixing these features in "Optimus IEMGD" concept we will get on win 8\8.1\10:
-720p Video support in video players -> Hardware Decoding
-1080p Video support about 20FPS fullscreen (not so smooth but enough speed)-> Hardware Decoding + Min Multipler X10 + PowerDVD11
-480p Adobe Flash support (15FPS Windowed Youtube Videos) ->Hardware Decoding
-Video Streaming support (usually less than 480p) ->Better with Hardware Decoding
-360p HTML5 support ->Software Decoding
-Normal Apps Startup -> Software Decoding
-Smooth Windows GUI for the best user experience ->Software Decoding
-Software OpenGL 1.1 and 3.3 ->Software Decoding
NOTE. Experience with 1366x768 display (better performance with lower resolutions)

Limit of Optimus IEMGD with GMA 500 and bugs:
-Lower performance in Windows 8\8.1\10 vs IEMGD on Windows 7 (newer Os use too much resoucerces for old GMA)
-No OpenGL Hardware accelerated...only software (need a good cpu!)
-Requires that your video bios supports your display max resolution* or in software mode you will get a lower resolution (see bios patch post)
-OpenGL HW render is  only compatible with IEMGD actived (HW rendering mode)
-Requires Admin's Rights
-Fan Manager should work only with Asus devices (if you know how to control your fan by RWeverything write down)
-Brightness mode can wrongly detect brightness level at first run. Reason: the tool doesn't integrate code for powerstatus so it can't know if you are in AC or DC mode (charging). It's not a problem cause it edit both profiles so if you set, for ex,  level 100% , it will set max brightness to AC and DC mode

*Note: verify that your video bios has your display resolution. (Asus 1101HA doesn't have 1366x768 and need fixed bios: look here).


Actual version: Optimus IEMGD 1.2 Alpha (09 Jan 2021)

ChangeLog :
Optimus IEMGD 1.2R alpha
After I lost the souce code of 1.2.2 version decided to reload version 1.2
-Freeware
-Removed\add some function (less is more)
-Only English
-Now it can supports other PC
-Minor GUI restyle
-Removed Intel try icon autorun. Reason: name change between GPU. To disable it use Intel software or msconfig. On GMA500 named igfxtray.exe + services: hkcmd (hot keys) and IgfxExt. 

Missing: (to remember myself what i can implement in future. TBD...so don't ask for it!)
-Temperature check for fan section. (thermal acpi zone is not returning correct value in my old device) and the usage of EC value will not work on other devices.
-Language editor
-FakeEdid support
-Minor Intel Driver settings customization
-Wmic fixes
-Auto detect GPU id and class: for now is in manual mode because i want to check what happen to the code with dual gpu
-Implement function of Directx external manager

Optimus IEMGD 1.2.2 [Abandoned, lost source code and no volition to rebuild it]
-Freeware (No more donations required)
-SourceCode upgrade
-DirectX and DirectDraw Options (software rasterizer)
-Initial display refresh changer support. Should work only on Win7, may damnage you hardware (usually displays work @60Hz so don't force over the range 50-65Hz)
-Language Editor

Optimus IEMGD 1.2.1 [09 Sept 2016]
-Internal Beta testing features
-Not Released for unstable functions

Optimus IEMGD 1.2 RC1 [10 Jan 2016]
