It's mostly just the navigating the forums and such where the magical firmware bundles and binaries are hidden. I know *why* they can't really make it too *easy* to find this stuff, since technically copying these hacked firmware bundles pretty easily qualifies as piracy, but... eh. I'll chalk my difficulties down to "insufficient motivation".

I find that I have insufficient motivation if I must download a hacked card firmware, research whether it is reliable, find a PC of the proper era in which to flash it, etc.

If I can just download the original firmware for the Mac version, burn it to a chip of the proper capacity (so no "reduced" firmware necessary) and solder it down on a cheap video card, that does not trouble me.
