How-to: Run Angry Birds on Archos 9 (GMA 500)
By Hash Moody | 3 Dec 11 | Tutorial
After seeing a huge number of posts all over the internet, I decided to launch this post on my blog, even on the official Rovio's website its showed up, that Angry Birds is not supported, here's their statement on GMA500:
I get the following error "Texture is too large 2048 x 2048, maximum
supported is 1024 x 1024".
Make sure the you have the latest display adapter drivers installed either
through Windows Update or hardware configuration. Please note that Angry Birds
requires OpenGL, which is not supported on GMA 500 graphics adapters.

There are a lots of IEGD drivers out there which lets you run the angry
birds, but in-turn, have no support for the backlight control of display &
no support for AERO, because they are not WDDM Compatible.
So, ladies & gentelmen, here I introduce my custom drivers for GMA500
Intel(R) Embedded Media and Graphics Driver, for Windows 7 OS only.
Highlights:
Version: 8.16.070.4600
Name: GMA500 Moody Edition (EMGD)
Supported GPU: GMA500
WDDM Support: Yes, WDDM 1.1
DirectX Support: Yes, DX10.1
OpenGL Support: Yes, OpenGL2.0
Shared Video Mem: 251MB
Windows 7 Aero Support: Yes, Perfect
DXVA/DXVA2 Hardware Acceleration: Yes, Perfect
Driver Base: 2048 GMA500 EMGD
Supported Resolutions: 800x600, 1024x600
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7 (Tested)
What took me into this was the cute Angry Birds, I liked it so much & wanted
to play it on the Archos 9 Tablet.
I tried several driver solutions out there, with no solution at all except of
tons of bloatware, had to format ultimately. The error I got when trying to run
Angry Birds was :
"Texture is too large 2048 x 2048, maximum supported is 1024 x 1024"
It was due to the drives provided by Intel, which didnt supported OpenGL.
Now my Archos 9 Tablet is loaded with my custom Moody GMA500 Drivers ;) runs
Aero, Angry Birds, 1080p HD videos & everything else fine, no-bugs known until
now.
If you'd like to download the drivers you're all welcome, just install my
drivers & you're good to go!
