There are two way to softmod your 9500:
use the rivatuner 2.0 + 9700 softpatch (download)

This patch DID NOT WORK on the connect3D card.

Installation of SoftR9700 with Rivatuner:

Select Power User
Click on the Open Patch Script button
Browse to: /PatchScripts/ATI/SoftR9700/
Open and execute the scipt, You MUST agree to the license!
Hit continue and point the script towards thge spot where ati2mtag.sys is located(usually /Windows/system32/drivers/ and patch it.

Restart and start benchmarking
SoftR9700 only works with only 2K/XP, if you have a Win 9x/ME system the download the patch we released! For those those who cannot install SoftR9700!
Don"t try to patch the file in %windir%system32drivers if you"ve digitally signed driver installed and you don´t know what is Windows file protection and how to avoid it. OS tacks changes you"ve made in any digitally signed file and automatically replaces it with the original one if you´re trying to replace/patch it on the fly. I bet that it was exactly what you did.
The more correct way is the patch driver _before_ installing it, it will work for sure.

use wizzard´s patched drivers (download)

This patch DID WORK work on the connect3D card!


Put the hacked driver file into the directory "2KXP_INFBX_xxx" where the driver installer expanded the files to.
Rename it to ati2mtag.sys
Delete the "ati2mtag.sy_" file.
Then update your Display Adapter drivers via Device Manager...
Right-click on "Radeon 9700/9500 SERIES"...
Update Driver...
Install from a list...
Don"t search. I will choose the driver...
Click "Have Disk" and navigate to the "2KXP_INF" driver directory...
Click "Finish", then reboot
Run 3DMark fillrate tests - expect around 2500 in multitexture fillrate if it worked.
