Exactly as the title says, I have an Early 2009 MacBook that has the GeForce 9400m as the GPU. But everytime I try to download the drivers, no matter what I do, it leads to a crash, and sometimes even a non-recoverable bootloop.
I did try a patch that was posted in here by someone in 2021, they aren't in here anymore by the looks of things though. Any ideas as to what I could do to fix this issue?
For context, here is the patch in question:

This is indeed the fix! I forgot I even wrote this, but writing those in EFI Shell does actually boot the system with functioal GPU drivers, even with Windows 10.
Problem is, no matter what I do, I cannot get this to execute with startup.nsh, or any other auto-run file. It always fails.
For some odd reason it has to be inputted manually.
In my case, this is what I have to write, but obviously it might change depending on where your bootmgfw.efi file is.
mm 0010003E -PCI 8 mm 02000004 -PCI 7 fs0:\EFI\_Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
I'm going to flag this as "Solved" now but if anyone else runs into an issue with it please do tell!

This phrase worked perfect for me in Openshell:
mm 000010003E -PCI 8
mm 0002000004 -PCI 3
fs0:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
I read that in other Shells the format had to be different, like this:
mm 000010003E ;PCI :8
mm 0002000004 ;PCI :7
fs0:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
