G3 Yosemite, DVD et OS X 10.1

[shralldam]

Quelqu'un m'avait demandé de lui expliquer la procédure pour pouvoir utiliser le lecteur DVD sous OS X 10.1 sur un G3 bleu et blanc avec une carte graphique PCI (Rage 128)... Voici ce que j'ai trouvé :

I have a B&W G3 with a PCI Radeon card and the original DVD-ROM drive. As I'm typing this a DVD movie is playing on it with OS X 10.1's DVD Player. Here's how I did it using an already unpacked copy of the player from a G4/AGP system.

I could find the Essentials.pax.pkg, but not a "Essentials.pkg.gz" file that was noted in a reader post below. Since I own several Macs that are "supported" by the 10.1 DVD player, I made a copy of the DVD player from a G4/AGP system here.

1. Running OS 9, I made a duplicate of the DVD Player.app - which makes it appear as a folder vs a file in OS 9. (Hexedit can't open the player.app "file").
2. Using Hexedit I opened the "DVD Player" file that's in the Contents/MacOS folder. I searched for the string "PowerMac2" to find the listing of "PowerMac2.1,.."
3. I changed the "2" in "PowerMac2.1" to "1" (i.e. now reading "PowerMac1.1") and saved the file.
[Note: A G4/PCI Yikes owner noted his ID was "PowerMac1,2"
For Beige G3 info - see this update.]
4. I then renamed the "DVD Player.app copy" folder to "DVD Player.app" and it "changes" back to a single file icon. I copied that file to the B&W G3's OS X 10.1 Applications folder


Voilà. Et si vous voulez récupérer l'application déjà modifiée, il suffit d'aller au lien suivant :

J'espère que ça dépannera ceux qui sont concernés par ce problème. Il paraît que ça marche même sur les Powerbooks G3.
