Apple DVD Player

[darthnVader]

On systems that should support DVD Player under OS 9, it's not working.

Throws a 301 error, witch seems to be the kMinMachineError, but I have no clue what it is checking?
 
I tried to give my Mac the properties of a supported OS 9 machine, and the doesn't seem to work. Maybe it's checking the CPU speed and having trouble with that, but I don't think that would be it, as some OS 9 machines have CPU's over 1 Ghz.

Can someone with the FW800 MDD check and see if it's working on that Mac?

I have Apple DVD Player 2.7 working fine on my MDD 400 with Sonnet 2x1.8Ghz CPU.
To the best of my recollection, it also worked just fine originally with the stock 2x1.25Ghz.

That said, your error makes no sense. A Mac 301 error is "smCRCFail: CRC check failed for declaration data"
"kMinMachineError" is not a Macintosh error.
A CRC check is related to data integrity - Cyclic Redundancy Check

Are you trying to mount a protected game DVD or something?

That's not the Mac OS error, it's the DVD Player error, it's in one of it's internal recourses. It obviously has a minimum  system requirement check, and our hacked systems are failing it, but I can't figure what it is checking.

The Radeon 9200 can do DVD playback, and I'm 99% sure I have the drivers correct, must be something else.

I've had a go at this, but none of the functions that look promising seem to have any effect. I'll try again with fresh eyes later.

Actually, could someone please run this DVD Player on a working machine, then dump the end of the NanoKernel log?

I can run it on my Quicksilver, but how do a dump the NanoKernel log.

Do I just boot with one of the Mini Mac OS ROM's you made and dump a screen shot?

[ELN]

Use NKLogReader (posted here somewhere).

Or, in OF:

Code: [Select]

dev / 2000000 encode-int “ AAPL,debug” property mac-boot

on my Dual 1.25 FW800

DVD player works.

Option VIDEO_TS

Strange: the same disc in my Dual 867 FW400 using same method doesn't. No replies required

This is the NanoKernel log when running dvd2 on a Mac Os 9 "official supported" MDD with nVidia Ti 4600 video card:

Thanks MacTron.

This is the first C++ app that I've disassembled, and the first PowerPlant one to boot. There are plenty of debug symbols, but I think that C++ function virtualisation is obscuring function calls.

Give this one a go?

(For those who might be interested: I have moved the first PEF in the data fork to the ecod 0 resource, and adjusted the cfrg resource accordingly. This makes patches easier to apply with patchpef's resource path format: "dvd2.app//ecod/0".)

CuBase Audio engine throws a similar error and will not load with Internal Sound ASIO driver, so it is also checking something with the sound properties, this then "locks" the entire system at the loading logo. and a hard reset must be done

Thanks MacTron. But is that from a working machine? There seem to be some lines missing!

This log is from a "previously unsupported" eMac 1.25, where DVD player don't work.

There seem to be some lines missing!

OK, this is the full log:

Happy to report Dvd Player 2.7 works great, except for the popping sound - I remember when I had OS 9 like everyone else in 2000-2001 we had to deal with it, I thought a patch came out to fix the popping sound ?

Sadly, so far iTunes 2.0.4 does not work - can't even listen to a simple radio station - has to be a way to re-bind and or re-connect to the servers. Quicktime works, no channels, but works.

So no one knows why when a dvd is played a popping noise happens ? It was well documented somewhere on the Net back in 2000-2001 by xlr8yourmac.com ? Any fix for this ? Apple DVD Player 2.7
