Modify Apple's DVD Player to run with Macsbug
|
This article originally appeared on resexcellence.com Modify Apple's DVD Player to run with Macsbug After touting the advantages of Macsbug, it appears that Apple's DVD Player 2.0 won't launch if the debugger is installed. This simple modification to the player application allows the two to exist harmoniously. We will use ResEdit to modify the data fork of the application, so you will need to download and install Forker 1.3. This small extension allows ResEdit to display the data fork. Once we have finished with the edit, you can disable Forker. If you don't have it already, download version 2.0 of Apple's DVD software and upgrade.
Open a copy of the Apple DVD Player. Open it with a double-click.
Type Command-F to bring up the Hex Find window. Type 88170000280000004182. To make that easier to read, here it is again with spaces: 8817 0000 2800 0000 4182. Remember, when you type it, NO SPACES.
The HEX should be found in row D148. Change it to: 3800 0000 9817 0000 4800. Make sure you type the correct number of characters! A good way to check is that 3880 will be at the start of the next row - D158. Save your work and quit ResEdit. The modified application is ready to use right away and will work fine with Macsbug!
