Ca$h, check his post above to see that your test method is the same as his. He is using the Demo with the Turbine map. The comparisons are not entirely valid if you are using the r…

See, thats still screwed up. I have a gamewizard voodoo2. which is faster than ATI crap.. My hd is 5400, but that shouldnt impact perf much. VM is off, although I here if yo…

For the sake of the original topic i have moved the Gamewizard FPS stuff to the Mac Games forum. Speed

Hello, I am curious. Is there any cd-rw or cd-r which can replace the atapi matshita cd-dvd-rom drive in an iMac slotloading machine. Or must I cut the Imac case? I also wouldn't…

Don't know about replacing the dvd drive, but there are people out there who just bought really long IDE/power extension cables and ran the ribbon out the side of their case (using…

This may not be helpful to you yet, but Toshiba has recently released a CDRW/DVD-ROM combo drive. Unfortunately, it's PC-only and not slot-loading. However, according to their we…

Hi, I knew of the existance of the cd-rw/dvd combo of toshiba. Appearantly Steve must have contacted toshiba to tell them about my idea I posted on the apple imac support pages, a…

Very impressive research! Gee, a slot-loading cdrw/dvd would be a great drive to put in all of Apple's desktop machines. I hope they do it.

thanks..... Now only hope and wait .. (but not to long)

I too took the plunge (or risk) but too my great joy everything went fine and it seems that I too now have a RPC-1 (region free) drive. Three cheers for XVI.

What is the best way to spread the word about this very, very helpful DVD crack in the Mac community? I don't think that the major sites can report on it due to legal issues... An…

Well,... I installed the new firmware and now everytime I insert a DVD and it is being mounted in the Finder, my system freezes. :-( Though, CDs still run well. Anyone can help??

Peter Pan, in order to help you, more information would be helpful: MacOS 9.0.4?, DVD player 2.2?, previous region code? etc.

Those of you who have it working, are you using just the firmware hack or the "Codefree DVD Player" as well?

P....I have used just the firmware hack. I still get the message that I only have "X" number of changes left when I stick in a different region DVD but the number of changes stays …

the procedure AusRob described is exactly what I am using. It works flawlessly. No need for a code free DVD player software. Cheers!

I just updated my DVSe fimrware with this update. After the first restart it gave me a heart attack, since it wouldn't recognise anything in the DVD/CD drive at all. A restart lat…
