I have a G3 equipped 9500 that I upgraded with the Apple DVD drive from my G4 tower. As a result I'm trying to get DVDs to play on this machine. I downloaded Apple's DVD player v2.7 installed the extensions using TomeViewer, and hacked the player using the hack. I get an error message when I start the player stating that the CD/DVD extension or the Module is missing. I'm not sure of the exact wording and I'm on another machine right now. I have OS 9.2.1 running on it (tried with 9.1 also). The video card is a Mac version ATI 7000 card. And the DVD drive is connected via a Sonnet ata66 card. In all other respects the DVD drive works perfectly, I even installed OS-X with it.
I've tried Zapping the PRAM, deleting prefs, rebuilding the desktop etc. All without success. Anybody get this particular combination to work? Or is there an extension I need that's not in the DVD player installer that is normally installed on a host machine that I'm overlooking?
The 9500 is using a Sonnet G3/400 chip and has 704mb of ram. And I've installed the Sonnet/Acard audio patch and firmware upgrade for the ATA card.
Try a search on your G4 machine's system folder for the extension or module needed. Then transfer it over.
