Thumbs up Good news DVD Player working again using Remote C.D. - 01-03-2011, 11:53 PM

You guys remeber that we used to be able to use MacBook Air SMBios.plist to make OS X that our Minis were MBAs and with 10.6.4 update we lost this ability. No DVD Player and other functions, then we tried with the MBA2,1's SMBios.plist but it had problems with speedstepping or even caused KP for some of us. But we the new MBA3,1 which have a similar CPU to our Minis', I guess it works! No KP, SpeedStepping seems to work like a charm! AND FULL SUPPORT FOR REMOTE CD and by that I mean DVD Player working again!

Here's the plist I used, I also was wondering if it was possible to change the computer icon.

here's the SMBios that I use,


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>SMfamily</key>
<string>MacBookAir</string>
<key>SMproductname</key>
<string>MacBookAir3,1</string>
<key>SMboardproduct</key>
<string></string>
<key>SMserial</key>
<string></string>
<key>SMbiosversion</key>
<string></string>
</dict>
</plist>

I think it should be included in the new NBI! Of course if there's no trouble with it!

Cheers!

I'm curious how you've used these SMBIOS.plist files. I've tinkered with several different versions of SMBIOS plists and never had any problems with any of them. I'm just plugging them into the Extra folder, which I always thought that was kind of a "makeshift" method.

Is there an alternative method that I'm unaware of that would perhaps result in said KP's?

Yeah that's how I use them, the KP is caused because some times when speedstpepping is working it has some kind of troubles i guess and boum! KP! particularly with the MBA1,1 and 2,1 the version i posted works flawlessly! And yeah I put the files in Extra, maybe I'm doing/saying something wrong

Hah, naw, that's the same thing I'm doing. Funny I don't recall getting any KP's when I tested MBA1,1. Hmm... Strange. Anyhow, going to give this plist a try a little later, nice find!
