Olisi hienoa jos saisi DVD:t toimimaan... tuolla jossain vaan epäiltiin että josko Applen tuleva mahdollinen softapäivitys sekottaisi aseman lopullisesti.
EDIT: Joku on näemmä keksinyt keinon Leopardiinkin:
http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?p=209712#209712Guess what people, I have done it! I have gotten the firmware update to work on Leopard (in my case: the ZB0E firmware). My drive was previously region locked, and is now confirmed region free.
How was it done? First, I determined that the updater that was checking for version 10.3.9 or 10.4.6+ of Mac OS X was getting this information from the file /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist. So I simply edited this file to change my version of Mac OS X from 10.5.1 to 10.4.9.
Then I ran the update utility for my firmware. The first time, it bailed out, and DVD Info X confirmed that it had failed. I ran it again, and this time it succeeded. I'm not sure why it was necessary to run it twice, or whether this will be necessary for everyone.
Then I changed SystemVersion.plist back again, and rebooted like the update utility told me to. I then ran DVD Info X again which confirmed that I now had a region free drive. I have successfully played disks from regions 1, 2 and 4 to test.
Of course, DVD Player still starts up when I insert a disk, and if the disk is a different region than DVD Player is set to, it prompts me to change region (though I'm back to 5 available changes, up from 3). There are already documented ways to get around this. The Region X utility is one of them, though that doesn't seem to work on Leopard. So instead, I just installed a Preference Pane called RCDefaultApp that enabled me to change the default DVD player to VNC, which as others have noted doesn't check the disk region.
I hope this helps others!
