Hi guys,

I'm trying to use the Unlock Region Code Resource Kit Script on a 10.6 mac, & it doesn't seem to unlock the region code setting.

The Mac is running 10.6.8.

Can someone confirm please that this script still works or not.

Thanks!

nvm being daft.. the above sets the DVD region to the 1st dvd inserted, the below should allow the users to change region:

#!/bin/sh

sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Add :rights:system.device.dvd.setregion.change:class string allow' /etc/authorization
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Add :rights:system.device.dvd.setregion.change:comment string "Allows any user to change the DVD region code after it has been set the first time."' /etc/authorization
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Add :rights:system.device.dvd.setregion.change:group string user' /etc/authorization
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Add :rights:system.device.dvd.setregion.change:shared bool true' /etc/authorization

Can you confirm that works? Would be really useful if it does.
