New smbios with one important fix.
Some users reported me coreplayer doesn’t work on hacks
after investigating it a bit, I found it comes from smbios
exactly - the way how IOPlatformSerialNumber is set.
now it’s fixed, u can grab kext here - http://tinyurl.com/264tgm
this also makes second life to work on hacks.
ahh…. u all will have same serial number with this kext (as with old one tho)
funny thing - some apps uses this values as user number.

Thanks!!!!
….installed, lets see how it works!!!!
Cheers netkas
what’s core player? O.o
Great work netkas, as always!
I’ve read somewhere that SecondLife is one of those apps that uses the serial number in some kind of way. It refuses working with the old AppleSMBIOS – with this new one, it works like a charm. ^^
Thanks again – keep up the great work!
nice work netkas
thanx, now i can go into second life.
love & energy

it’s works on amd ?
yo blueta… try google
what does fix this? even i didnt know core player does what?
how could i check i do need this or not?
nice job, netkas
now second life work for me
Seems to work good.
The only thing ive noticed is that my memory doesnt show up correct in System Profiler.
Netkas, would it be possible to add so that it autodetect it or could you release the source for this kext so i could just hardcode it inside.
Keep up the good work.
>ahh…. u all will have same serial number with this kext (as with old one tho)
This could be a problem.. Is there a way we could help in fixing this? I had a look on the iGuru source, but I’d like to see your changes and see if I can implement a generated SN, eventually based on the motherboard SN.
perfect… Thanks netkas..
Thank You so much NETKAS!
Will this one finally fix logmein.com ? and Mozy?
Thank you for everything “netkas” !, If I wasnt poor, I would seriously donate too ya. Sotry that I dont.
But in all ! Thanks for the extra effort to us poor humans.

so how does this compare to mac.nub’s applesmbios? does it have the same fixes? http://my.macdotnub.info/content/view/19/26/
Netkas, you’re a god man!! I don’t know what the community would have done without you!! I was so desperate about this coreplayer thing!! I bought it 2 fucking times!! And it didn’t work!! And today i stumble on your site, and to my utmost amazement I see that you have fixed the problem!! God bless you my friend!! An thank you so much!!
Netkas,
I tried many many many SMBios kexts to enable sleep on my T60p but none worked except ….. yours
You’re incredible …..
Many thanks for your work…..

“Core player” == core image?!?
AFAIK, there’s nothing related to OS X by that name.
Under System Profiler memory now gives “There was an error retrieving this information”.
Netkas, if you can make an AppleSMBIOS with the Second Life bug fixed PLUS working memory display, proper boot ROM name, Mac Pro identifier and memory speed set to 800 DDR2, I will give you my soul.
i gave info about fix to macdotnub, so expect such smbioss from him
ok so my xbox 360 joystick didnt work.
i tried the AppleSMBIOS and it worked !!! Yippiee !!
now it has stopped working and re-installing the kext doesnt help ???
ideas ??
LOGMEIN.com !!!! works now.
thank you netkas
This Fixed my issues with LogMeIn if anyone else is having problems..
Just an FYI.
Thanks for this. On my asus p5w-dh with 10.5.2 and vanilla kernel, it can show memory speed and fills out various stuff in apple system profiler. Unfortunately for my set up it stops sleep from working. It won’t go into sleep properly and will not wake up. When I replace original AppleSMBIOS.kext I loose all of the System Profiler info but sleep works properly.
I forgot to mention, my system also has the time machine update with the latest vanilla kernel 9.2.2.
In answer to an earlier question. My Mozy backups seem to work fine with this version and the 0.9.3.1 version of Mozy.

Hi guys, just wanna report that I installed this SMBIOS and “back to my mac” is not working as well as it was before… anyone else see that?
Hi and thanks for your help to all fo us netkas,
I installed your latest kernel (9.2.0 kernel with fixed shutdown, UPDATED ), fortunately speedstep works, but I’m still a newbie and still have doubts that hopefully some of yours can reply. What benefits would I get if I installed this smbios? Should I do that? What happens if I don’t do it?
Thanks people
will this work with 10.5.6
Yes same question, anyone know if it works with 10.5.6, Thank you
Netkas thank you for your smbios its work great

Hello,
This kext solved my cpu problem partialy (before this was showing 3.8 ghz, but i have e7400 with 2.8 ghz) …
But when i click about this mac it shows Processor 2.8 ghz Unknown …
Is there any way to make it see lika the e7400 ?
[...] you see an error in System Profiler when you first load it? Replace your SMBIOS kext file – see here. Here’s what an error looks like, [...]
Hi
Thanks for fixing the Final Cut Log & Transfer bug with your SMBIOS. Problem is it is back in 10.6 . Chameleon 2 and plists does not fix it, or I don’t know the entry needed. IS it posable to create a new 10.6 updated and fixed SMBIOS?
Thanks you
yes please 10.6 version is needed final cut pro is not starting so I have to remove the AppleSMBIOS to get it to work… but then get some KP dorring boot and slow boot but at least FC work… so a fixed 10.6 would be great along with SMBIOS efi to fix about this mac crash
Hi netkas, top job. I have use this on my vaio with 10.6.2 because “system Profile” crashed always and now it works, obviously only in 32 bit mode. So can you mod new AppleSMBIOS for 64 bit like you do with version posted here?
It’ll be amazing and very useful.
Only another thing: if you can, can you let the possibility to user of set his, own Serial number and Boot rom version?
I hope you consider my request
Thanks so much
