I have had a lot of help from someone over at Mac OS 9 Lives in tracking down some of this software. Earlier trial versions for OS 9 and even later trial versions for OS X have been hosted at the Macintosh Garden for some time now, but even the person who posted them there has been looking for more versions. My goal is to find the GOLD version of 2.8.1 for Mac OS 9 and iTunes 2.0.x
What I found so far:
1.Trial version of 2.8.1 for Mac OS 9/iTunes 2.0.x
-This is the last build number of the software that supported Mac OS 9 at all.
What others have dug up for me:
1. Gold version of 2.8.1 for Mac OS X/iTunes x.x.x
-Even have a working serial for it and this is arguably one of the best versions released.
2. Freeware version (only version) of 2.3 for OS 9/iTunes 2.0.x.
-This does not require a license key as the software was still 100% free at this point, however this is missing many visual effects that 2.8.1 has.
The reason I'm not content with the trial version of 2.8.1 is that it flashes a very annoying "This is a trial version of G-Force." and "Please upgrade to G-Force Gold at www.soundspectrum.com." every minute or so. It actually started off only displaying it every 5 minutes, but as time went on, it got more frequent.
I have tried Hex-Editing these messages out of the trial version and was able to locate and disable the ASCII text by replacing each character with a blank space, but the program would immediately start throwing errors infinitely afterwards (unable to load new graphics, unable to display song info, etc.), so this was not successful. Nulling out the text resulted in iTunes not even recognizing the plugin.
I have also tried ResEdit and was able to find a place to insert a license code and have tried two different potential ones:
1. MEF3N-EM9UR-MT9KF-KLPP1-KLWYG-RK4LF (works with the OS X Gold version)
2. WCVF6-WK56B-CNYHM-X68V9-2GC6M-2Z54Z-D (a code suggested by another person, but it did not work in the OS X Gold version and I am not sure where they found it).
That all being said, there is a line of ASCII text in the plugin when viewed with HexEdit that strictly states "This is a trial version and cannot be licensed."
So any help in either hacking the heck out of the trial version for OS 9 (found in the link below) or hunting down the actual Gold version would be much appreciated!
