  • AMD/Region fix for Marvel & Zoran (maybe)

    This may be of no general help, but might be worth trying. I got my Marvel G200 AGP in January, at that time I had an AMD K6 300 in a TMC TV15a+(something like that), (now a 350 in an Asus P5A). Zoran soft dvd would not work (it doesn't like AMD I believe...) but I had a Creative dx2 dvd card so didn't worry. I recently moved up to a diamond monster MX300 sound card and while looking for driver updates discovered:
    at:
    ftp://ftp.diamondmm-europe.com/diamond/3daudio/msnd300/files.htm

    the following:

    " DVD901.TXT
    (2 kB, 21-Apr-99) README for SoftDVD Player Update v2.125_9.01, rel. 0499.
    DVD901.EXE
    (10,1 MB, 26-Apr-99) SoftDVD Update v2.125_9.01 for use with the Monster Sound MX300, rel. 0499. This version includes 2nd generation DVD drive support, AMD support and Multiregion 1-6 support. Note README!. "

    I uninstalled my old Zoran and installed this- it worked, with multi-region too! but then I'm running the MX300.

    Not as smooth as the Creative card but I've only got a Marvel G200, it's not really running off the sound card is it?, it must be running off the Marvel?
    Perhaps someone could try it with a G200 or G400, without an MX300, see how it goes. The hope is, Zoran Softdvd 'can' work on an AMD and Matrox setup, just hope you don't all have to buy a new sound card to get it to work :-)

    best wishes,
