| The PippinFinder file is only to be used with CDs that have a multiple-application interface. Since most titles developed for Pippin will involve only a single application launched immediately at start-up, the PippinFinder file is not used and therefore should not be placed in the System Folder. Even with multiple application titles, the PippinFinder does not provide the interface for launching the applications within a title CD; the interface is provided by a Pippin Launch file. | | The PippinFinder file is only to be used with CDs that have a multiple-application interface.

| + | |
| + | The PippinFinder file, when used with multiple-application titles, is used to search and find the Pippin Launch file. The Pippin Launch file contains a resource of type PCde with an ID of zero. When launching, the PCde code resource is loaded and executed, and thus provides an interface for multiple application selection. |
| + | |
| + | The API for the Pippin Launch code module is as follows: |
| + | |
| + | pascal OSErr PippinCode(FSSpecPtr fileToLaunch, Boolean* restart); |
| + | |
| + | The PippinCode module works in that when it is called, it expects to returned an FSSpec in the FSSpecPtr. Another varred parameter, called shutdown is used to let PippinFinder know that the code module, as requested by the user, wants to restart the machine. |
| + | |
| + | With version 1.0 of PippinFinder, a return of any error will result in PippinFinder hanging in an endless loop. By returning an invalid FSSpec will also result in PippinFinder hanging in the same loop. It is therefore vital that the code module does adequate error checking. |
| + | |
| + | To help limit memory leaks before the code module is called, a heap of 2Meg is created in temporary memory space and a zone is initialized there. If you need more memory, use additional temporary memory space. When returned from the PippinCode module, the handle which contains the 2Meg code module is released. |
| + | |
| + | This describes the total functionality of PippinFinder. Apple is also providing a PippinCode module that will be described in a separate Pippin Technical Note. For functionality beyond what Apple's PippinCode provides, developers are directed to write their own PCde code modules. |

| The Pippin OS frequently includes extensions such as QuickTime and Applejack. Extensions almost always draw an icon when loading, which is what produces the row of icons across the bottom of the screen when the system is booting. The Pippin user experience though should not include such computer specific messages. The user probably will not even know what QuickTime is. Therefore, developers should stop the drawing of icons during the boot process for Pippin CDs. | | The Pippin OS frequently includes extensions such as QuickTime and Applejack.

| + | |
| + | Stopping an icon from drawing on the screen at boot time is relatively easy. Just erase its mask with ResEdit and QuickDraw won't draw it. This procedure shows how to prevent QuickTime from drawing its icon but the process is the same for all extensions. |

| + | |
| + | [[File:Figure22.gif]] |
| + | |
| + | Note: A few extensions draw 'cicn's rather than the 'ICN#' resources shown here. The rule is: Open the icon that is drawn at boot time. You will just have to try this, and if the icon stil shows up, look for another icon that you may have missed. |
| + | |
| + | Click on the mask, then use the eraser tool to erase the entire mask. Finally, close and save the extension. |

This technical note describes the hardware, software, and procedures required to make Pippin-ready CD-ROMs though either modification of already released CD-ROM titles, or in initializing a brand new CD-ROM title. |
| + | |
| + | ===Required Equipment=== |
| + | Ensure that all required equipment, either hardware or software, is readily at hand before beginning the CD-ROM "pippinizing" processes. Do not begin these procedures if you do not have all equipment immediately available. |
| + | |
| + | ====Hardware==== |
| + | The following hardware is required to complete these procedures: |
| + | * Power Macintosh 6100/66 or higher. AV Power Macintosh models are optional. |
| + | * external hard drive with a minimum of 200MB |
| + | * CD-ROM duplicating device (e.g., Yamaha CDR-100 or any other duplicating device). 4x speed duplicating device models are recommended, although lower speed devices will work as well. |
| + | * SCSI/SCSI connectors short extender cable |
| + | * SCSI/SCSI-2 connectors short extender cable |
| + | * SCSI connector terminator |
| + | * SCSI-2 connector terminator |
| + | * Pippin Power Player testing unit with external SCSI connector cable |
| + | * Applejack controller |
| + | * TV monitor |
| + | * Blank CD-R disks (preferably gold dye type) |
| + | |
| + | The following hardware is optionally required to complete these procedures: |
| + | * keyboard and adapter cable |
| + | * external memory card, if needed for development. |
| + | * AV cable +/- S-video cable |
| + | * modem |
| + | * printer |
| + | * network cables or other necessary networking hardware |
| + | |
| + | ====Software==== |
| + | Ensure that the following software is readily available before beginning this procedure. |
| + | |
| + | Note: All software versions listed are minimum levels; higher levels are also acceptable. |
| + | |
| + | * System 7.5.1 (or higher) must be installed on the Power Macintosh. |
| + | * CD-ROM drivers are packaged with System 7.5.1. Specifically, the following extensions must be present on the Power Macintosh before beginning this procedure: |
| + | ** Apple CD-ROM |
| + | ** Apple Photo Access |
| + | ** Audio CD Access |
| + | ** Foreign File Access |
| + | ** High Sierra File Access |
| + | ** ISO 9660 File Access |
| + | |
| + | Note: In general, it is best to have the latest CD-ROM drivers installed on your Power Macintosh. If using System 7.5.1, install Update 5.1.1. If using System 7.5.2 or later, Update 5.1.1 is not necessary. |
| + | |
| + | Note: If using enhanced multimedia CD formats, ensure that you have the appropriate additional CD driver extensions installed. |
| + | |
| + | * CD-ROM duplicating software, such as Toast CD-ROM Pro(TM) 2.5.6. |
| + | * SCSIProbe 3.5 (shareware) or any other volume mounting utility. |
| + | * ResEdit 2.1.3 or any other resource editing application. |
| + | * Hard Disk formatting application, such as Hard Disk Tool Kit(TM) 1.75 by FWB or APS PowerTools(TM) 2.8.1. |
| + | * Pippin System Folder (available from Pippin SDK). |
| + | * Demo or application software to be installed. |
| + | * Authentication software, if necessary. (See "Authentication" Technical Notes.) |
| + | * AppleJack 2.2.0 application and system extension if customizing the Applejack Controller (available from Pippin SDK). (See "Applejack Input Device Driver" Technical Notes). |
| + | |
| + | ===Setting Up=== |
| + | The following subsections provide a step-by-step procedure to make "Pippin-ready" CD-ROMs. |
| + | |
| + | Note: Do not skip steps! Work carefully to ensure that the specified procedure is properly implemented. |
| + | |
| + | ====Hardware Configuration==== |
| + | Configure the Power Macintosh, external hard drive, and CD-ROM duplicating device as follows: |
| + | |
| + | # Set SCSI ID on the external hard drive to an unused value other than existing SCSI IDs (i.e., typically, a Power Macintosh's internal hard drive has a SCSI ID set to "0"; the internal CD-ROM is usually set to "3"; the CD-ROM duplicating device can be set to "1"). |
| + | # Using the SCSI/SCSI cable, attach one end to the back of the Power Macintosh; attach the other end to the external hard drive's SCSI connector. |
| + | # Using the SCSI/SCSI-2 cable, attach the SCSI end of the cable to the remaining SCSI connector on the external hard drive; attach the SCSI-2 end of the cable to the CD-ROM duplicating device. |
| + | # Place the SCSI-2 terminator on the open SCSI-2 connector on the CD-ROM duplicating device. |
| + | |
| + | [[File:Figure111.gif]] |
| + | |
| + | ====Preparing External Hard Drive==== |
| + | The external hard drive must be formatted or partitioned before beginning the "Pippinizing" procedure. Ensure that the following steps are carefully carried out. Do not skip any steps. |
| + | |
| + | # Using SCSI Probe 3.5 (or higher) control panel, mount the external hard drive (i.e., first select "Update", then "Mount" to mount the external drive). |
| + | # Using Hard Disk Toolkit 1.75 (or higher), select the external hard drive ID from the listed SCSI IDs. |
| + | # Select "Format" to format the selected hard drive. When the application queries what type of partition is desired, select "Standard Partition" and highlight "Maximum Macintosh". |
| + | # Partition size should not be greater than 640MB, since writable CD-ROMs are that same size. Ideally, create a partition that is CD-ROM size. |
| + | |
| + | ===Creating a "Pippin-Ready" CD-ROM=== |
| + | Follow the appropriate process in the following sections to create a "Pippin-ready" CD-ROM: |
| + | |
| + | * To modify an already released CD-ROM, follow the procedure in section 4.1. |
| + | * To create a brand new "Pippin-ready" CD-ROM, skip to section 4.2, "Creating a New Pippin CD-ROM," on page 8. |
| + | |
| + | ====Modifying a Released CD-ROM Title==== |
| + | Before beginning this procedure, ensure that all configuration steps as outlined in section 3, "Setting Up," have been completed. You cannot proceed with this procedure if any steps in section 3 and its subsections have been skipped. |
| + | |
| + | 1. Insert released CD-ROM in Power Macintosh CD drive. |
| + | |
| + | 2. Drag and drop the entire volume of CD-ROM title to newly formatted partition on the external hard drive. |
| + | |
| + | Note: Do not use "Select All" to copy volume because hidden files could potentially be left behind in the copy process. By dragging and dropping, you are ensured that all files/folders and/or paths within the volume are duplicated to the partition. |
| + | |
| + | 3. Using ResEdit 2.1.3 (or higher), find any hidden files or folders within the copied volume, and make them visible on the external hard drive. |
| + | |
| + | 4. Rename the volume folder of the recently copied volume (in the partition) by adding "old" to the end of the volume name. |
| + | |
| + | 5. Press "Select All" files within the volume folder of the recently copied volume (in the partition). |
| + | |
| + | 6. Drag and drop all selected files to the "root level" of the partition (on external hard drive). |
| + | |
| + | 7. Rename the partition to the same title name as the original volume name. |
| + | |
| + | 8. Launch the title to test that the copy process was successful. |
| + | |
| + | Note: Sometimes titles are developed with specific requirements of using a hard drive to launch. In such cases, use a utility such as DiskLocker 1.3 to lock your hard drive before testing the title. Launch the application from the "locked" hard drive partition. If the application still does not launch properly, you may want to recheck the development work of the title. Once the testing is successful, remember to "unlock" the hard drive before preceding. |
| + | |
| + | 9. Drag and drop old empty volume folder to the Trash. |
| + | |
| + | 10. Drag and drop Pippin System Folder into the title volume partition (available from Pippin SDK). |
| + | |
| + | 11. Ensure that the following minimum file set exists in the Pippin System Folder |
| + | |
| + | [[File:Figure222.gif]] |
| + | |
| + | Note: Although the Finder file is included in Figure 2, the Finder is not included in the license and should not be released with the Pippin end-product. Refer to sections 4.3.1 through 4.3.3 to see how and when to properly remove the Finder from your Pippin CD-ROM. |
| + | |
| + | 12. If any additional software, preferences, and/or extensions are needed to run the title (e.g., networking software, modem software, Applejack application and system extension, ADB device software, Pippin Launch, etc.), add them to the title volume partition at this time. |
| + | |
| + | Note: If additional software needs to be installed with an Installer file, be sure to install the software onto the Pippin, and not the Power Macintosh, or else the System Folder components will not get installed. |
| + | |
| + | 13. Ensure that the Pippin System Folder is called "System Folder". |
| + | |
| + | 14. Create a new folder in the System Folder called "temp". |
| + | |
| + | 15. Drag and drop the PippinFinder file into the temp folder. |
| + | |
| + | 16. Unmount and shut down the external hard drive. |
| + | |
| + | 17. Attach the external hard drive to the Pippin test unit by connecting the available external SCSI cable to the hard drive. |
| + | |
| + | 18. Attach an Applejack controller to the Pippin test unit, or, optionally, attach a keyboard adapter and keyboard to the Pippin test unit. |
| + | |
| + | 19. Place a SCSI terminator on the extra SCSI connector slot on the external hard drive, if necessary. |
| + | |
| + | 20. Boot the hard drive with the Pippin test unit connected. |
| + | |
| + | Note: If having difficulty booting the hard drive, restart the drive after adding a SCSI terminator. |
| + | |
| + | 21. Configure the title to run on the Pippin with the final Pippin configuration. |
| + | |
| + | 22. Launch the title on the Pippin to test all title capabilities. Expanded memory should not be used during testing of the title capabilities, and memory allocations should be efficiently used and kept to a minimum. |
| + | |
| + | 23. Test thoroughly. |
| + | |
| + | Note: Do not skip the final testing step. Test all title capabilities. At this stage of the process especially, it is crucial to determine whether the title is going to work on a Pippin, or not. If the title does not work, then the developer must figure out why and how to make the title work before proceeding with this process. |
| + | |
| + | 24. Upon successful thorough testing, continue with "Front-End Interface Configuration". |
| + | |
| + | ====Creating a New Pippin CD-ROM==== |
| + | Before beginning this procedure, ensure that all configuration steps as outlined in section 3, "Setting Up," have been completed. You cannot proceed with this procedure if any steps in section 3 and its subsections have been skipped. |
| + | |
| + | 1. Drag and drop all new title files from wherever they have been stored on the Power Macintosh to the "root level" of the newly formatted partition on the external hard drive. |
| + | |
| + | 2. Ensure that any hidden files have also been copied (use ResEdit 2.1.3 (or higher) in needed). |
| + | |
| + | 3. Rename the partition to coincide with the title name. |
| + | |
| + | 4. Launch the title to test that the copy process was successful. |
| + | |
| + | Note: Sometimes titles are developed with specific requirements of using a hard drive to launch. In such cases, use a utility such as DiskLocker(TM) 1.3 to lock your hard drive before testing the title. Launch the application from the "locked" hard drive partition. If the application still does not launch properly, you may want to recheck the development work of the title. Once the testing is successful, remember to "unlock" the hard drive before preceding. |
| + | |
| + | 5. Drag and drop the Pippin System Folder into the title volume partition (available from Pippin SDK). |
| + | |
| + | 6. Ensure that the minimum file set shown in Figure 1 on page 4 exists in the Pippin System Folder (if not, contact Pippin development at [email protected]). |
| + | |
| + | Note: Although the Finder file is included in Figure 2, the Finder is not included in the license and should not be released with the Pippin end-product. |
| + | |
| + | 7. If any additional software, preferences, and/or extensions are needed to run the title (e.g., networking software, modem software, Applejack system extension and application, ADB device software, Pippin Launch, etc.), add them to the title volume partition at this time. |
| + | |
| + | Note: If additional software needs to be installed with an "Installer" file, be sure to install the software onto the Pippin, and not the Power Macintosh, or else the System Folder components will not get installed. |
| + | |
| + | 8. Ensure that the Pippin System Folder is called "System Folder". |
| + | |
| + | 9. Create new folder in the System Folder called "temp". |
| + | |
| + | 10. Drag and drop the PippinFinder file into the temp folder. |
| + | |
| + | 11. Unmount and shut down the external hard drive. |
| + | |
| + | 12. Attach the external hard drive to the Pippin test unit by connecting the available external SCSI cable to the hard drive. |
| + | |
| + | 13. Attach an Applejack controller to the Pippin test unit, or, optionally, attach a keyboard adapter and keyboard to the Pippin test unit. |
| + | |
| + | 14. Place a SCSI terminator on the extra SCSI connector slot on the external hard drive, if necessary. |
| + | |
| + | 15. Boot the hard drive with the Pippin test unit connected. |
| + | |
| + | Note: If having difficulty booting the hard drive, restart the drive after adding a SCSI terminator. |
| + | |
| + | 16. Configure the title to run on the Pippin with the final Pippin configuration. |
| + | |
| + | 17. Launch the title on the Pippin to test all title capabilities. Expanded memory should not be used during testing of the title capabilities, and memory allocations should be efficiently used and kept to a minimum. |
| + | |
| + | 18. Test thoroughly. |
| + | |
| + | Note: Do not skip the final testing step. Test all title capabilities. At this stage of the process especially, it is crucial to determine whether the title is going to work on a Pippin, or not. If the title does not work, then the developer must figure out why and how to make the title work before proceeding with this process. |
| + | |
| + | ====Front-End Interface Configuration==== |
| + | Since there are many ways to configure a title's front-end interface, deciding on a strategy of how a developer wants the title to be launched is very important. The following subsections outline just three ways to configure titles' launching mechanisms. Of course, many other customized mechanisms will be attempted and are possible by engineers. However, a key point to note is that what works for one title will not always work for another title since each and every title is unique, and has very different requirements. |
| + | |
| + | Use one of the following described interface configuration mechanism that best suits your title's needs, or design your own, with the understanding that such a chore may be far more time-consuming than may first seem to be. |
| + | |
| + | Note: If you are unsure about which interface option to use, simply choose one and attempt it. If the final launch test fails, select an alternative option. If you exhaust all options, contact Pippin development at [email protected] with a description of your processes and problem. |
| + | |
| + | =====Option: Launching Title with an "Alias" of Title===== |
| + | By using this interface configuration mechanism successfully, the title application will launch automatically upon inserting the CD-ROM title into the Pippin test unit. |
| + | |
| + | Note: Some titles will not allow an "alias" to launch the title, thus requiring the developer to select another option. |
| + | |
| + | 1. Make an "alias" (press \xf0 m) of the title application file (located in the volume title partition of the external hard drive). |
| + | |
| + | 2. Drag and drop the alias file to the Startup Items folder within the System Folder. |
| + | |
| + | 3. Drag and drop the (Macintosh) Finder file and the temp folder to the Trash. |
| + | |
| + | 4. Rename the PippinFinder file to "Finder". |
| + | |
| + | 5. Open the new renamed Finder with ResEdit. |
| + | |
| + | 6. Under "File" in the Menu bar, select "Get Info for Finder", and a window similar to Figure 3 will appear. |
| + | |
| + | Figure 3 : "Info for Finder" Window BEFORE Changes Are Made |
| + | |
| + | [[File:Figure333.gif]] |
| + | |
| + | 7. Change Type from "APPL" to "FNDR" and Creator from "pfdr" to "MACS". Also, under "Finder flags", deselect "Has BNDL" and "Use Custom Icon", as shown in Figure 4. |
| + | |
| + | Figure 4 : "Info for Finder" Window AFTER Changes Are Made |
| + | |
| + | [[File:Figure44.gif]] |
| + | |
| + | 8. Close and save the new Finder file. |
| + | |
| + | 9. If any additional software, preferences, and/or extensions are needed to run the title (e.g., networking software, modem software, Applejack system extension and application, ADB device software, Pippin Launch, etc.), configure them at this time. |
| + | |
| + | 10. Configure hardware as desired (e.g., customizing Applejack controller, ADB devices, etc.). |
| + | |
| + | 11. Reboot the Pippin to test whether the title is automatically launched. |
| + | |
| + | 12. If the title launches upon reboot, retest all title capabilities. (If the title will not launch, proceed with another interface configuring option.) |
| + | |
| + | 13. Test thoroughly. |
| + | |
| + | Note: Do not skip the final testing step. Test all title capabilities. |
| + | |
| + | 14. Upon successful thorough testing, continue with section 5, "Final Steps: Pressing the Newly Pippinized CD-ROM," on page 15. |
| + | |
| + | =====Option 2: Launching Title with Application in "Startup Items"===== |
| + | By using this interface configuration mechanism successfully, the title application will automatically be launched upon inserting the CD-ROM title into the Pippin test unit. |
| + | |
| + | Note: Some titles will not allow the application file to launch from a location other than the "root" on the volume; thus requiring the developer to select another option. |
| + | |
| + | 1. Drag and drop the title application file to the Startup Items folder within the System Folder. |
| + | |
| + | Note: This mechanism will not work if your title requires other components to also be in the Startup Items folder within the System Folder. |
| + | |
| + | 2. Drag and drop the PippinFinder file from the temp folder to the System Folder. |
| + | |
| + | 3. Drag and drop the (Macintosh) Finder file and the temp folder to the Trash. |
| + | |
| + | 4. Rename the PippinFinder file to "Finder". |
| + | |
| + | 5. Open the new renamed Finder with ResEdit. |
| + | |
| + | 6. Under "File" in the Menu bar, select "Get Info for Finder", and a window similar to Figure 5 will appear. |
| + | |
| + | Figure 5 : "Info for Finder" Window BEFORE Changes Are Made |
| + | |
| + | [[File:Figure333.gif]] |
| + | |
| + | 7. Change Type from "APPL" to "FNDR" and Creator from "pfdr" to "MACS". Also, under "Finder flags", deselect "Has BNDL" and "Use Custom Icon", as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6 : "Info for Finder" Window AFTER Changes Are Made |
| + | |
| + | [[File:Figure44.gif]] |
| + | |
| + | 8. Close and save the new Finder file. |
| + | |
| + | 9. If any additional software, preferences, and/or extensions are needed to run the title (e.g., networking software, modem software, Applejack system extension and application, ADB device software, Pippin Launch, etc.), configure them at this time. |
| + | |
| + | 10. Configure hardware as desired (e.g., customizing Applejack controller, ADB devices, etc.). |
| + | |
| + | 11. Reboot the Pippin to test whether the title is automatically launched. |
| + | |
| + | 12. If the title launches upon reboot, retest all title capabilities. (If the title will not launch, proceed with another interface configuring option.) |
| + | |
| + | 13. Test thoroughly. |
| + | |
| + | Note: Do not skip the final testing step. Test all title capabilities. |
| + | |
| + | 14. Upon successful thorough testing, continue with "Final Steps: Pressing the Newly Pippinized CD-ROM". |
| + | |
| + | ====Option 3: Pippin Launch==== |
| + | By using this interface configuration mechanism successfully, a custom user interface is modified according to the requirements of the title. |
| + | |
| + | 1. Reconnect the external hard drive to the Power Macintosh following the steps defined in "Hardware Configuration". |
| + | |
| + | 2. Drag and drop the Pippin Launch file to the System Folder (available from Pippin SDK). |
| + | |
| + | 3. Drag and drop the PippinFinder file from the temp folder to the System Folder. |
| + | |
| + | 4. Drag and drop the (Macintosh) Finder file and the temp folder to the Trash. |
| + | |
| + | 5. Duplicate the PippinFinder file (press \xf0 d). |
| + | |
| + | 6. Rename the PippinFinder copy file to "Finder". |
| + | |
| + | 7. Open the new renamed Finder with ResEdit. |
| + | |
| + | 8. Under "File" in the Menu bar, select "Get Info for Finder", and a window similar to Figure 7 will appear. |
| + | |
| + | Figure 7 : "Info for Finder" Window BEFORE Changes Are Made |
| + | |

| + | |
| + | 10. Close and save the new Finder file. |
| + | |
| + | 11. If any additional software, preferences, and/or extensions are needed to run the title (e.g., networking software, modem software, Applejack system extension and application, ADB device software, Pippin Launch, etc.), configure them at this time. |
| + | |
| + | 12. Configure hardware as desired (e.g., customizing Applejack controller, ADB devices, etc.). |
| + | |
| + | 13. Double-click on Pippin Launch file. |
| + | |
| + | 14. Use ResEdit 2.1.3 to configure Pippin Launch as desired. (See "Pippin Launch" Technical Note available at http://www.pippin.apple.com.) |
| + | |
| + | 15. Launch the title on the Pippin to test all title capabilities. |
| + | |
| + | 16. Test thoroughly. |
| + | |
| + | Note: Do not skip the final testing step. Test all title capabilities. |
| + | |
| + | ===Final Steps: Pressing the Newly Pippinized CD-ROM=== |
| + | Assuming that all steps in proceeding sections have been properly followed, you may begin the final steps: the pressing of the newly Pippinized CD-ROM. |
| + | |
| + | 1. Inactivate AppleTalk on the Power Macintosh. |
| + | |
| + | 2. Disable networking on the Power Macintosh (i.e., LocalTalk should be selected). |
| + | |
| + | Note: Disabling networking connections is crucial to do before continuing this procedure. Networking interruptions will interfere with the CD-ROM mastering process. |
| + | |
| + | 3. Reconnect the external hard drive to the Power Macintosh following the steps defined in "Hardware Configuration". |
| + | |
| + | 4. Insert a blank, unused, unpressed gold dye type CD-R disk into the duplicating device. |
| + | |
