1. Core Player 1.3.6
2. Coreplayer 1.3.6

Dec 12, 2009  CorePlayer 1.3.6. CorePlayer v1.3.6. License: Free Price: Free Description The CorePlayer™ Platform is at the center of the CoreCodec™ Universe for manipulating content on your desktop, mobile phone, portable media player, PDA, GPS, or convergence device. CorePlayer is designed to be a next-generation platform that will extend upon what you.

CorePlayer Mobile for OS X is the world's most efficient video player for Macintosh computers which are based on the PowerPC G4/G5 with AltiVec.
Due to its history as a video player for cell phones, it has an extremely well-tuned video playback engine, making it the video player with the fastest codec for H.264 AAC videos. But it has on the down side a very limited support for other video formats and awkward to use GUI.

It is very useful to play all the 720p/1080p videos on older PPC Macs that would not run without massive frame drops otherwise. It is capable of playing 1080p H.264 AAC on a Power Mac G4 MDD with no dropped frames at about 65-70% CPU.

It was never ported to the new Intel-based Macintosh and was discontinued in 2012.

Attention: Only cracked binary of this software is runnable ! (original binary is here for archival purposes only)

Each version of CorePlayer was locked to the Mac serial number that was given by the buyer. The original binary works on all Macs, it only needs a SN matching the Mac hardware ID serial number. Some nice person was successfully to crack that lock protection (see here ) and produced the cracked binary above.

Here are some serial number pairs that were donated to help the cracking efforts:
