Funkmasters EZX dmg file won’t open/install

[Dinosaur David B]

I’m getting the following message trying to install the Funkmasters pack on Mac running OS 10.6.x/Logic:
The following disk images failed to mount
TT121_EZX_Funkmasters_MAC.dmg – reason: codec overrun

btw, the Vintage and Drumkit from Hell packs, and their updates installed just fine. I think there’s a problem with the Funkmaster file. How do I get a different file?

Could you try installing the download version from your Toontrack account. The pic below shows EZdrummer but you should have the similar ‘Mac’ button under your Funkmaster EZX to download.

Yes, this is exactly what I did. I downloaded Funkmasters, Vintage and DFH, and the only one that had the problem was the Funkmasters.

The only thing I could come up with is this:

I’m not a Mac guy so you may need to hang tight until tomorrow when John or Rogue is able to chime in.

That sounds like the right track, but I don’t know where you disable that SPI firewall.

Are you using a netgear router?

Just read that this NetGear SPI firewall problem also effected Firefox, so I downloaded the file with Safari instead — that let me open the installer and install them, but the files are still corrupted and don’t work after installation — they hang/crash EZdrummer Solo, and or Logic.

[Dinosaur David B]

Yes, Netgear. I think the firewall is still removing data from the .DMG file.

[Brad]

Yes, lots of chatter out there about SPI and Netgear…. You’re router/ISP is NATing your IP address so disabling SPI isn’t a serious vulnerability. You can always enable it afterwards.

You’ll have to log into your router to change the setting.

Once you have done that on left side click the Wan Setup menu item (link)
In the middle section of the Wan Setup page click the “Disable SPI Firewall” check box.
At the bottom of the setup page click the Apply button.
