1.- Download it
If you haven't already done, you must first download the compressed file jokeridge.sit
2.- Expand it
The file jokeridge.sit can be expanded using Stuffit Expander™, by Aladdin Systems.
Once uncompressed, you will have in your disk a folder named "Joke Ridge Files". This folder should contain the following files:
| Joke Ridge: | A control panel |
| Readme: | A user's guide |
3.- Move to Control Panels folder
Next you must move the file "Joke Ridge" to your Control Panels folder. To do this, it is enough dragging its icon to the System Folder icon, and press the "OK" button when a dialog prompts you to move the file to the Control Panels folder.
4.- Disable other ISO 9660 mounters
If you have another software that mounts ISO 9660 CD-ROM, you must uninstall it or disable it, or it will compete with Joke Ridge to mount ISO 9660 CDs. This includes "ISO 9660 File Access", the standard ISO 9660 mounter included with MacOS, and "Joliet Volume Access", by Thomas Tempelmann.
If you have "Joliet Volume Access", you can use the control strip "UDF/ISO/Joliet Enabler" included with this software to disable both "Joliet Volume Access" and "ISO9660 File Access".
If you don't have the UDF/ISO/Joliet Enabler, you must move the file "ISO9660 File Access" from your Extensions folder to another folder (such as Extensions (disabled)). Be aware that "ISO9660 File Acces" could have a different name in localized versions of the operating system. It is better not to delete the file, so it can be easily restored in case you are not satisfied with Joke Ridge.
You could also disable "ISO9660 File Access" using the Extensions Manager, but then you would only be allowed to disable the full "Foreign File Access" thing, so you would not be able to mount other formats such as Audio CD, High Sierra, UDF, etc.
5.- Restart
As the last step, restart the computer. If you have the UDF/ISO/Joliet Enabler or if "ISO9660 File Access" was not installed the last time you started up, this step is not required; just open the Joke Ridge control panel and it will be ready to mount the next volume you place in your CD reader.
