For reasons to do with LocalTalk I’m wanting to install OS 10.2 onto a G4 Mac Mini. Minimum supported os is 10.3
I’ve put in a hard drive with an existing install of 10.2.8 (server) and it boots but there’s no video drivers so the screen is just a weird black and white unscaled mess.
Now someone has managed to update the drivers by copying the driver bundle from 10.3. They also updated the Kext and the binary. Heres the post.

So my question is, how does one modify the binary file?

Thanks!
