Got the Mac OS X PPC version working!

[clofresh]

With a tip from sebastian, I got the Mac OS X binary (version 1.1.324) working for ppc!

First, download FOF and extract it into your Applications folder.
Then in the Applications folder, right click "Frets On Fire" and select "Show Package Contents".
From the new window, browse to Contents/Resources/data, then select default.ttf and do File->Duplicate.
Next, in another Finder window, navigate to /Library/Fonts (not in your home directory, but from your hard drive root), copy Chalkboard.tff and paste it into the other Finder's directory.
Rename that new Chalkboard.tff to default.ttf, and you're done!

That seems to have done the trick!!!

I can confirm this works for my imac G4.

Many thanks for the top tip my friend.....

Followed instructions in this thread on intel iMac -> I get the following error:

Frets on Fire Error
An unexpected error has occurred during execution of the main script

ImportError: Failure linking new module: /Applications/Frets on Fire.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/datetime.so: bad local relocation length

Any ideas?

Thank you!

I've tried this on an iMac Core Duo but it didn't work. Yesterday when trying to run the game I got the same error as rixm. Today I downloaded the game once more and tried running it, just in case. I noticed the icon had changed and I got a new error message. This time I could also hear the sound getting ready and the window opened but crashed with a new error before showing any graphics:
