Want to play Guitar Hero on PowerPC

Hi All,
Recently I noticed that guitar Hero 3 has been released on Mac...I really want to play this but I don't have the intel processor. Is there anyway to get this to work on my G5 PowerPc imac (not insight version one before). I have all other requirements apart from the processor.
Anyone have any ideas, I would be more than grateful..:)
Kind regards
Justin

Hi,
Thanks for the reply...and welcome..:)
Is that the only answer?..Man thats harsh..I cant afford a new mac, is there no way around it?

I want to play guitar with a friend through my iphone and his ipad.

I want to play guitar with a friend through my iphone4 and his ipad. Is this possible??? I hooked my Iphone4 to a FM transmitter so I could hear my friend through my stereo. However, whenever I played, his feed cut out. Is there a way to play music in real time using these devices?
Thanks...

Delete unwanted message on iPhone and backup again. Do the same with iPad.

In iTunes, is there any way to play one song at at time and have the song stop at its end. I want to play guitar with a track and have that track stop playing rather than going to the next song.

I want to play a single song in iTunes on my ipad and have the track stop when the song finishes, rather than itunes playing the next track. I play guitar with the track and need iTunes to stop at the end of the song.
I have worked around this issue by creating a separate play list for each song, then inserting the song into the play list. I would like to find a more straight forward solution that would eliminate this extra step. On my PC, I use QuickTime to bring up an individual song and then can play one track at a time.
Thanks!

On the IPod if the shuffle icon is colored blue it is ON, if it is colored white it is OFF. This control is global, if it is ON any album or list will be shuffled.

Please tell me what I should upgrade to be able to play Guitar Hero III

Hello I have an April 2006 13' Macbook.
It is a 2Ghz, 1GB 667 Mhz.
Ive got an Intel GMA 950 with 64MB VRAM.
I know I'm not anywhere near where i need to be but please, is there anything i can do?
THank you

Hi ckyo01!
Unfortunately, there's little/nothing to do that will allow you to "upgrade" your machine to meet the minimum system requirements of Guitar Hero III. That game does not support shared/virtual graphics processors in laptops, which the MacBook is configured with from the factory.

HELP: I just want to play my old Heroes of Might & Magic III on my new Mac

Mac says that the application to install Heroes of Might & Magic III "is not supported on this system."
Is there some kind of patch I can download so my operating system will recognize and allow this file? I really want to play this classic game.
Thanks!

Hi zforman;
With Intel Mac you are unable to run "Classic" programs.

Guitar Hero Game

Hello All:
At the moment, I am working on this guitar hero type game.
For those who have never heard about Guitar Hero, it is an
interesting rhythm game using both concepts of Frequency and
Amplitude. The game screen consists of a scrolling fret board that
has various colored notes on it. Each color corresponds to one of
the buttons on the guitar, which you must hold down while strumming
on the flipper.
The main problem I am having at the moment is the sound
synchronization. The game contains a quite long sound clip, so it
is quite hard to keep the animation in sync with the sound.
Obviously slow machine could play an animation much slower than a
fast computer. But the sound on both machines are played pretty the
same.
I am asking for help from you guys if any of you have any
knowledge about gaining more control over audio sync? For example,
what if I want to use programming to synchronize sound with notes
moving animations in this game.
There are probably more than one solution out there, so
please feel free to make a suggestion. I am looking for all
options.
and of course your help will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks..

Guitar Hero PlayStation 4 will plug in and practice a few power chords on 1st April, an invitation received by Gamereactor UK suggests. The site – which has since pulled its article – reported that Activision will be holding an event at "Hamburg Rock City" where it suggested that attendees should be ready to "rock the shack with us".

Hey lilrileydragon-
WHO’S READY TO ROCK?
Yeah, me too! Right now, we don’t have any information regarding the availability of additional controllers for the new Guitar Hero game, but both Veroku_Chan and bobberuchi have provided some great insight into generally what happens with the launches of peripheral-based games like this.
I would recommend watching BestBuy.com as we get closer to launch to see what may be released around that time.
Thanks for posting!

Guitar Hero III for G5 / OS 10.4.10 multiple crashes

This might be the wrong forum, but as there is no "gaming" forum, I'm posting here.
I've just installed GH III on my G5 with Dual-Core Intel Xeon running OS 10.4.10 - 256 MB of VRAM, my video card is NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. I fit all the requirements on the back of the box.
What I've been trying to do somewhat successfully is to play the game out my second monitor port to be displayed on a 36 inch Panasonic plasma. I set the display to "mirror display," and that works for a few minutes then the game crashes. I've tried not using the plasma and just displaying the game through my regular monitor, but it still crashes quite a bit that way as well
It might not even be a monitor issue, but I'm just trying to figure out why Guitar Hero would suffer so many crashes on my system. I do have two external hard drives hooked up via firewire, not sure if that could be an issue as well.
If anyone has any suggestions let me know!

I haven't updated to 10.4.11 yet since this computer's main purpose is for audio recording, and it's running Pro Tools 7.3.1 and Final Cut HD and various other programs. Every update we have to wait awhile to see if any bugs pop up or if it will still be able to run Pro Tools.
We've had trouble in the past updating one program causing a chain reaction of other that puts the computer out for a day or two as we scramble for missing updates or purchasing new software versions.
Could the lack of the OS updated be causing Guitar Hero III to crash frequently?

I have a power mac G5 and want to play sims 3 on it.

I have a power mac G5 and want to play sims 3 on it. When I click on the disk from the desktop it says "you can not open the application the sims 3 installer, because its not supported on this architecture." How can I fix and or resolve this issue? Thanks in advance! Connor

Sorry, but The Sims 3 require an Intel CPU Mac running OS X Leopard 10.5.7 or greater.
Your G5 is IBM PowerPC Mac and therefore will not run on that hardware architecture.
No workarounds. You need a newer Intel Mac to play this version of The Sims.
Sorry,

Guitar Hero 3 - stutters and crackl

Hiya all. I'm currently using driver 6.0..24 (the one that DriverExpires showed how to extract on his website). In the past, sound really hasn't been a big deal for me - I have it on lightly when playing games, and for listening to youtube videos and the like. Anyhoo, I just purchased Guitar Hero 3 today, and was hoping that the audio would be great - I have a nice set of 5. surround sound speakers from Logitech. Unfortunately, while the sound itself is decent enough, I've noticed a lot of slowdown when playing the game. My first assumption is that it's related to the sound card (a SB audigy 2 ZS) because GH3 is a very sound intensi've game, and ... well ... I'm not using official CL drivers because there isn't one. But I would like to know if there's anything I can do, with what is available now, to not have so much stuttering in playing this game. As an aside, the 'vista rating' on my computer is 4.4, and I turned down the in game settings, but I'm still getting stuttering and a bit of crackle while playing. Does anybody have any advice? Is there a new driver I can try (I haven't visited this site in a few months). To the administrators, is there any news at all of a new driver being released for the Audigy 2 series? If the answer is 'no, there will never be an official driver', I'm fine with that, because at least I'll know. But really, any advice and information would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running a Audigy both on Vista 32 and 64 bit.
With the Vista Audigy CD released by daniel_k.
Even Alchemy works like a dream.
Supports all Audigy card with a Hardware EMU0K2 DSP chipset (OEM / Retail models):
- Audigy (including ES, MP3+, X-Gamer and Platinum)
- Audigy 2 (including Value, Platinum and Platinum Ex)
- Audigy 2 ZS (including Platinum and Platinum Pro)
- Audigy 4 (including SE and Pro)

Want to play Power PC game on Intel-based Mac

First off, I'm sorry if this post is in an inappropriate category but I didn't know where to put it. My OS is Tiger if that's useful.
I want to play the game Black & White on my Intel-based Macbook. The game is only supported on PowerPC-based Macs. Is there any possibility of playing this game? If there is a solution, does it work well or is it really buggy, i.e. not worth it?
Thanks for any help!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions....
I'm afraid with the system requirements for the game being.....
System Requirements
Minimum (Macintosh)
Mac OS 8.6/Mac OS 10.1.3
PowerPC G3 333 MHz
128 MB RAM (with virtual memory set to at least 256MB)
Hardware accelerated 3D Graphics Card with 8MB VRAM
500MB free hard disk space
Mouse and keyboard
Recommended (Macintosh)
Mac OS 9.2.2/Mac OS 10.2 or later
PowerPC G3 500 MHz
256MB RAM
Hardware accelerated 3D Graphics Card with 32MB VRAM
1GB free hard disk space
that it can't run on an Intel Mac. In fact, the Mac OS 9.2 is Classic... that goes back a bit. But if you can find a friend who's running a powerPC Mac with Tiger running Classic, you could run the game that way. In fact, if the game is that important to you, you might be able to pick up an older iBookG4 with at least (Tiger) 10.4.x with Classic. You'd need the support disks that came with the iBook. There is no way it will run on the MacBook... sorry. The 8.6 system goes back to about 1998. It looks like the minimum requirements say 10.2 would work also, that was Jaguar. That would work also without having to run Classic.

Xmod problem with guitar hero control

I'm having problems with my xmod sound card and guitar hero controller. As soon as I plug in the controller to my usb port, the sound on my computer becomes distorted and theres a lot of static. Even if I unplug my controller the sound continues to be distorted until I restart my computer. My best guess is that it might be some sort of usb conflict. Any ideas whats causing this?

I have the same problem and I just want to know if u find a how to fix it... If yeah, plz, tell me how.

I want to play my music on my Apple TV directly from my computer but when I click the airplay symbol it only brings up volume, how do I solve this?

Before this last update, I used to just click the airplay symbol and pull up whether I wanted to play my itunes through my apple tv or my computer speakers. Now, for one, there isn't even a symbol when itunes is expanded. When I collapse it to mini player, the symbol just brings up the volume. But i know apple tv is connected because i can stream to it from my tv. But I hate browsing through music on the tv cause it takes forever. How do i get it so i can just select my music from my computer and play it through my apple tv?

Hello Putterking,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with AirPlay. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
