Frets On Fire On Your Mac!

The folks who made Frets On Fire have released a Mac version. THANK YOU!

There are some probs still, seeing as they dont own Macs they have still done a wonderful job, but there are some bugs in the current releases which make it impossible to run on some Macs. But I researched and found a way to get it going, and actually once I got it going I found that it works a lot smoother and better in OS X than it does on Vista or XP on my Macbook.

Here's the instructions with links on how to get it installed, and at the end I'll list some links of where to get songs for it.

Instructions By: Alex Yang-Nikodym (For Intel based Macs)

Step 1. Download the latest version of FoF, and the older 1.1.324.

Old 1.1324 Version Download Here

REMEMBER TO KEEP THE TWO FILES SEPERATED SO YOU KNOW WHICH IS WHICH!

Newer 1.2.451 Version Download Here

Step 2. Extract both, and go into the FoF.app (1.1.324). Now, go to Contents/Resources/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload and grab the _amanith.so . Put this in the new FoF, in the same location the older one was in. Say yes when asked to replace. Now, FoF will start up, but you'll get nothing but a blue screen and some music.

Step 3. Rename default.ttf (found in Contents/Resources/data) to default.ttf.bak . Say "use .bak" when the pop-up comes up.

Step 4. Grab Chalkboard.ttf (from Library/Fonts) and paste it into the new FoF (into Contents/Resources/data). Rename it to default.ttf

Step 5. If the game still doesn't work, or is buggy or something, grab the flame.svgs (there should be two) from FoF 1.1.324 (Contents/Resources/data) and paste it into the new FoF, into the same location you found the .svgs.

The only bug I've found is that when you change your video settings (IT WORKS FINE!) you need to press space and the game exits, when you re-enter the game you should be in full screen goodness. I cranked it up to 1280x800 with 8x anti-alias at 80 frames per second with HIGH setting and it seems to work great.

Good luck!

Oh, and as far as links to songs, try google'n "frets on fire songs" you will find tons.

I am about to try out the XBOX 360 guitar plugged into USB on the Mac and see if it works. If it doesn't I will post here a HOW-TO get it working...

Have fun! And don't forget, Guitar Hero III will be available for MAC in early November! Can't wait... Now I have to find room for a damned mini guitar in my laptop bag which is already pretty cluttered with a TV antenna, portable hard drives and such.

Hope this helps and you Macbook /pro owners can now Guitar Hero on the go!

Heroes: Mr Linderman IS Takezo Kensei

It just dawned on me. Mr Linderman IS Takezo Kensei.




Although the Legend of Kensei tells of his battle against a "white beard", I believe that is just to throw us off the truth.

Mr Linderman can apparently regenerate plants, but would he truly be so powerful in the midst of super powered humans if that was his only ability?

Kensei can spontaneously regenerate himself, and we believe come back from the dead as is insinuated when Hiro says "You Can't Die!!!" just before Kensei comes back to life. Is this perhaps Linderman's ability? Has the Gaijin Kensei lived for over 400 years and now lives in the guise of Linderman?

Oh...and IS LINDERMAN dead? I didn't see a funeral. Perhaps he has come back once again, maybe this time with a little extra brain damage that is permanent?


Also, I add to this that perhaps Linderman/Kensei does in fact end up marrying the Swordsmith's daughter. Is their offspring somehow connected to the show as well? Are the Petrelli brothers his grandsons and Momma Petrelli his daughter?

It would explain why Linderman wanted Nathan as part of the organization, he was perhaps trying to bring his grandson into the fold.

It's just a theory, but it all fits so far. If you have any more to add, please comment.

Oh, and here is the legend of Kensei from wiki:

The legend of Takezo Kensei
Hiro mentions the legend of Takezo Kensei many times in season one, though little is actually related until he trains fencing with his father in the episode "Landslide". Previously, in "Godsend" and "The Fix", Hiro mentioned that the sword -- which he was working to steal from Mr. Linderman -- helped Kensei focus his power. He also mentions that his father used to tell him stories of Kensei, presumably including the many that Hiro mention to Kensei in Season Two. When training with his father for his part in "saving the world" before the showdown with Sylar in New York, Hiro relates the story of "Kensei and the Dragon" and realizes that, if he wants to win, he must be strong enough to sacrifice himself.
In the 17th century, Japan was threatened to be torn apart by civil war; behind all of it was the warlord "White Beard." Kensei found a sword frozen in the snow. He was not, however, a good enough fighter to wield it, and, therefore, went to see the dragon of Kiso Mountain, who could teach him the sword's secrets. The dragon agreed to do this in exchange for Kensei's love. Knowing that Japan would fall under the rule of "White Beard" unless he took action, he had to agree to the dragon's demands even though he loved a princess.
After saving Japan in a great battle, the dragon came for his end of the deal. The dragon demanded the life of the swordsmith's daughter, the princess Kensei loved. Instead, Kensei cut out his own heart and handed it to the dragon, saying, "My love is in here. Take it," and he died.
According to the mockumentary "Sword Saint," presented on the official Heroes 360 website, after Kensei cut out his own heart, the dragon was touched by how much the warrior was willing to offer for his people and love, and restored the heart to him. Kensei then ran away with the princess.[3]
