Guitar Hero-esque Frets on Fire working on Mac OS X

Our Mac-obsessed brothers at TUAW pointed out that Frets on Fire -- the free, open-source music game that's more than a little bit like Guitar Hero (let's say it was heavily influenced by) -- is now available for Mac OS X. Before you all scream, "Who plays games on Mac OS anyways? LAWL!" we'd like to point out that the game was previously released for Mac OS ... it just didn't work. Now it's been updated and should be working. We've gotten some random crashes on a MacBook Pro, but otherwise it works great.
[Note: Interested gamers should use the Sourceforge mirror; we had some trouble with the download linked in their post.]

Nice game.
If it had 2 player, it would be awesome! Custom songs plus downloadable GHI and GHII songs on the same game is very cool, but its not the same without two player.

Great game, everyone should atleast try this since its free. Also if you know where to look you can find original guitar hero songs for this :) Oh and it also supports guitar so why bother paying for ps2 gh when you can get this and songs for free and you only have to buy guitar.

This won't open on my powerbook... just opens then closes. Weird...

To #6: I'm having the same issue as are a lot of other people apparently. At least, according to the comments on the updated version. Sounds like it may only run on Intel Macs.

Freetar Hero is better.

BklynKid, your joke was corny and obvious. But it still made me laugh pretty hard :)
