Hello I am going to run Front Row on my G4 using Download Enabler 1.2.2 
http://www.andrewescobar.com/frontrow 
Will I be able to run your Remote Buddy 1.0 also ?

Thank you

Did try using Remote Buddy on my G4 MIniMac with working Front Row via Enabler 1.2.2

And all I got was ....

Could not get access.

Another application may currently be using the Apple Remote exclusively. Please quit that application and then use the Remote Buddy icon in the menu to activate it.

Another possible cause for this error is that your computer does not support an Apple Remote.

Will Remote Buddy work on a G4 ?

Hello Peter,

this may work in the future with additional hardware and an extended 
RB concept.

There's no G4 Mac model that supports remote controls in factory 
configuration.

Hello Peter,

Remote Buddy is a Universal Binary and as such can run on any PPC and 
Intel Mac capable of running OS X 10.4.6.

However, you still need the necessary remote control hardware in 
order to use Remote Buddy, which no G4 Mac currently has.

It's easy to get the PPC to run Front Row with this remote. 
Keyspan URM-17A or there is a number of other remotes that will work.

See http://www.andrewescobar.com/frontrow

The software patch ENABLER 1.2.2 will let me run Front Row on a PPC

I just need to be able to run your software so I can buy it.

What makes it hard to support the Keyspan adapter is the fact that it 
is a hardware-only solution. It emulates the keystrokes on what looks 
to the system like a regular USB keyboard. That is, an application 
can not distinguish between a press on the remote's button and a 
press of the cursor keys on your keyboard.

I do have an idea, but need to do some more research and testing 
before I can say whether it will work or not. More on this as I know 
it :-)
