Front Row on Any Mac (Video, Photos)
Several readers have noted that a hacked version of Apple's Front Row application is being distributed over the internet.
Apple released Front Row as an iMac only application on October 12th. The media application allows users to manage their Videos and Songs with the new iMac's included remote control.
Many have seen this as Apple's first step into the media-PC arena. At the moment, however, Apple has only shipped Front Row with new iMacs and does not officially offer the application to non iMac-users.
A video demonstrating Front Row on a Mac Mini is shown here.

This Front Row.app has been cracked to skip the remote check and should idle in the background once loaded.

Wow, that's pretty cool... but also illegal as iGary is hinting at. :p I would try it, but I would have no use for this without a remote.

I can confirm it works. Although you can tell it was made to work with a remote.:o
Cool mod:
create apple script---
tell application "System Event"
tell application "Front Row" to activate
key code 53 using command down
end tell
--then compile and save.
Use an app like Xkeys to assign a key to launch the applescript. Takes about a second.5 to launch.

I would most definately download it if I had the remote...otherwise its just stupid. Hopefully apple will come out with some type of usb remote or one that works via bluetooth.

Yup, it works. :D
But, damn it can be slow to load some stuff. I think it has to launch the app to load content from it.
Anyone have trouble playing music? I keep getting an error.

It was definitely slow to load my photos and I got an error trying to play music from iTunes. Why cant Apple just sell this stuff and gimme a damn Bluetooth remote? :rolleyes:

I couldn't get it to work. :confused:
I did everything it said, rebooted, double checked to see if I put everything in the right place, then rebooted again. The app opens but nothing happens.
