I'm not sure why, but it appears that Fear and Loathing for OSX are still running PowerPC/Rosetta.

I checked my Activity Monitor for both and here's the results:

Here are my findings for the other Myth Apps I have:

- Myth I 1.5, PowerPC/Rosetta
- Myth II 1.7.1, Intel
- Myth III 1.3.1, PowerPC/Rosetta
- Ballistic 1.1, PowerPC/Rosetta
- Dialog Editor, Intel
- Oak, Intel
- OmniPatch, Intel
- Patchwork, PowerPC/Rosetta
- Soundblighter, PowerPC/Rosetta
- UnTag, Intel
- Vengeance 0.1, PowerPC/Rosetta

I don't think it's ever been said that these were Universal Binaries. Actually, I can't think of much reason anybody would bother to make them Universal (unless Apple were to someday remove Rosetta, I guess).

TFL updates would be pretty sweet (no, vTFL is not the same), but it seems like that ship has long since sailed.

Aren't they doing this with Snow Leopard? If not yet, they're certainly getting rid of PowerPC versions of all bundled apps, presumably gearing up to drop further support for PowerPC in OS X.

Rosetta is supported, but optional, in Snow Leopard.

My dream of running OS X on a POWER6 is rapidly slipping away.

Reverse Rosetta!
