Then, at the end of 2001, The Omni Group [http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/archive/omni-press/2001/000008.html released] a "Cocoa" (native OS X) build of the game which they had produced for free. This became known as the Omni build (now often referred to as the PPC build to differentiate it from the later Intel build). Their OS X builds (released through 2003) kept Oni stable on the latest Mac OS for several years. The last Omni build is still available [https://www.omnigroup.com/ftp/pub/software/MacOSX/10.1/Oni-1.0v1.36.dmg here]. However, as computers advanced, a critical bug appeared in both Windows and Mac Oni: the game would immediately crash while querying the graphics card at startup. Once a patch, made through hex editing, was figured out in Windows, it was carried over to the PPC build. Other patches were made in time to the PPC build; see [[AE:OMNI|HERE]] for details.
