This is the error received trying to access the old launcher at http://minecraft.net/download using Mac g5 10/5/8

McMacker4, yes I expect there is no way to get Java 1.6 running on this machine. Is there an older version of the launcher available? (Downloading old versions here http://minecraft.net/download gives an error too; see new attachment) Or some other option that doesn't involve me spending money for a new machine for my kid brother?

re error message: "no compatible version of Java 1.6+ is available" - file attached

The java preferences only shows Java 1.5 and 1.4, and 1.5 is selected. There is no option for 1.6. I am away from the computer but will provide a screen capture later. I'm using a mac g5 with a powerpc chip and have upgraded java as much as possible.

Hello, I am trying to install minecraft on a mac osx10.5.8 and the launcher MinecraftLauncher 1.0.1 gives the following error message, ""no compatible version of Java 1.6+ is available"

MCL-766 seems like the closest description of my issue but that bug report is closed and references this report MCL-90 for an answer. I attempted to find .minecraft/options.txt recommended above by Kumasasa but that file does not exist. (Likely because the launcher won't launch, and therefore hasn't created the folder.)

Can you recommend a remedy please?
