If you own and PPC Mac with 1GHz or more chances are good that Hibernation will work on your machine. Some machines do need the NVRam patch. That means that there are some values then stored in the no-volatile ram of the computer to say it's hibernate capable. When the os boots up it checks for those values. The software currently tests for machines>=1 GHz to enable NV-Ram patching. It is known that some machines don't sleep at all, some won't start up their fans when hibernation is enabled. In case something goes wrong disable hibernation by resetting the NV-Ram (Hold down CMD-ALT-P-R when booting).
In any case use this software at own risk. There might be a reason why apple enables hibernation only on newer machines.

Filling a gap that Apple should have

While hibernation may be worth having to some, it annoys me to no end. If you read the developer's site, you will understand why he updated this and released this -
1) we don't have alternate batteries and won't be swapping, and more importantly
2) we HATE the lengthy delay to sleep.
I am a longtime Powerbook user and have always enjoyed the nearly instant sleep/wake aspect of the machine. After upgrading to a intel 'book I was stunned by how long it took for the light to begin pulsing, letting me know the computer / hard drive was sleeping and I could safely put it in my bag. If you read Apple's support forums, you can see lots of postings from people with premature deaths to their hard drives, and lots of speculation that moving the computer before the drive truly sleeps is the culprit.
While I figured out how to change this 'feature' in the terminal (pmset and hibernatemode) myself, this is a great GUI to allow anyone to access these settings. Frankly, Apple should have done this themselves. Kudos to you!

In the Readme file, it says you need a Mac with a 1 GHz or better processor, which excludes all of my current systems. Would have loved to try it though
