My uneducated guess is that the problem is processor related, not OS or Xcode. I ran it successfully from that same folder as you on my G4 iBook running 10.4.11 (Server version albeit, but it seems from earlier screenshots you are also running Server?) Might not work on a G3 for whatever reason, but joevt would obviously have a better clue.
Got a tip for us?

I build the 10.4 - 10.5 version using Xcode 3.2.6 in 10.6.
The 10.6 - 10.8 version is built using Xcode 9.2 in 10.12.
The 10.9 - 13 version is built using Xcode 14.3 in 13.
10.6 was defaulting the ppc architecture to ppc7400 (G4) instead of ppc (G3). I think it should be fixed in the 1.2.1 release.
Here's my build commands:

Code:
#=========================================================================================
# Support
10.6
- For PowerPC Mac OS X 10.4 to Mac OS X 10.5.
- Last version to support PowerPC.
10.12
- For Intel Mac OS X 10.5 to OS X 10.8.
- Last version to support Mac OS X 10.4 and 32-bit.
- However, you need to have 32-bit in a separate binary for 10.4.
13
- For OS X 10.9 to macOS 13.
#=========================================================================================
# Notes
10.4.11
- 64-bit doesn’t work in 10.4 (because ApplicationServices.framework is only 32-bit).
10.5.8
- DisplayPort DPCD can be read only up to 00100h.
10.6.8
- Nvidia Kepler has no DisplayPort support and no display resolutions.
- Radeon HD 4870 can use Acer XV273K when it is set to DP 1.1 or 1.2 but not 1.4.
10.6.8, 10.7.5
- > 360MHz on Radeon HD 4870 (DP 1.1) in 10.6 and 10.7 are modified to < 360MHz modes like this:
41 41
42 40
43 35
44 29
45 24
46 --
10.7.5
- First Mac OS version to have Nvidia Kepler drivers. No web drivers.
- GTX 680 doesn’t like Acer XV273K (even when set to DP 1.1) but does like Dell P2415Q (4K only up to 30Hz though).
10.8.5
- GTX 680 doesn’t like Acer XV273K (won’t connect even when set to DP 1.1) but does like Dell P2415Q (4K60 after restart with Nvidia web drivers).
10.9.5
- GTX 680 doesn’t allow Dell P2415Q to go to 4K 60Hz even though it accepts the timing (4K only up to 30Hz though). Can do 5K35 and 4K60 on the Acer XV273K.
Lilu/WhateverGreen without OpenCore adds the following to AllRez output:
IOFBAttributes - Lists the latest get/set of each attribute in the order they occur.
IOFBInvalidModes - Lists modes that the IOFramebuffer examined aand rejected. These are modes that aren't skipped/rejected directly by CoreDisplay.
IOFBEDID0 - The EDID read by IOFramebuffer::getDDCBlock. It could be our EDID override.
# Notes
# - Can't run ppc after Snow Leopard.
# - Can't run ppc64 on Intel Mac.
# - Can't run Intel on Power Mac.
# - Can't run i386 after Mojave.
# - Can't run 13.2 SDK on 10.6 (C++ library missing).
# - Can't run Deployment Target that is greater than OS X version.
# - Don't run AllRez with endian mismatch between user and Window Server or kernel space.
# - Can't run ppc64 build on 10.4 because ApplicationServices.framework is only 32 bit.Here's some notes on all the AllRez Xcode projects. I only included the 3 projects required to build the included assets which are sufficient to support all Mac OS versions from 10.4 to 13 and all architectures.

}; // ALL MODESDoesn't appear to have any scaling capability. No upscaling or downscaling. Did you try adding some scaled resolutions of either type (less than 1024x768 and greater than 1024x768)?
The display supports 3 timings so maybe it could support other timings (not scaled modes)? Or the display could maybe only support those 3 timings, just as my 30" Cinema Display only supports 1280x800 and 2560x1600.
The 3 timings are standard timings, so if it can't support detailed timings (with active and blanking pixels and lines specified), maybe it could support other standard timings.
You mean, to the system itself? No. When I set up the modified OF command to be kept in nvram at boot, the priority was just making sure the system believed it was not a PowerBook2,2. It mostly works, though boot sequence renders as 800x600, tiling vertically, until WindowServer initializes.
I also haven’t desired to mess with resolution after the XGA display and the OF command was in place, mostly out of fear (likely unfounded). Displays.prefPane does, however, show three available resolutions (1024x768, 800x600, 640x480) and one refresh rate of 75 Hertz (with 60 Hertz greyed out, ostensibly because Graphics/Displays in System Profiler suggests the LCD is a CRT).
That said, I can say that when I launched Civilization III over the weekend, to test whether it would run, the system unquestionably dropped to 800x600 or even 640x480 for the initial video sequence (in that weirdly blurry effect of running a low resolution on a higher-res monitor whose pixel conversion isn’t 1:1 or even 2:1) , before the screen blacking out momentarily, to return to 1024x768, to show the main menu. So I know the modified setup can handle changes to screen resolution, and when it dropped to whatever that intro move, the lower res rendering looks fine (i.e., doesn’t do that vertical tiling effect during boot-up).
Does this help with addressing what you were wondering/observing from that report? Or should I be trying some other tests/experiments, as well?
I think @Amethyst1 knows how the pupils of my eyes glaze over into CRT static when discussion of screen timings get brought into the discussion. I have no idea to what any of the above translates for things like screen timings or pixel clocks.
I’ll just nod my head gamely here — pun not intended — and go, “Sure, I guess,” as this is realm not in my wheelhouse at all.
SwitchResX 3.8.7 can be used to add custom timings and scaled modes and standard modes to a display.
Custom timings let you adjust blanking pixels and pixel clock. vertical refresh rate is pixel clock divided by total pixels. horizontal refresh rate is pixel clock divided by total horizontal pixels. Active pixels are the visible pixels. Blanking pixels are those between the end of one line or frame and the next.
A scaled mode is just a scaling that macOS applies to timings that have the base resolution. In your case the base resolution is 1024x768. The scaled mode can be an upscale mode which is < 1024x768 scaled up to 1024x768. It can be a downscale mode which is > 1024x768 scaled down to 1024x768.
A standard mode is a mode from the list of standard modes (usually modes that were used with CRTs).
These custom timings and scaled modes and standard modes are stored in the Display overrides in one of these locations depending on the macOS version and version of SwitchResX.
/System/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides
/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides
/System/Library/Displays/Overrides
A display override file is a plist file which you can edit with PlistEditor.app or Xcode, depending on the version of macOS.
Apple displays have vendor ID 610 so Apple display overrides will be in the DisplayVendorID-610 folder. Your display will be the file with the latest modification date. Later versions of SwitchResX for later versions of macOS will use a name for the override file that includes the year and month of manufacture of the display instead of the product ID.
Custom timings are stored as an item in the
dspc array unless the pixel clock > 655.53 MHz, in which case the custom timing needs to be defined in an EDID override as a detailed timing in a DisplayID extension block.Scaled modes are stored as an item in the
scale-resolutions array.Standard modes are stored as an item in the
tovr array.The display override file can override other stuff such as display name.
