    Cool. Do you know if this project will support PowerPC-era Mac OS X apps or if that makes any difference? There are a bunch of quirky and fun games that could avoid being lost to time if an “emulator” can run them.

      Because power-pc is a different CPU architecture, those apps would require emulation or a VM I think. A VM is possible already I believe.
