Quote:Someone asked about running Dolphin on a PPC-based Mac because it used PPC, and then someone rejected the idea saying that it wasn't the same PPC, just the same micro-architecture series.
That's the exact opposite of the truth.
It's the same ISA (or rather a similar ISA) but a different microarchitecture (although the microarchitecture is heavily based on the G3 series microarchitectures).
It poses the same issue as above though. A lot of dolphin would need to be completely rewritten, debugged, and optimized. And the hardware used by PPC macs is so old that it would probably still be painfully slow.
