If the processor in the GameCube and Wii are PPC based, why no development on PPC Mac?

Because the whole core should be rewriten to do that ( we are already translating PPC -> x86 , also the Mac PPC could have unimplemented instructions or things like that )

MB : MSI Z68A-GD80
CPU : Intel Core i7 2600k @ 3.4 GHz (stock clock)
Gfx : ATI Raedon HD 6850
Ram : 4 GB DDR3-1333
OS : Windows XP x86
