Hold on, hold on, before you call me an idiot, let me just say that there are still many people (including myself) who use PowerPC Macs. But for me, I mostly have no use for it other than some open source basic video editing and photo editing software. I mean, yes, there are individual emulators for each system on the PPC, well some of them, but I've always just preferred Vizzed. There may be a couple of problems, like the DC emulator not working because I've never seen a supported Uni-binary/PPC version of a DC emulator, but, it would still work with everything else.

This probably wont happen because it'd cost too much money to update the plugin. I think there is a way you can use the plugin by emulating windows on your mac, but I'm not sure if that would work.

I was expecting that. I haven't seen any Windows emulators for PPC macs around, I feel like I'm the last one on earth trying to keep the PPC alive ;|

I believe there is a PC emulator for Power PC then you would use that to run WINE.
Its a bit of a round about method, but it seems to be the only solution...

Edit:
Read a bit more into it...

Vanelan : Yeah but that only runs on Intel Macs, I believe due to the fact that there were only 2 Windows OSes supported by PPC, NT 3.51, and NT 4 (I think)

supersonicracing123 :
I misread a forum post.
I edited my original post, but there seems to be an obsoleted PC emulator called VirtualPC for PPCs.

Vanelan : I think that only supports up to XP Pro, but I'm not sure, I'll try and see if Windows 7 will run. Thanks.

I'd be interested to know if it does work, so post your results. :3

Vanelan : Actually, I just saw on a Mac dedicated website (everymac.com) that it only supports up to XP Pro. But I am seeing videos that it is possible to run it by installing a PPC version of linux, and using QEMU, but, it takes up to 6-7 minutes (even on fast machines) to start up Windows and another 3 for launching an application, like Chrome. :/
Edit if theres a linux port of Vizzed, I could try running it with a PPC Linux OS.
