[QUOTE="iHarrison, post: 1254870, member: 195020"] Oh, I know WINE is just for virtualising Windows processes within OS X (or Linux), I wasn't asking if it could be used to virtualise PowerPC processes on a Mac (or PC). I was just wondering if there was an open-source equivalent of Rosetta, that worked in a similar fashion to WINE (i.e. allowing one to run a PowerPC App in virtualisation without needing to install a full copy of OS X 10.6 or earlier in a virtual machine); and if not, why not? If there was, then it would seem like the obvious solution to the woes of people who want to upgrade to Lion, but also want to retain PowerPC Apps... [/QUOTE]
