[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1604359, member: 56379"] Your initial question was do older PPC apps use the .dmg format for software installs. And the answer is yes. Finding older PPC apps is a different story. - Firstly...not many installers for PPC apps are going to still be around due to age (we're talking 8 years since the last PPC based Mac). - Second...you may be able to find some PPC apps on some older "PPC enthusiast" websites. But many of these apps will be free apps (not pay-for apps). - Thirdly. Pay for PPC's are going to be harder to find...since companies aren't going to keep selling REALLY old software forever!;) Gotta check eBay. - Forth...have you even done some decent internet searching for PPC's apps?? How about entering "PPC Mac Software" into a search engine. You will come up with lots of stuff...like this:;) [url=http://www.pure-mac.com]Pure Mac: Software for Macintosh[/url] - Nick [/QUOTE]
