I thing that first saw is on Android, where it was advertised as way to run Linux and Windows, probably someone tried to make quick buck from porting. Its like Limbo QEMU android emulator, just ported but …

And why they would test this particular games with Rosetta? Simply because these are best ones to make sense to invest time into testing.. If someone want endless hard to navigate list, he can try some legacy Mac preservation repository.. I already tried that and find one that this list is much …

This list is nice, because its selection of really good, tested games not some endless list without descriptions or my small navigation.. PPC is dead, so make no sense update it in general way.

Yeah im sure that 2D games existed, but it wasnt gamers mainstream, same as Flash games. So its "experimental" driver is what i used.. and described above, maybe someone had better experience.. these details are very old 2008, so something happened meanwhile - because if not, we would have now nice …

That's exactly as to why I loved Virtualbox so much. They used WineD3D to make an experimental 3D driver for Windows XP. Since it was essentially an Direct3D to OpenGL wrapper, it worked on about any host. Also, they had separate 2D acceleration. Most, if not all, of my 2D games using DirectDraw …
