Is it possible to run a version of Mac OS on a GameCube? I know you can run linux on the GameCube. Couldn't you run Mac-On-Linux within linux? The speed shouldn't be all that bad either considering it runs a PowerPC processor. Just a thought. One would think it would be possible to run Mac OS on the next xBox because won't it be based on the PowerPC architecture as well? Should be interesting!

    Doubtful, but it *would* be really neat if you could run Mac OS on the Xbox 28)

    Since wishes have flippers all of a sudden. Can I have Virtual GameStation 2? I'd love to play my PS2 games at the office. Sweet.

    It does have a G3 variant, and an ATi Chipset (actually designed by another company that was bought by ATi just before the Gamecube launch) but apart from that I'm afraid there are no similarities.



    Also, I doubt running OS X on a system without a hard drive is probably not feasible at this time.



    Perhaps on next-gen hardware like the Xbox2 it might be possible, however they say it won't have a hard drive (video game makers too afraid of piracy). I guess we'll have to wait and see.
