One we featured recently was even built into the case of a Nintendo Wii. But Dandu has gone one better than that, by <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.journaldulapin.com\/2022\/11\/21\/wii-mac-linux\/\">running MacOS on an unmodified Wii, original Nintendo hardware<\/a> (French, <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www-journaldulapin-com.translate.goog\/2022\/11\/21\/wii-mac-linux\/?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en&amp;_x_tr_pto=wapp\">Google Translate link<\/a>).<\/p><p>How has this seemingly impossible task been achieved? Seasoned Mac enthusiasts will remember the days when Apple machines used PowerPC processors, and the Wii uses a PowerPC chip that&rsquo;s a close cousin of those used in the Mac G3 series of computers. Since the Wii can run a Linux-based OS, it can therefore run <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maconlinux.net\/\">Mac-on-Linux<\/a>, providing in theory an environment in which it can host one of the PowerPC versions of MacOS.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>So it&rsquo;s not really running MacOS 9.2.2 directly on the hardware, but it&rsquo;s close enough.
