How do you emulate PowerPC on an Intel Mac?
PowerPC Mac OS X apps are emulated transparently on Intel Macs. For "Classic" programs, you'll have to use an emulator like SheepShaver.
Can you use a Intel app on PowerPC Mac?
Yes and no. You can run Windows software on a PowerPC Mac using software such as VirtualPC for Mac or Q. A powerful Mac is required to do this as emulating a completely different CPU with a completely different architecture is VERY CPU taxing. However, running an Intel app on a PowerPC Mac is impossible. The code inside of the program is written for the Intel chipset and not PowerPC. If you find a "Universal" porgam, that means that there are two sets of code in that program, PPC and Intel.

Not Anymore. I recently downloaded AVP 2 for my mac however since I have a newer version mac, powerpc is no longer supported. If you have a mac that was made like 3 to 4 years ago, then you have a chance of still having powerpc running. Hope this helps :D
