I'm looking for a program that will allow me to run DOS or Windows on my iBook G3 (PowerPC). I'm hoping to be able to run Roller Coaster Tycoon (original) on this machine, but I can't find anything that is compatible with G3 hardware, and the darwine project seems to be long abandoned.

My G3 is running OS 10.4 if that helps.

EDIT: I thought I posted this in software, but I must have messed up. Sorry!

Considered VirtualBox?

I'd get RC2 if I were you... it doens't force you to unlock a bunch of parks, sandbox mode, almost clone of RC1 but with tons of upgrades and nice features.

Just went to the VirtualBox site, and they don't have support for PowerPC processors. Only i86 and AMD64 =(

Unless I misunderstand what I need, which is entirely possible.

VBox doesn't support DirectX anyways, which the game is, right?

Crossover Games or VMware Fusion
both work quite nicely.

Thanks for posting, but both of these only work on Intel based Macs.

Bootcamp and Parallels is all else I can think of, but they most likely need Intel as well.

I found out that VirtualPC was originally created for this very purpose, and although they don't sell the PPC version anymore, friends in Sweden have me covered.

Thanks for the help everyone!
