Welcome to the PowerPC Archive, we hope you enjoy your stay!

It isn’t a secret that Apple is killing support for Rosetta in OS X Lion 10.7 the first version of OS X that won’t support the PowerPC platform and apps designed to run on it. Download latest (newest) and older versions of free software. OldApps is the largest software archive. Safe and fast downloads for Windows, Mac and Linux apps. FinderPop 2.5.7. Right in the middle of 2018, I’m doing my standard search for PowerPC apps and found FinderPop which has brought a whole new life to my “pretty” and “powerful” 15 year old Mac computer.

Essentials

Here is where you find our recommended applications that are used on a day-to-day basis.

Utilities

Need some cool tools to do a bit more out of your Mac such as an alarm clock or benchmarks?

Productivity

Need a Word processor,
or get the full rundown on your stocks? Or sync files between computers?

Multimedia

So you want to watch that DVD you have next to you. Not a problem with a PPC! Still great for 720p!

Gaming

Have some downtime? Make the most of it and spend hours upon hours with these games.

Apple Downloads

Find updates for OS X. Such as Combo Updates (10.4.11, 10.5.8), QuickTime, iTunes, Java, iLife, iWork, and everything Apple!

Server Downloads

PowerPC Macs can still serve well as servers! File Sharing, Backups and NetBooting, we've found some software for you!

Customization

Want to make your Mac look like
a brand new Intel one with
themes, or screensavers?
We have a page just for that!

Shareware Apps

We tested shareware apps, however they can't be downloaded here. Don't worry, you can still find
some info out on them!

Companies no longer carry firmware downloads for CPU upgrades from companies such as Sonnet, PowerLogix, and GigaDesign.

Many requested a separate page specific to Tiger, since most of our selection here is for OS X Leopard. Coming Summer 2016

OS 9 Software COMING SOON

To support the old classic machines, we will soon have a
selection of software that will work with these OS9 Macs.
Coming Fall 2016

What Macs do you Own?

We posted a poll to see what computer has the most votes. While a G5 may be a decent day-to-day computer, the G3's are vintage and still can do some amazing things such as being the jukebox at a party or a kitchen computer, or go to extreme lengths and use them as your daily machine!
The list is a bit long, so why not fill the text here! Quite a few people still have Power Mac G5s kicking around, and quite a few people have iMac G3s around as well. That's our guess of what still has the most ground in the PowerPC World. The PPC Archive team ourselves has a variety of machines, ranging from iMac G3s, Blue and Whites, iBooks, PowerBooks, and G5 systems!
Some, still have Xserve computers that they use! Crazy thought, a rack server as a main PPC mac, but hey it's still a Mac! All the computers on the list to the right are cool, and each one pushed Apple further and further into the modern world. No other PC was designed like the early 2000 Apple computers. Today, there is a boatload of all in one computers like the current iMac. All the laptops out there are out to beat the 'ultrabook' MacBook Air. Companies such as Dell and HP attempt to steal the design that makes the MacBook Pro what it is. People look at the Mac mini as a excellent home computer or to make a super cool TV Media Center Setup, or even go to the extreme and use one as a server for 30+ iMacs! All of these design terms were the same during the PowerPC era of time!
At the end of the day, Apple is still the one to beat!

Macintosh Garden – great site for old Mac games, system software and abandoned applications Macintosh Repository – a sanctuary for old software of the classic Mac OS era Mac GUI – customize your Mac’s look and feel with Themes, Desktops, Icons, Widgets, etc. It was originally released as a standalone game in 2008 and we still cannot talk about the best free games for Mac without mentioning Team Fortress 2. TF2 is a team-based first-person shooter developed by Valve. Unlike other Blizzard games on this list, which are free to a certain extent, Hearthstone is completely free on all platforms and you can easily transition between your Windows, Mac, iOS or Android device using the same profile.

I only remember that one of the others was Marathon because I only ever played Abuse on a regular basis. I tried Marathon a couple times and gave it away along with all the others besides Abuse.

(1.5) If you like first person shooters, and have never played this game, then you’re really missing out. The requirements are a G4 800 MHz and a 32MB vid card. It’s OS X only, and although it will play on Radeon 7500 and lower, I recommend an 8500 or higher. Quality game and quality graphics, so you really can’t go wrong.

As a nameless ninja in the present day, you’ll have to complete many challenging levels. They are all linear, but they offer plenty of different routes and ways to advance. You can hide, kill, or do a combination of both.

Because a nation cannot excel everywhere, you will need to make some decisions. Should you strive for a strong economy or a powerful military? EU 4 is a real simulation and puts the world’s history at your fingertips.

Riot Games, the developer, invests a lot of time and effort to constantly update the game and introduce new champions and rotating game modes, so you’ll surely never get bored. In order to run the game, you’ll require a Mac running OS X 10.8.5 or higher, with a 2GHz processor, at least 2GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT or better GPU. The game manages to run on Intel HD graphics as well, but the experience won’t be as good as you’d expect.

Making Windows Region-Free Now if you want to try the Windows solution, we aren’t in the clear yet. You will need an application called DVDRegion+CSSFree or one of its equivalents. This little program cost me $19.95 about five years ago and has been upgraded many times (for free) since then. This is a one-trick-pony that is sorely needed in an OS X version. Simply put, when you insert a DVD movie into your drive, this program reads it before the OS and then tells the OS that it’s region 1 (or whatever region you select).

Well, SOMA is the latest horror game from that same developer, and in my opinion, it’s their best game yet. SOMA is a first-person shooter that takes place in an underwater research facility. It’s Rapture meets the Nostromo, and that’s the best part of the game.

EVE also features amazing space battles and an endless supply of ships. There are are small little jumpers but also giant vessels, some larger than entire cities. After ten years of steady growth and 20 free expansions, EVE Online isn’t going anywhere. If you like space combat, you should definitely give it a shot. As with most MMOs, EVE Online’s Mac version does require some horsepower to run.

Because this is a free-to-play game with good graphics, this is the game I recommend if you’re wondering what your machine is capable of. Valve did a great job with Team Fortress 2’s Mac port and
