When early reports of developer beta builds of Snow Leopard surfaced, Apple neither clarified nor commented on the further PPC support of OS X beyond Leopard.But when the golden master was handed out it was clear and communicated by then that support for PPC was finally dropped.
Things rested for years at that point (at least to my knowledge; Apple engineers knew better for sure). Then, mid-March 2020 I was hinted to a tweet by tescosystem2048 who posted a screenshot of a working SL-PPC. ![]() For more information, watch the 6 minute video walkthrough of the process above. A copy of a developer build of 10.6 (server or client) will be needed, in addition to a handful of original kernel extensions from 10.5.8, a USB drive (or even better, a firewire hard disk), and a helper system in form of a Mac capable of running 10.6 out-of-the box (e.g., MacBook 1,1 to 4,1, etc.). Snow Leopard 10.6.0 Dmg License Key WillIn addition, if the installer of a server build is used, then at some point a license key will be needed to finalize the installation. Snow Leopard 10.6.0 Dmg Mac OS X Snow LeopardSuitable Mac OS X Snow Leopard build(s) The search currently goes on for intermediate PPCIntel builds of Snow Leopard, but at present, the version proven to work are the builds 10A96 (server dev preview) and 10A190. There was probably a working build of 10A96 for clients, but this for now remains elusive (these would be labelled something like User DVD or User Installer). Between the 10A96 build and the Golden MasterGM (10A432) are several releases which we are looking for. If and when these become available for testing, we can check them for their PPC compatibility. It may be also possible to add support for G4-upgraded PowerMac 8500s and other pre-G3 PowerMacs. Macs with G3 (or lower) CPUs will most certainly be ruled out here (i.e. PowerBook G3 or iBook G3). Snow Leopard 10.6.0 Dmg Mod Terminal CommandsCheck and correct the file permissions to rootwheel xxx x-x x-x via chownchmod terminal commands, or use the great handy tool, BatChmod. This is all best done with a more recent OS, but generally it should be feasible to do on a PPC running Leopard. Have not tried this and done it on Catalina.) If all is done right, then this installer volume should be bootable on G4G5 machines.
