Use PowerPC applications on Intel based MacBook Pro

I have a 2019 MacBook Pro 16'' and I need to use some PowerPC apps on it. Is there any way to do that? Every time I open a PowerPC app my Mac says "PowerPC apps are no longer supported"


Thanks!

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.0

Hi Vivek_Support,


Sorry, no. PowerPC chips were used in Macs in and before 2005. They are very old technology that differs from Intel, and now Apple Silicon. They were last supported in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, now 12 years old.


Cheers,


Jack
