inversed rosetta (transitive QuickTransit (bought out by IBM)
i know im probably getting annoying with my questions, but hey, its the beer talkin. 🙂 gotta love rocky mountain kool-aid!
i read on google about transitives' QuickTransit software, which supposedly could run x86 apps on PowerPC, at near native speed. they had a demo of it running a version of Quake 2 for x86 on a PowerBook G4, and according to that article, you could not tell a difference between the Dell next to it. its the same technology that Rosetta is based on.
I am beginning to see the limitations of this G5, but want to keep it in service as long as I possibly can. was QuickTransit ever released for consumer use? I would be willing to pay for it, within limitations. if it would cost over lets say 100 bucks then screw it haha, i could get a PC and hack it to get better result)
its just starting to get annoying, knowing how powerful this dual core G5 is, yet I am ALWAYS seeing the "not supported on this architecture:" error everywhere I go. even the new version of Skype is Intel only!!
do I have any options other than getting an Intel Mac? (To me, Intel Macs are not true Macs, since any hacker can turn his cheap homebuilt PC into a " Hack Pro" ) and have better performance and less money spent than me.
