I've wanted to run powermac apps for ages on my intel mac but it doesn't work, any ways i can 👿
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
You cannot. That ability ceased when 10.7.x was released. You either need to upgrade or replace the PPC apps you have.
By running Mac OS X 10.6 Server inside a product such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop; it can be bought by phoning the online Apple Store.

Thanks thats helped a lot but i may have to just run something like tiger because i don't wanna pay for a out of date os
Which "powermac apps" do you need to run?
It is not paying for an "out of date os;" it is paying $20 for Snow Leopard Server to be able to continue to access Rosetta on a modern Intel Mac.
For example, Appleworks running in Snow Leopard Server installed in Parallels for use in El Capitan:

Installing Snow Leopard Server into Parallels for DUMMIES:

You cannot buy it for cost reasons, or because you are in a country where Apple will not sell you Snow Leopard Server?
SLS is only $20 and you can obtain a 14 day trial version of Parallels from their website.
for reasuns involving my age if not i would by snow leopard server or probably a powerpc g3
OK: I understand completely! 🙂
I am glad you you continue to have a modern El Capitan Mac and are sophisticated in using it!
Which PowerPC apps do you want to test?

This option is not available for some PowerPC app users.
For example, many users of Freehand MX have no ability to "upgrade or replace the(ir) PPC apps."
Should they just abandon their library of graphic files that they spent many years and man-hours assembling?
Why do you insist on trying to attack me? I stated a truth, while there are work arounds they are not recommended, why not just let a dead dog lie sport. If you don't like what I post simply ignore them, otherwise you will continue to see your flaming posts removed.
Not knowing which PowerPC apps the OP uses, your "truth" was misleading, at best!
