Hi,

AFAIK there is not ARM emulation? And as for PPC, yes it works; but the
issues are hardware (graphics cards) If you want to emulate PPC, then [1]
has the details.

As and when ARM QEMU comes on-line, I'll be happy to look into it. IMHO,
asking intel type based computers to emulate the hardware of non-intel type
computers is a none starter, just as we found when a major bug. This still
exists [2] was missed by our use of PPC emulation (Note also, how old it is
from being picked up by hardware testers). I'm still hopeful.....

Regards,

Phill.
