Note: This article is not about running Mac Classic directly on the Wii (e.g., with modified drivers). Instead, Linux is used to run a program called Mac-on-Linux (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.maconlinux.net" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.maconlinux.net</a>) that takes care of the hardware interfacing problem while utilizing the Wii&#x27;s PowerPC CPU natively, as it is very similar to a Mac G3 series CPU. Still, it is an interesting accomplishment.
