install gentoo

perhaps this...

try OpenMW?

and that operating system can run morrowind?

Any Linux OS should be able to play Morrowind with either WINE or OpenMW.

any os that runs wine can run morrowind user

Why would you want to play that stupid game anyway? Applel is doing you a favour.

even linux on powerpc ,

N'wah

OpenMW is still a thing?

was it for Powerpc ?

it's almost finished
it is already runs better than original
you can finish the game without a problem
one of the rare fan projects that amounted to something, bless them

Do you know if it runs on power pc

I thought they stopped because bethesda sued them or something

Tbh they couldve coded a whole new game from scratch in that time frame

SpringRTS is another one.

Started as a 3D remake of Total Annihilation and now it's an engine that powers a good amount of nice games.

kys for having a mac and playing shitty vidya

still nobody has told me if its possible to run morrowind

>Morrowind
>shitty

openmw has pacckages for powerpc on debian

packages.debian.org/sid/openmw

Fallout 4 is the best RPG released in the last millennium

Morrowind
shitty

Why would Bethesda sue them? They are not using any assets or registered trademarks, it's just an engine reimplementation and you need original game data files for it to even work.

They did not get sued. They just had to promise to not show Morrowind running on any non-PC platforms (android), because of some licensing issues it could cause for them.

...

is morrowind on android?

this is a thread about morrowind running on a powerpc mac

Yes you need to compile it but it works

what about ps vita?

I should release morrowing ding for android for money.

they told you faggot.
Use linux and run wine or most preferably openMW
Damn you macidiots

will it run well ? have you tried it

Yes. Openmw is flawless
From wikipedia:
>Since 2016, all of the quests, classes, races, and other character choices of Morrowind and its official expansions and add-ons are fully playable in OpenMW, though it remains in extended beta testing as of 2017. Most third-party mods that are not dependent on any MS Windows executables and which are free of serious scripting syntax errors are also compatible with OpenMW.

They also have a f'ing world editor, so you can mod the f'ing brains out of the game.
They have created almost all tools bethesda has used to make the game.

no i mean have your tried openmw on powerpc

No, i've never tried it on ppc, but i've tried it on linux.
The package is available for ppc on debian at least, so you just need to install it and provide the data files.
packages.debian.org/search?keywords=openmw&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all

Redevelop Morrowind to be playable on PPC architecture under Linux.

are you telling me to do that?

...

I'm telling you to kill yourself

Have you tried linux on powerpc?
Is it better?

You guys are even bigger losers than R9k

Which is better?
An decade old unsupported os or a 2017 os that has full support?
I've tried linux on ppc, it's the same, apart from several packages that rely heavily on x86 asm blobs and are unavailable on ppc.

can it run windows software at normal speed

Last I checked, openmw devs said "fuck that" to a PPC port. Have they actually done it?

No, because windows programs need a h/w abstraction to translate x86 asm to ppc.
You don't do that on amd64 linux boxes, because the cpu runs natevily those instructions.
Even if you manage to run x86 programs on ppc, you'll get a huge performance hit.
Openmw will run morrowind natevily on ppc, as it does on amd64 linux.

By ppc you/he mean/s macos ppc, because there are linux distros with openmw available on ppc

so openmw will run fine on a powerbook g4 with linux

can gentoo unironically compile openmw for ppc?

packages.debian.org/sid/openmw
use debian or gentoo with openmw ,or just use wine.

mac ppc is pretty old at this point, linux ppc should be pretty simple to do

which one do i install ?

wine isn't an emulator/virtual machine, you can't run x86 programs under wine without an x86 cpu
you can run x86 wine in an x86 chroot using qemu-user, but i'm not sure about graphics accelleration with this method
and it won't be very quick, since you need to emulate a cpu in software

G4's are 32bit, so "PPC" (not PPC64)

Yes.
In general, everything that has openmw compiled for it, can run morrowind fine.

so the middle one?

Openmw is great. I get well over 60fps even with nouveau

no, the top one, they're;
1. 32bit PPC cpu
2. 64bit PPC cpu with 32bit userland
3. 64bit PPC cpu with 64bit userland

thanks user

PPC isnt highlighted on openmw?

I meant Linux PPC. OpenMW on PPC Linux confirmed?

it might have just not been tested
it might work anyway, remember these are sources you're dealing with, not binaries
in many cases, software is written in a portable way, meaning that the source isn't written for one specific kind of cpu
a binary is compiled for a specific kind of cpu, but portable source code might work just fine on multiple cpus, without needing to change anything

is openmw the whole game or do i need to insert them into mw

linux supporting x86 and ppc, and openmw supporting linux doesn't automatically mean openmw can be compiled and run on ppc linux, i doubt openmw contains any critical cpu-specific code, such as inline x86 asm, however, there might still be assumptions made that can get in the way of compiling on non-x86 cpus, even something as simple as a check to see if you have either a 32bit or 64bit x86 cpu, and having it fail when it finds neither

openmw is a recreation of the morrowind engine
you still need to provide the rest of the game assets, such as from your original cd

Go to Sup Forums macfag gamer kiddie.

can't believe it took this long for someone to say WINE is NOT an emulator.
>huehuehue macidiots just run linux with wine hueuheuhe whads a brocessor no broblem

there was only a 5 minute gap between the first mention of wine and the response
OP didn't mention wine

uh so it wont run mw at full speed on a powerpc

I never said OP mentioned wine, 4 other anons did

github.com/OpenMW/openmw/releases

>it wont run
you could have just stopped there

i only see 2, the others might have been filtered on my end

wine won't, or rather, qemu won't, the only way you're getting x86 wine to run on a ppc is through qemu-user, which can emulate an x86 cpu for wine to run on
however, openmw can be compiled for linux native, it doesn't use or need wine, suggesting wine is if you're trying to run the original windows morrowind engine

oh. i thought they were recreating the assets as well. then again, there are plenty of other people doing that already.

since Morrowind is pretty much available on Linux now, I think I can now finally live without Windows.

>the only way you're getting x86 wine to run on a ppc is through qemu-user
I thought that isn't working for ppc at the moment?

Sell PPC shit and get a used x86 problem solved.

i'm not sure about qemu-user's support on a ppc host
that's a bit beside the point, though, the point being that x86 wine won't run on anything besides an x86 cpu, be it emulated or not
now, wine could be compiled for other architectures, but that won't help you play morrowind, as a theoretical ppc wine would only be able to run ppc windows programs, of which morrowind is not one of

my dad bought it for me when i was 10, im never getting rid of it
