    nope. they are compiled for ppc architecture.

    absolutely no way. your nearest best is linux.

    my brother runs mac os 7.5.5 / (or 7.5.3 I'm not too sure) using gemulator from www.emulators.com - mac os 7.5.3 is a free 20mb download from apple, but you'll need some rom images taken from a real mac (which you should own for it to be legit).

    yep. there are a number of mac emulators out there, and i think macos 8 is as high as you can run with them.

    apple wrote macos for intel architecture when unsure about where to go after their awful g4 chips. ibm's power chips came through, so all code related th intel macos was sealed in a concrete cube & fired into the sun...

    I believe the emulators will emulate anything before the PPC processors.
