Classilla and TenFourFox – ports of the current Firefox web browser, optimized for Mac OS 9 (Classilla) and PowerPC Macs running OS X Tiger (TenFourFox). Get online with your vintage Mac! PrintToPDF – a free utility to create PDF files on classic Macs running System 7 through Mac OS 9. This is a handy way to keep the formatting of old. Specifications for the Apple Power Mac G5 tower design (discontinued in August 2006) Apple IBM had been concentrating on delivering high-performance, single-core PowerPC processors, this person said.

PowerPC Software

Take a look at what's available. We are sure you'll
find something to make your OS X experience better!
Just click on the title of the page you would like to visit ;)
Welcome to the PowerPC Archive, we hope you enjoy your stay!

Essentials

Here is where you find our recommended applications that are used on a day-to-day basis.

Utilities

Need some cool tools to do a bit more out of your Mac such as an alarm clock or benchmarks?
​

Productivity

Need a Word processor,
or get the full rundown on your stocks? Or sync files between computers?

Multimedia

So you want to watch that DVD you have next to you. Not a problem with a PPC! Still great for 720p!

Gaming

Have some downtime? Make the most of it and spend hours upon hours with these games.

Apple Downloads

Find updates for OS X. Such as Combo Updates (10.4.11, 10.5.8), QuickTime, iTunes, Java, iLife, iWork, and everything Apple!

Server Downloads

PowerPC Macs can still serve well as servers! File Sharing, Backups and NetBooting, we've found some software for you!

Customization

Want to make your Mac look like
a brand new Intel one with
themes, or screensavers?
We have a page just for that!

Shareware Apps

We tested shareware apps, however they can't be downloaded here. Don't worry, you can still find
some info out on them!
Companies no longer carry firmware downloads for CPU upgrades from companies such as Sonnet, PowerLogix, and GigaDesign.
Many requested a separate page specific to Tiger, since most of our selection here is for OS X Leopard. Coming Summer 2016

OS 9 Software COMING SOON

To support the old classic machines, we will soon have a
selection of software that will work with these OS9 Macs.
Coming Fall 2016

What Macs do you Own?

We posted a poll to see what computer has the most votes. While a G5 may be a decent day-to-day computer, the G3's are vintage and still can do some amazing things such as being the jukebox at a party or a kitchen computer, or go to extreme lengths and use them as your daily machine!
The list is a bit long, so why not fill the text here! Quite a few people still have Power Mac G5s kicking around, and quite a few people have iMac G3s around as well. That's our guess of what still has the most ground in the PowerPC World. The PPC Archive team ourselves has a variety of machines, ranging from iMac G3s, Blue and Whites, iBooks, PowerBooks, and G5 systems!
Some, still have Xserve computers that they use! Crazy thought, a rack server as a main PPC mac, but hey it's still a Mac! All the computers on the list to the right are cool, and each one pushed Apple further and further into the modern world. No other PC was designed like the early 2000 Apple computers. Today, there is a boatload of all in one computers like the current iMac. All the laptops out there are out to beat the 'ultrabook' MacBook Air. Companies such as Dell and HP attempt to steal the design that makes the MacBook Pro what it is. People look at the Mac mini as a excellent home computer or to make a super cool TV Media Center Setup, or even go to the extreme and use one as a server for 30+ iMacs! All of these design terms were the same during the PowerPC era of time!
At the end of the day, Apple is still the one to beat!

  1. Long-term support releases

Since 7.04 Ubuntu, PowerPC downloads of Ubuntu are not available on all Ubuntu mirrors. Below you'll find links to the ISOs on the main Ubuntu server, as well as, help on finding mirrors.

Please review the PowerPC FAQ and the PowerPC Known Issues pages before installing. All the information you need for a successful install should be in those pages, so make sure you check them out first before wasting your time and effort on needless internet searches. Please do tell somebody on the Apple forum if you think the instructions are unclear or are missing something, but it would be great if you could make the improvement yourself!

This is not an complete list (please add to it). Using the list of official CD mirrors and a bit of ingenuity traversing the mirror directory structures (for example, click on the Parent Directory/ or ../ link) you can probably find more mirrors that contain PowerPC releases. Most PowerPC ISOs are in a ports directory, but for others (e.g. 12.04) you can find them in the releases directory. Daily development builds can be found with other architectures in the daily/ (Alternate CD) or daily-live/ (Desktop CD) directories.
