I heard that it's possible with a hack to be able to install mountain lion on a power Mac G5? Is this possible?

Never going to happen, sorry. People have had success getting it running on older Intel machines that are not supported though.

Nope, even Snow Leopard won't run with all the hacks in the world on a G5, because it doesn't contain the PPC code necessary.

I changed my mind, it IS possible:

If you use the right hardware, you can turn it into a hackintosh that is still 'apple labeled', allowing you to install OS X.

(facepalm)

ppcg5 was droped at 10.6 your two versons to late.

That's still not a G5, no matter what you put in the case. The PowerPC G5 processors will not, under any circumstances, run 10.8.

No, because its not a an artificial barrier, apple has not included the PPC code in OSX since 10.5.

If you have a G5, your only option is to upgrade to a new computer if you want to use Mountain Lion
