Best way to run PowerPC game on Intel Mac

[Ben888]

Tried clearing NVRAM? Do you hold Option during boot up? The menu in System Preferences isn't guaranteed to work from older OS versions.
Is Rosetta working for your use case? – A virtual machine might also work for you

I did clear the NVRAM, and I do use the hold option trick as well. El Capitan will not show up after creating a Snow Leopard partition on my Mac Pro 3,1. It is very strange.

is that a call for help or a warning? Or both of it?

Probably a little of both. If anyone has an answer other than resetting the NVRAM or the option key boot thing (Neither of which worked for me, my computer still wouldn't recognize the El Capitan partition post snow leopard partition setup), I am definitely willing to give other things a shot.

I ended up not running the PowerPC OS X games that I wanted to run and just reverting to a single El Capitan partition. If someone has a way to make it work I would like to revisit some of those older games.

Try this in Terminal
(From Snow Leopard)

diskutil list
(Find the partition name of your El Cap disk)

sudo bless /dev/diskXsY

where X and Y correspond to the correct El Cap drive. Alternatively also try with --device and --setBoot flags. I forget exactly how the command needs to be specified

I figured out what my issue was. My snow leopard drive is up and running.

And the issue was?

I installed a "supplemental update" for OS X 10.6.8. Apparently my Mac didn't like that update. I omitted it and everything works.
