I found my old Halo disk for Mac, but the problem is the program was meant to run on PowerPC architecture. Is there a good emulator that will allow me to run this program? PLEASE PROVIDE A LINK!!!! 
Got a tip for us?

Because Software Update doesn't do anything not made by Apple. Go to the Apple site and download the update (It'll be under games).
It's $5 and totally worth it if you want to play Halo on your new intel Mac:

I did it about 2 weeks ago.

Have you tried Halo on your Intel Mac (without any updates--just the original PPC version)?
Most PPC software runs just fine on Intel Macs, thanks to the built-in Rosetta PPC emulation.
Games, in my experience, run better (by better, I mean more usably) than other PPC applications. This is because of their dependence on graphics cards, rather than CPUs, which require no emulation.
That said, the Intel update would certainly be worth the $5.

It just opened, then fuzzed a bunch of colors, and then closed. And I would rather find a free solution...

You need the 2.0 update to play with most people nowadays anyway, the only free way would be stealing. Just go buy the 2.0 update for $5 and be done with it.
