Probobly a dumb question

I searched through this section and found guy who claimed he's making the PPC port for Android.

Assuming that he wasn't trolling and he also made a fully working armv7 emulator for PPC to run Google Play apps. Are G5 quads going to run modern Android games at reasonable speeds?

I really love emulators.

It's possible, but as far as I know, the port was abandoned due to lack of interest.

I don't think anyone would like to play temple run with a mouse on a PPC Mac

Well, I don't believe it was a project shooting for gaming, but rather to perhaps better equip PPC Macs with more recent and lighter software to help cope with today's computing world.

There were a few efforts:
http://www.androidppc.com/
https://code.google.com/p/ppcdroid/

But neither even attempted to get it working on a Mac, only on small-form-factor embedded PowerPC systems. (One project targeted the IBM PowerPC 460ex processor, which was never used on any Mac. The other targeted three specific embedded-PPC systems.)

And neither project even attempted an ARM emulator to run existing Android apps, you had to custom-compile your apps for PPC. Which means no Google Play or closed-source apps from major vendors. (Sorry, no Angry Birds.)
