So I was looking through some old threads and apparently I stumbled upon one that revealed to me that during pcsx-r's early days there may have been a release for ppc. If so I was wondering which one it was cause I really wanna run ps1 games on my g3. Flarestorm is okay but its really buggy and according to the early forum even though its pretty old It has a lot of positive things to say about the early release:
Unfourtonately the early downloads are gone but if anyone can help me with this itd be immensively appreciated. Thanks and regards,
Thomas

http://web.archive.org/web/20100331...plex.com/releases/view/37759?DownloadId=98565 ultimately redirects to

I'm still downloading the archive from codeplex so can't tell yet if pcsxr-1.9.91-macosx-nodynarec.zip is inside that archive.zip

I found a site of the author but it ultimately also redirects to the codeplex page for the download.

Have a try with the links provided, HTH
 
for what I remember, the latest version for powerpc Macs was the 1.6 test version. It was very enjoyable for most games but it used to crash a lot, after 20 or 30 minutes of gameplay. @alex_free Maybe there's a way to compile a newer version?

I just followed your link https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/pcsx-for-mac-os-x-a-step-by-step-guide.970551/ and they mentioned ECM which is also no longer online so I searched for it also via the Wayback Machine.

The codeplex archive looks like an archive of the full website but there are releases zip files with the the full source-code.

I had trouble downloading from wayback machine so I found an alternative link here.
Scratch that, it's not powerpc. Bother I want to try it but, as previously said, wayback machine doesn't want to download it.
