Actually it simulates PPC as well.
The reason for running inside a simulation is so that you don't have to overwrite the existing OS, or write a bootloader to select from multiple OSes. But you are correct Tomas, it could potentially run natively on the Mac.

Man, sorry for the comment i made earlier. Ive been looking for a ppc emulator for a while now. Ive even looked at QEmu before, and didnt notice that it did more than x86! Thanks for pointing that out.
A friend of mine and i are writting a simple kernel for the ppc arch. I know that pear pc can run ppc code, but it seems pretty centered on running OSX and we dont want to use a simulator that focuses on pretty much one OS. Looks like i'll be trying that app out
