WHAT?S THIS?

A Clouded Leopard is a nickname for the Mac OS X Snow Leopard
Developer Previews (DPs), released between June 2008 and late 2008,
which were found to be Universal Binaries. With minor modifications,
these DPs install and run on later G4 and G5 PowerPC Macs. Despite
this, Apple clarified soon after releasing its first DP at WWDC 2008
that PowerPC Macs would not be supported once Snow Leopard went on
sale.

That first DP, Build 10A96, Darwin 10.0.0d1, is generally the most
PowerPC-friendly, out-of-the-box, of the known Snow Leopard Universal
Binary DPs.

The [Build 10A190 Developer Preview][1] of Snow Leopard (Darwin
10.0.0d2), released October 2008, was also found to boot and launch
successfully on PowerPC Macs, but a sizeable portion of PowerPC code
had been removed by Apple. On Build 10A190, certain components needed
for stability and overall functionality were compiled only for Intel
architectures. Community-based efforts to recompile these components
for PowerPC use are ongoing.

Build 10A222, released early 2009, manages to boot partially on a
PowerPC Mac, but Finder and most prefPanes are Intel only. So far, no
one has been able to successfully reach WindowServer or SystemUIServer
on a PowerPC Mac with this DP. This and subsequent builds are archived
on this page, despite the focus increasingly being directed at Intel
Macs. Even during late development, the xnu mach kernel continued to
be a Universal Binary.

A [robust community WikiPost project][2] on MacRumors? PowerPC Macs
forum is thoroughly testing these Snow Leopard DPs. Along the way,
this community has come up with several usability tweaks to aid in
making Snow Leopard on PowerPC Macs a better user experience.

The above MR WikiPost should be bookmarked as a handy desk reference
when testing a Clouded Leopard on your own Mac(s).

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are new to this project, you should expect any
DP version of Snow Leopard to be alpha-level software: buggy, but
following the MR community?s tips should help to remedy several
stability issues.

FOR 10A96:
To get Build 10A96 running, read through the MR WikiPost thoroughly in
order to obtain the community-provided installation script
(?10.6PPC.zip?) and the correct ?BootX? file. Also, refer to the MR
WikiPost?s ?Fixes & Workarounds? section on ways to improve overall
functionality.
