OK. I'm like one of the only ones here that uses a Mac OS for everything, so does anyone have, or know where I could get SRB2 Doom? I've been looking, but I can't find one. Also, Every windows emulator I could find needs an intel computer, and I don't have one. But yeah sorry for asking, but I would really appreciate the help!

Hmm...nope...no idea

To bad you can't use the emulaters, they can run doombuilder fine

Look for WINE. I've never tried it, but there's a port for it on Mac OS X.

Does the Boot Camp feature for Mac OS work for you?

You will indeed need an Intel Mac for any of the compatibility-layer options to work. Same for Boot Camp. This rules out running SRB2DB entirely.

If you were referring to SRB2 itself, there is a PowerPC Mac port by Lostgame, but it might not be current any longer.

If you own a copy of Windows, you could go down the emulation route (which effectively gives you a software PC and would allow you to do anything you could on a real PC), but that'll be s-l-o-w because of the different architectures.

Wait. Isn't SRB2 Doombuilder open source?

Yes. It's located on the public SVN.

Then what's stopping someone from compiling a PowerPC binary then?

Does anyone here even know how to compile anything?

Many people. But, do any of them have Macs?

It's not that simple, unfortunately. There are lots of obstacles to this, not least that SRB2DB is written in Visual Basic, which is about as portable as a chest freezer.
