    Okay, so I downloaded Powder Toy on my Mac, but it doesn't seem to run. On the icon of Powder appears a circle with a slash on it (aka forbidden sign). Double clicking the Powder icon opens a dialog saying that I can't open the application because the architecture isn't supported. Is there a way to get rid of the message? Thanks.

    I don't know if I downloaded a wrong version. What version should I download for use on my Mac? Thanks for your help.

    I tried atleast 3 times, still the same message.

    PS: This forum has a good community I see, fast replies!

    Edit: Already found out, my Mac isn't Intel. I hate how more and more programs are getting Intel-only! So now there is no way to use Powder Toy on my Mac?

    but powder toy was made by Stanis?aw Skowronek, he works in AMD. I don't think that Powder Toy is Intel only.

    Yes, but my Mac processor is PowerPC. But I have seen someone who did even port Powder Toy to ARM (Nokia N900), so I thought it would be possible on Mac. Should be possible with source code, I am going to try to compile that and I hope it works. I don't believe that this hasn't been done before, if it works I'll post the download for PowerPC users. (Hope this doesn't get too technical :P)
