> It's a real shame there's nothing like Wine for the late PPC/early Intel era of OS X. That entire galaxy of apps basically just no longer have anything to run on.
Could that run Pac the Man X? The fact that the guide you link suggests optimisations like disabling the 3D dock makes me think it would struggle mightily with a game. Afaik UTM doesn't support any GPU emulation or virtualisation at all. I'd love to be wrong on this.
PPC apps run great in QEMU/UTM on Apple silicon:

Intel emulation works too, but is not nearly as performant at present:
