So, I currently need to fix some endianess bugs in an open-source project of mine. Without a PPC machine for me to do this, it makes the task difficult/impossible. Is it possible to get a PPC linux vmware image and run it on my AMD64 box with vmware? Does anybody even know where to find such images?

Thanks!

VMWare is an i386/amd64 emulator. You need a PowerPC emulator, such as PearPC.
