How to run Snow Leopard on an Apple silicon Mac

Although 10.6 dropped PPC support, the early developer releases which can run on PPC shows that is viable for limited use and I suppose could have been maintained had Apple not dropped that support.

I am not sure what you mean by this statement: OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard still has Rosetta, the transparent translator that allows PowerPC apps to run in Snow Leopard.

Rosetta was eliminated in the 2011 introduction of new Macs, including the Mac Mini, which requires OS X 10.7 Lion. However, through the efforts of “newfoundglory,” Snow Leopard can be installed and run natively on the 2011 Mac Mini.
