Mac OS X has been ported to the Nintendo Wii
SMRTR summary
A developer successfully ported Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah to run natively on the Nintendo Wii. The project required writing a custom bootloader, patching the XNU kernel source code to work with the Wii's 88MB memory configuration, and creating specialized drivers for the Wii's Hollywood system-on-chip to handle SD card storage and USB input devices. After overcoming challenges like memory caching issues and inter-processor communication between the PowerPC main processor and ARM coprocessor, the port now allows full Mac OS X functionality including installation from scratch, with working keyboard and mouse support.
