I know this could require an amount of work because it might need to implement not only the G5 instruction set, but perhaps a new chipset (not sure of this, it depends on what chipset PearPC emulates now).

However, even if it can require work, it's becoming harder and harder to maintain G5 machines: it's difficult to find replacements, and some machines like the iMac G5 or the liquid cooling Power Mac are not easy to fix when they fail.

The G5 deserves to have a longer life. It can run 64 bit code and can address large amounts of memory. Emulating it on PearPC would keep the G5 alive, so please don't give up on this!
