"Windows for WorkCubes" Michael MJD did a video on this recently, showing off necessary modifications on a vanilla GameCube and the installation procedures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESV3Qib8eJI

Michael MJD plays with some cursed setups. I enjoy how he presents the struggle.

Windows NT — that’s some nostalgia. Choosing it over ReactOS somehow makes it feel even more genuine.

Does reactos even target powerpc? Update: no, the answer is no. It may be possible to port it to other architectures but the only build targets are i386 and amd64. I suspect a powerpc build would be a huge messy project.

arm64 ReactOS boots all the way to desktop with it being on the way to upstream too.
