Actually, gestalt and everything else lying is the correct behaviour. Rosetta is supposed to be exactly the same as if you were running on a real G3. This means it has to return the fakey mcfake versions of all the gestalt calls (that and it uses the real PPC frameworks).

When we did the 68K->PPC transition, Gestalt didn't lie about the CPU model. I don't know why Gestalt would need to start lying now. That seems bug-report worthy.

Everything lies! (under Rosetta).

You have to "call out" in order to find the info.

Or you can check the result of getenv("GL_RESOURCES"); Or you can see if a specific file is opened by your application but these two methods are bound to change.

Really wish there was a gestalt for the lies.
