Anyone tried running Apple Pippin games on SS?

Apple's failed game console Pippin is really a heavy-crippled PCI Power Mac with a 603 cpu. Anyone here have experiences with Pippin game discs running on Sheepshaver?

I saw a Pippin only one time during an Apple Expo in Paris during the 90's.
It was a nice object but only few were sold, so games are not legion.
If I remember well, the operating system of the Pippin was close to Mac OS 7, but I don't think it was Mac OS 7 itself, so I don't thing it would be possible to run a Pippin game on SheepShaver.
But, if someone finds a pippin game, it would be funny to test it with SheepShaver.

A pippin can be hacked to run System 7.5.2 and 7.5.5.
and most Pippin games (released by bandai) are just generic Mac games with a Pippin system folder.

according to wikipedia, around 80 titles were released for the Pippin in the Japanese market... some of them might be good....

So, we just need to find some of these games to make the test.

Does someone know where we could find them, please ?
