Although Rosetta is not supported by The MathWorks, MATLAB can run under Rosetta using a non-standard startup procedure. The special startup process is needed because MATLAB requires the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which Rosetta does not support.

However, most GUI features including the MATLAB Desktop and Figure Plot tools will be unavailable, and there may be noticeable performance degradation.
