The binary file format on Windows is called PE (portable executable). I wonder if this might possibly be a fat binary format.
- mitchty 10y agoCross Hardware Portable Executable maybe?
- problems 10y agoThey wouldn't need to change the binary format for emulation though. It may be something more like "universal" executables from OS X when they went to x86 though?
- groovy2shoes 10y agoThat's what a "fat binary" is :)
- rbanffy 10y ago"Fat Binary" was what cross-platform 68K/PPC MacOS programs were officially called.
