- kyberias 6y agoI think it forwards the calls to native 64-bit Windows APIs. Does Android implement the Windows APIs?

- coldpie 6y agoThe linked software contains a CPU emulator, since 64-bit Windows cannot execute programs in 16-bit mode. Regardless, I would argue Wine is an emulator. It emulates Windows's behavior, so it is perfectly fine to describe it as an emulator in some contexts. This pedantic nit-picking is really tiresome.
- phh 6y agoIt's not a nitpick in this context, since Wine on Android will only run ARM64 binaries (unless you have one of those few x86 Android devices)
- _joel 6y agoNitpicking? Literally look at https://www.winehq.org/ https://www.winehq.org/ front page "Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator")..."
