Would these binaries work on Apple Silicon? It seems like no, since it isn't x86? What are the limits to the portability, and is there a path past those limits?

- momothereal 6y agoThat's right, it only supports x86. However the binary will detect other architectures and try to run itself with QEMU in that case.
- samatman 6y agoI would love for someone to do this experiment. In principle, Rosetta should detect that it's x86, perform the translation, and everything should "just work". In practice, it's possible that the weird things APE is doing to get cross-platform compatibility will undermine one or more of Rosetta's assumptions. I don't have an M1 Mac, so I'm not in a position to try it. But someone should!
