View Full Version : Run Universal Binaries on Windows?

Is there a way to do this? Like an interpretter or something? Seems like if they're X86 instruction sets, it should work. There's WINE for Linux to emulate windows and CYGWIN for windows to emulate Linux. Is there a project going for Windows to emulate Intel Mac? (I know about pearPC, but that is probably futile now since Macs aren't going to be using PPC chips anymore)

Woah you are on that already?
Either wait for the OSX86, or wait for an emulator. It's only been 3 months since Apple officially announced Macintel and Universal Binaries. I think it'd take a couple of months to develop a fully working emulator.
IMHO in theory, without a custom emulator, it's not possible to run universal binaries on Windows.

Probably not.
By the way… you said with "There's WINE for Linux to emulate Windows"… guess what WINE stands for… :P

It's technically possible, in just the same way that WINE is :)
well, VMware can already do this, but not legally, obviously

Yeah… but WINE can't do that… and it'd be pretty darn hard to copy WINE, I imagine. ;)
