Uh... calling .exe cross platform is a choice.

[–] Static_Rocket@lemmy.world 56 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Cross platform! You know, accessible across all our platforms

Well, .exes run on at least two major operating systems!

Windoze 10 and 11?

Provided you've managed to configure your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS in such a way that you have enough base memory available to run it.

~~Neat idea but it needs the ape loader to be installed.~~

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It comes with the launcher embedded.

Now you may be asking, what happens if the APE loader isn't installed on my system? In that case, it'll try to dd the 4kb copy of the APE loader that's embedded within the host executable, out to the safest folder that's guaranteed to work, namely ${TMPDIR:-${HOME:-.}}/.ape. If your operating system defines the POSIX-specified $TMPDIR variable, then the ape loader will become $TMPDIR/.ape. Otherwise if $HOME is defined, it's dropped in in $HOME/.ape. Then, if neither is defined, ./.ape is created in the current directory

Thanks, I missed it.

Replaces the older .com format, also compatible with the .bat and .lnk wrappers too.
