It uses a m68k CPU emulator and implements a bunch of Classic traps, just enough to run most (all) the Newton tools like they were a regular command line app.
I love the seamless integration of the HWR into the OS. And the ability to draw and write anywhere. Todays devices all go a different path.
Yeah, the C code translates quite well back and forth to the ARM code. I have tried to understand optimized Intel assembler, but failed miserably ;-D
