No - its either running as a 32-bit app (if you have installed the 32-bit version of LC) or as a 64-bit app (if you have installed the 64-bit version of LC) - there's no emulation going on - the difference is the processor mode the executables are run in.

Windows, macOS and Linux all handle 32-bit vs 64-bit exactly the same way... The versions of the OS which can run both, have two sets of code for everything in the OS - one 32-bit and one 64-bit. The only difference is what those OSes call it / how they package it.

Hmmm... the release notes under Platform support | Windows says

"Note: On 64-bit Windows installations, LiveCode runs as a 32-bit application through the WoW layer."

Do the release notes need updating?
