The present invention relates to a binary translator for directly translating binary instructions written for a legacy processor to executable binary instructions for a native processor. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention the binary translator is configured as a reconfigurable translator, which enables the binary translator to be used with different legacy processors and/or operating systems and native processors. The binary translators also optimize to take advantage of more efficient native processor instructions and allows portions of the legacy binary code to be disabled and/or new native instructions to be added to the application program without modification of the legacy binary code.
