[noob question] WHAT is a .arm64 file??

Post by /RaspberryPi »


At my limit here, although I'll grant that I'm not smart lol... I can not find a straight answer online about what a .arm64 file is supposed to be, looking through google you'd think it didn't exist. I gather it's some sort of installation file? But how do you open it?



Here's what little I have to go on:
  • The file in question is supposed to be a game? No documentation for it so I really DK
  • It's supposed to be run on a Raspberry Pi? (hence my asking here, apologies)
  • Google apparently doesn't know what it is either

I figure this is a question too fundamental to just find answers to because you're assumed to already know it... any help would be much appreciated.
