A method for executing new instructions is provided. The method is used in a processor and includes: receiving an instruction; generating an unknown instruction exception when the received instruction is an unknown instruction; in response to the unknown instruction exception, executing the following steps through a conversion program: determining whether the received instruction is a new instruction; and converting the received instruction into at least one old instruction when the received instruction is a new instruction; and executing the at least one old instruction in the same execution mode as the received instruction.
