| You just need to install 86Box as a compatibility layer. Everything runs perfectly. You only have to copy-paste one .exe file and then you can launch your app from Windows, that’s it. Sounds perfectly reasonable. |

| 86box is a PC emulator, not a compatibility layer. |

| ▲ | dwattttt 16 hours ago | parent [-] | | That link says NTVDM uses the CPUs virtual-8086 mode, rather than emulating a CPU; NTVDM's approach can't be done on a CPU that's in 64bit mode (per Intel's docs), the CPU would have to be stepped back into protected mode first (which isn't the same as when you run a 32bit application in a 64bit OS, that's a separate compatibility state within 64bit mode). |
