The NTVDM link reminded me of this. I still use this regularly to run 16-bit Win 3.x software on 64-bit Windows 10.
- Retro 95 days agoCurious to know what Win 3.x software you are still using regularly today, if you don't mind me asking. Is it mostly games perhaps?
- shdon 95 days agoSome games indeed. But I've also done art (graphics and music) and programming on Win 3.x with some of it being in proprietary file formats that can't be loaded by modern software. I could export music to MIDI and load that in modern software like Sibelius or Musescore, but I'd lose much of the notation. So instead I use the old software to have it on-screen or print it, then transcribe it.
