I've been having more joy running old games in Wine than I ever had in Windows, wish I knew this stuff 5 years ago. There's a few problems with software that require media playback (work stuff) but besides that the thing is badass. Open Source rocks
If I recall. NTvdm never got a port to 64-bit since the CPU mode it relied on for fast 16-bit code execution gets disabled when a x86 processor is switched into long mode. WineVDM is likely translating 16-bit instruction calls to 32-bit and then passing that off to Windows.
There's also a similar project called "NTVDMx64" which is basically an AMD64 port of the VDM for non-x86 versions of Windows NT 4, so it uses emulation instead of the V86 CPU mode. It does also integrate (or rather hack its way into) Windows itself thus allowing you to run DOS programs just by double clicking it. Unfortunately, it only works with DOS programs and because it hacks into the application loader it does get detected as a Trojan, but it does appear to be otherwise clean and it does work... all right, but it's another interesting project like WineVDM but dedicated to DOS programs.
Gotta love Wine. It has better compatibility with old Wibdows than Windows has ever had. A project started to let you run Windows apps on Linux now used to run Windows on Windows. :)
One thing I find interesting is how older applications always revert to the Win9x look. It seems like everything since the turn of the century: Luna, Aero, Metro/Modern UI is all an extra layer on the Windows Classic theme.
I remember seeing Windows 95 being released way back in my college days, so whenever I had to use a Windows 3.1 PC again I'd always open the clock and resize it and move it to the bottom right of the desktop. Ahhhh, the good old days.
@@eduardoavila646 What the hell are you talking about? Microsoft always tries to keep a reasonable amount of backwards compatibility in their products because it's used by businesses around the world that rely on it. 16 bit compatibility, however, was killed off because a) it's a big security risk as the APIs were written in a time where security wasn't a huge concern due to a lack of widespread internet access, and b) modern processors aren't backwards compatible with 16 bit commands anymore. If you want to see a company that actively destroys compatibility then look at what Apple does, because they just killed 32 bit backwards compatibility.
@@BrightSpark I think you interpreted wrongly my comment, well i'm not a native english speaker so it may be my fault too. I never said they were a greedy company wich was sabotaging their own customers. What i said is that every newer version of windows, more and more programs are made, the world evolves, so naturally, they "turn off" the compatiblity to some really old api's and/or programs, device drivers, etc. And your explanation doesnt make all the sense, because if its a huge security breach (wich i don't doubt), then why the 32bit windows version has that compatiblity? About cpus don't having these instructions, this isn't a issue at all, as they can be either translated or emulated (wich is more likelly), and again in 32 bit windows it works, and with WineVDM it also works with 64 bit windows perfectly. What happens is that when a certain time has passed, most of the people won't be using such old programs, and if some will, they will likelly use a emulator or a old machine to use it. So it doesn't worth the hassle of keeping that code, and updating it, trying to fix secutiry breaches, etc. Apple is being more radical here, many programs are still written in 32 bit today, but yeah in a not so near future we will see that in every system. Actually canonical done the same thing. There isn't a 32 bit ubuntu iso anymore. You can have the lastest update tho, just install the latest 32 bit iso and upgrade.
Great overview of how to actually use this! Have some old office apps and new Win 10 64 bit PC's. Having to use VM Virtual PC's for the old apps. This will make life a lot easier.
Thank you so much! Got one of my favourite older games (3D Brick Bustin' Madness) to work in 64-bit Windows! It was the installation wizard that was the issue, but the game works without WineVDM - I guess it's 32-bit. To get the game to work I right-clicked the game, Properties, Compatibility and enabled 'run in 640x480 resolution'.
Hey Michael MJD, I dare you to run Windows 10 Pro, running Hyper-V, running Windows 7 Pro, running Windows Virtual PC/ Windows XP Mode, running Windows XP Pro, running Virtual PC 2007, running Windows 98 SE, running in MS-DOS mode, running a C64 emulator, running a Commodore 64, running Planet X-2. Please make this video idea reality!
Thanks so much for the video. I finally have been able to get a 16 bit amateur radio program to run on my computer after having tried everything I am so excited that it worked even though this video is a few years old.
Edit: Reading down the comments , I've realised it does most of it , as I just watched video , haven't tried and looked software archive itself. And comments below make me to think that this can be done even further and deeper integrated into x64 versions of Win , with little tweaks. :) Well , a wrapper that integrates it into Win can be done. :) Now , the other part and challenging one is to make it knows which app is 16bit and which isn't. Simplest would be to have one or several to unlimited folders to be specified inside wrapper to tell it that everything inside that folder(s) is 16bit.
duuuude, just came across your video, you are a boss!! finally i can re-live all the games from my childhood like jijs adventure and castle in the winds
Looks like it works pretty well - I have a bunch of old 16 bit games from the 1994-1996 era that I had to resort to using either a VM or DosBox (running Windows 3.1) to run.
Note that this is an emulator. The MS ntvdm is not compatible with 64 bit Windows because the processor cannot be switched back to 16 bit mode once it has been switched to 64 bit mode. MS did not want to build the necessary emulator into Windows.
You didn't install it fully, it can add a registry entry so you can double click on 16 bit exe and it will run it in the virtual machine automatically and you don't have to do the slow process of opening it up manually
Window 10 64Bit User here... After trying so many methods...Virtual Machine,DosBox,Hyper-V Features , Windows XP Mode...and installed multiple times of Window XP 32Bits... This is by far most easier way to play 16Bits games... Basicly just run the file, locate the 16Bits Games EXE you want to run...and everythings perfect... No setting needed, No OS installing required, No Hard Disk wasted for Virtual Machine......
This actually worked for me......Had a problem installing Microsoft Visual C, but figure it out quickly. This runs my AutoCad R14 version (1996) very nicely now!!!! YAHOOOOOOOO!!!
OTVDM could have the potential for classic 16-bit Windows games from the Windows 3.1-era to be rereleased through digital distribution platforms such as Steam or GOG by using pre-configured batch files in Windows.
Winevdm is also available on Chocolatey, though you'll have to manually uninstall WineVDM if you already have it installed if you want to replace it with the version from Chocolatey. Also, Chocoloatey requires you to manually check for new versions.

15:14 "The existing file is newer than the one Setup is trying to install. it is recommended that you keep the existing file. Do you want to keep the existing file?" "Lets go ahead and click no, click no, so that we don't overwrite anything." READ THE MESSAGE! you clicked no to overwrite with the older file you dingus! I mean yeah you pressed no to overwriting afterwards, but pressed the wrong answer to the first message.
More options is better! I've been running Windows 3.11 under DOSBox to accomplish this so far. Edit: Almost forgot- I also keep a low end 32 bit Windows 10 machine around for running 16 bit applications natively as well.
32-bit Win NT (2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8/8.1, 10) doesn't run 16 bit native. It uses NTVDM, which is basically what this (winevdm) does, except NTVDM is by Microsoft.
Well done. Admittedly I'm not very tech savvy though your video outlines the process clearly. That said I would like to run Microsoft Street & Trips 2013 on my HP 64 bit laptop. I've used both methods. Executable otvdmw and the Run otvdm and I get this error msg back, verson: 1056 1088:err:winvdm:exec16 510: C:\users\jayme\desktop\street`\setup_exe is a win32 executable file! 1088:fixme:module:loadmodule_wineimplementation 1299: strange error by createprocess: 740.

Try running it straight - it's saying it's a 32-bit, not a 16-bit, program. otvdm is for 16-bit. So, try Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (Street and Trips 2013 is after XP [1999]).
Great tutorial! I just got many "old" 16 bits up and running in my "2nd laptop" using Windows 10 64 bits OS. The only thing is not clear is if the otdvmw is to be clicked every time? It doesn´t seem to install anything! It works, though! Thank you for your video as it is what I was looking for a long time and it works really great!
I have good news for you: There is a 32 bit version of Office 4.2. It was meant for Windows NT 3.x but it works on Windows 10 x64. (I have a video on my channel)
Michael, Do you know if 32 bit DOS programs will run with otdvm as well. I am interested in running OrCAD SDT schematic design capture software. Also how doe it handle different video screen resolutions and mice drivers?
no to fix this hold shift and right click in an empty spot where you downloaded the new C++ 2015 RC3 and click open powershell here. run this, vc_redist.x86.exe /uninstall. Select Repair, it will now be installed. Still not sure if this pack is needed since windows grouped together C++ 2015-2019 now.
I am running an XP virtual machine, just to be able to use a HP laserjet printer. Drivers for this printer only work in XP or windows server 2003. Would something like this also work for obsolete hardware?
Does not yet play sound from JezzBall. And my old favorite game, Star Wars Chess by Software Toolworks does not work properly. Most 16-bit apps from Microsoft Home collection do not work, give some advapi32.dll error. But I expect it to improve over time. :) It is fantastic. Nothing like this done ever before for 64-bit Windows.
Would this be a way to say use a 16 bit installer on some old games that used 16 bit to install certain games however the game it's self was 32 bit? For example a classic game Oregon Trail 3rd Edition? It's installer was 16 bit but when you would start the game it would run in 32 bit.
I get an error when trying to install the Redist. Looked in the log file and it wont let me install it because a newer version is installed. I don't have any of the 2015 redist. But I do have the 2017 redist. Should I uninstall them?
I have a older cooking cd-rom for Windows 3 1 will this Wine software load this up? Do I just drag and drop the Windows 3.1 to the cd install application or autoplay?
I like the video. Still, I hope you'd show the installation process. You can install WineVDM, so you can launch programs by simply double-clicking. Also, you mentioned there's a couple of other programs that can do this. Which programs? To the best of my knowledge, this is the only program, that allows you to run *GUI* 16-bit programs.
I'm trying to run Calmira XP on Windows 7 with this setup, but it doesn't seem to want to work. In fact, no 16-bit programs want to run, they all throw up different errors. Any thoughts?
There's not much that NEEDS to be changed in an ASCII text editor. It's the digital equivalent of a pencil. I can describe 2018 tech using a pencil from 1985 or describe 1980's tech using a 2018 pencil. Both will have lead and an eraser in their usual positions, and they will work EXACTLY the same! Ditto for Notepad. If it ain't broke,don't "fix" it.
Finally! I've been trying to find a program that lets you run 16 bit programs on 64 bit for so long! Thanks for making this video. Great video!
You're welcome!

I like the video. Still, I hope you'd show the installation process. You can install WineVDM, so you can launch programs by simply double-clicking. Also, you mentioned there's a couple of other programs that can do this. Which programs? To the best of my knowledge, this is the only program, that allows you to run *GUI* 16-bit programs.
1:05 How did you make a 2018 tutorial video 2 years ago?
He renamed it
I love it. BTW can you run Win95 programs on Win10?
Possibly
I'm trying to run Calmira XP on Windows 7 with this setup, but it doesn't seem to want to work. In fact, no 16-bit programs want to run, they all throw up different errors. Any thoughts?
can i use this to run old PC Format or PC Power demo disks plus some old shareware disks? Thanks
im 13 and i played some ps1 games when i was 8 now i want those back thx 4 the help
I suggest you to do video helping people to move from Windows to Linux. What programs to use, etc. The "refund day vídeo" should ring the bell.
I am trying to open Aurocad R14 on a 64 bit computer and can not , any help? autorun doesn't start not on otvdmw neither when pulling it onto otvdm
silly quesation but would it be able to execute dos applications? like how ntvdm does on x86 windows?
It's kinda funny that you can't tell the difference of notepad program between the win 1.0 and 10
Well, Win3.1 icon is a bit more pixelated...
There's not much that NEEDS to be changed in an ASCII text editor. It's the digital equivalent of a pencil. I can describe 2018 tech using a pencil from 1985 or describe 1980's tech using a 2018 pencil. Both will have lead and an eraser in their usual positions, and they will work EXACTLY the same! Ditto for Notepad. If it ain't broke,don't "fix" it.

how do you get win 1-3 apps?
Not kidding, sonic's schoolhouse actually works with winevdm using the 95 setup, you don't need winevdm to run the game, just the setup
Ahh the good ole days of Windows 3.11 with Winsock and Windows 95 using 16bit protected mode assembly.
