Otvdm/winevdm: run old Windows software in 64-bit Windows

Super interesting, I've been looking for something like this for a while. My grandfather still plays the original Age of Empires, and when he finally upgraded to Windows 10, we found that the game would no longer run. Luckily at that point AoE: Definitive Edition was on its way, and he bought that when it came out, but it got me thinking about stuff that's too recent for DOSBox but too old for modern Windows. It's a shame that he had to re-buy the game when he still had the original CD for it because there was no way of running it in Windows 10.

What's the current recommended platform for running Windows 95/98 programs? Virtualbox sound/graphics doesn't work quite right on some old programs.

I am curious as of which 16 bits Windows 3.x applications are still in use today; any pointers welcomed.

My first thought went to win3emu -- but based on what I can read, it&#x27;s a big difference between them. (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.toptensoftware.com&#x2F;win3mu&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.toptensoftware.com&#x2F;win3mu&#x2F;</a>)

Hmm...I might need to come up with a 5.25-inch floppy drive again.

Given that this is an emulator, would there be a way to port this to Android?

Does this interact with Windows 10 Sandbox at all?
