can this 16bit old app [iPhotoPlus] run in Windows 64 whit a ntdv emulator?

[marcorocchini]

Hi, and however I'm cat.
I wonder for kindness: I have an old 16bit program that I would like run in windows 10-64bit. I suppose using a 64bit-ntdv emulator is there any way to run it?

You can download it on my dropbox at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tssw292rh0jwoyb/IPPLUS.rar?dl=0

and the executable is \ipplus\ipplus.exe

if this were possible I would be very grateful, thaanks

Nope,only way to run it is with winxp 32 bit,also being a cat isn't that cute.

You can try VDosPlus http://vdosplus.org/
It should work.

It runs on 32 bit XP in a VM.

@jagabo, I am going to ask you, since you got it working, and I wouldn't get a straight answer from the OP: Is there ANY feature in that app that is not available elsewhere, using NORMAL, modern 32/64bit software?

I have no idea. I just started the program, opened an image, and took a screencap.

Love such questions
One can use a 16 bit emulator too (tested-works):

Is there any way to run it? Well, yes. If it's practical, I don't know. Here's a dosbox running Win 3.11 running Ipplus. Should be portable, but didn't spend much time testing it.

Windows 3.11 is so clunky! Thanks for that though. I think I'll get rid of the ipplus stuff and just keep the Win3.11 VM.

It's clunky for sure. Closer in time to the invention of the CPU than today. I feel old.

What an elegant solution!
