Bummer. Linux is trending that way as well but dosemu still sort of hacks things together enough for a decent amount of games to /mostly/ work. I'm
hopeful a 3rd party compatibility layer gets released at some point to make doors easy in the future.

I have been able to make 16bit programs like frotz, jzip and infocom .exe/.com programs work under Windows 10 32-bit just fine after update 1903. You do need to make some system adjustments that are easy.
Next I opened a Command Prompt (Console) and clicked the top left of the command prompt window to get the menu, go to PROPERTIES. In the
properties box that opens, at the bottom of this window put a check mark on "Use legacy console (requires relaunch, affects all consoles)". After you select that click OK, then close your command prompt window.
This all worked for my doors, doorway, netfoss, games, etc...
but the issue is with 16b doors.
it is selected and doors dont work. only win32 doors do.

I just tested a couple 16-bit apps on mine again, they are running and showing up utilizing ntvdm.exe running as a 16-bit task under ntvdm.exe
If he's using 64 bit Windows 10, ntvdm has been killed and won't work to run 16 bit doors any more.
Hmmmm....That is interesting, can you give an example/name of a doorlord, lord ][ clans, teos, ny 2008, i can go on. they worked until 1903 update.
that is not working?
it is selected and doors dont work. only win32 doors do.Yeah, windows 10 64 bit killed ntvdm, so there's no 16 bit support. You may be able to hack something together but I wouldn't personally trust it...I'm not sure what the hacks are actually doing.

I have an issue with one door not working. It is called Classic Solitaire, the funny thing is I have other 16bit doors that do work with no issues. There is one more door that does not work and it also is a
card game and both of these you have to use tp7p5fix.com to reside in memory to work or you get a RTE 200.
I did not have LORD2 on this Win 10 Mystic VM so I copied it over, configured it for my test mystic and it too worked. Both the L2.exe
(game) and L2CFG.exe (configuration tool). When I got into the game through mystic and was playing it I again checked task manager which

Ahhh the classic pascal compiler error (RTE 200), is there a download for your Classic Solitaire? I would like to take a look at that.
