Honestly, if NTVDM was part of Windows then it seems fair to use it, even 3rd party clones.

Yeah I was kind of on the fence with this, but since the last version of Windows that shipped with NTVDM was Windows 10 32bit, and Windows 11 doesn't have a 32bit edition, I decided that using 3rd party tools would be cheating

I was aiming for something you could double click on vanilla Windows and would just work out of the box
