- userbinator 10y agoOne of the things that AMD broke in x86-64, and after that, both AMD and Intel decided to develop a new virtualisation mechanism completely incompatible both with V86 and each other (VT-x, AMD-V)... I think V86 mode was definitely far less appreciated than it should've been. On the other hand, I couldn't get a working command prompt in the Win98 demo, so it seems V86 does not emulate V86 quite right. ;-)
