One other cool project is that someone ported the SoftPC MS-DOS emulation layer to x86, allowing for 64-bit Windows to run 16-bit DOS software (it couldn't do this without emulation because x86-64 doesn't have access to virtual 8086 mode). Obviously there's DOSBox as well but that doesn't allow for integration into the Windows CLI like this does, so for example you can't pipe the output of a Windows program into a DOS program. https://github.com/leecher1337/ntvdmx64 https://github.com/leecher1337/ntvdmx64
