sam files without problems but has some serious graphic bugs and printer problems. Upgrade AmiPro to the first 32-bit Version for Win95 (Lotus WordPro).It works but we even prefer using a second computer to this solution. Every time we start the helper application by double-clicking a file, it converts the host file path to the hopefully correct file path on the guest's network drive we set up earlier and then uses the VMware Workstation Unity cli to start the VM and start AmiPro afterward with the file path on the guest as an argument.

NET Application for the host that registers itself as the default application for AmiPros file format. To circumvent this restriction, I wrote a small. The next big problem was that we could not open files directly from the host. Startup performance is pretty bad, especially if the VM is not running. We have to mount them as network drives (with a letter assigned) in order to make it work. VM file share typically mounts folders from the host as a network resource. Technically the application runs fine but due to the nature of running virtual machines, several problems occur: Printers do not work out of the box and even if Windows is able to print, AmiPro has a hard time printing to shared network printers.

Use a Virtual Machine with 32-bit Windows 7.

However, Microsoft announced that they will no longer allow manufacturers to ship 32-bit Windows versions along with their hardware. This works fine but it requires us to constantly switch peripherals as well as the monitor input.

Use a second computer running a 32-bit Windows 7 with NTVDM enabled.Open AmiPro by double-clicking a file on the host.Use a recent 64-bit Windows 10 as the main system.However, the installer is broken and there are some problems with the configuration files located under %WINDIR% because of read/write permissions. TL DRĪmiPro runs well on 64-bit with otvdm/winevdm ( GitHub). For obvious reasons, he can't use a 32-bit respectively older Windows Version (Windows XP, Windows 7) as his main OS. The problem is that 64-bit Windows does not support ancient 16-bit programs. He knows it well, relies on it, has tons of business-related documents and therefore refuses to change to any other text/calculation program. My dad manages all of his documents and calculations, whether private or business-related, with the 30-year-old 16-bit program Lotus AmiPro 3.0.
