Microsoft already removed all support for 16 bit apps on all 64 bit versions of their OSs. You can replace the missing NTVDM with WineVDM, which is essentially just WINE for 16 bit apps, and likely has higher compatibility than NTVDM anyway.
That doesn’t help with the incompatibilities of some Win9x and XP era apps, though.
I don’t think SC-Controller is making direct kernel syscalls or anything like that. It’s probably just something as simple as the dev doesn’t use Windows and doesn’t feel like supporting it, which I can understand.
Also the reason I even mentioned Mesa is because there is a working Mesa port to Windows already that does software rendering and an experimental RADV port.

There’s a fucking wot? WAT? That’s fascinating.
