  • ntvdmx64 no com port

    From klunk@21:1/124 to All on Sun Dec 14 12:17:26 2025
    Hi all,
    When I open legend of the red dragon door using NTVDMx64 I get a unable to open com port error. Has anyone come across this before? The door runs perfect under win 10 32 bit with NTVDM. But trying to move to win 10 64 bit.
    Any input appreciated.

    First thing I would ask is, does the computer have a com port? If not just download a virtual com port program and create one, because I run my Door Server in a Virtual machine and my host system does not have a serial port. I use a program called Virtual Serial Ports Emulator VSPE for short, its a pay program but does the job very nicely.. I am sure there are tons of free ones if this is indeed the issue..
