If you go to the github repo (see menu up-right) and "compile it right", you will be able to make "VB6 apps" for your platform!
Did someone make a VB6 to PB form file translator in the ancient times?

PS: I ask because the PB form designer UI sucks socks; I hope it doesn't behave in "real" win11 like it does in my win11arm Virtual Machine; it's even worse than on Mac…

It shouldn't be hard there were three different companies that made full-featured native and p-code decompilers. VB6 is the only language I've even seen with a reliable decompiler that would take a PE/exe and give you ready-to-link source code that didn't need weird fixups or were broken.. You would think .NET/ISIL languages like C#, VB.NET, and F# would have this since they leave so much meta-data in the binary..

There's all the stuff about visual studio (now unsupported on Mac…)

Then for (old?) win ppl there's https://twinbasic.com …but it seems to me one of the many """vb6, keep it working""" projects that went dead…
