Hi, yes that's right, these are the classic runtime files that also work on Win 3x.
Win 9x usually ships with msvbvm50.dll (VB5) and msvbvm60.dll (VB6)..

For Visual Basic 6, there's also The Visual Basic Community Runtime :

In some rare cases you'll also need optional files, such as mci32.ocx,
or the VB4 runtime (vb40032a.exe or vb40016a.exe).

VBX files are the original 16-Bit VB modules,
whereas OCX are the 32-Bit types.

Thanks a lot guys, especially Jo22 for clarification on additional things. Only one more question for now - where do I put them 🤣 (dlls)

Programs should find them if they're in the same folder as the program executable, but more permanently runtime DLL's go into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ (or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ on NT).

Thanks! 😊

Found a lot of shareware games on archive.org.

somethings may require you to use regsvr32
