I had some issues with NTVMx64 on Windows 11
https://github.com/leecher1337/ntvdmx64/issues/240

But if everything seems okay with the system after you installed it (NTVDMx64), then you should be good to go!

I do recall having weird numeric output in Tradewars 2002 when using NTVDMx64, perhaps that issue is now resolved in the latest version.
