Hmm...it should work with either VirtualBox or VMware, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to install the VM software (the software to make it run more natively)

I thought you couldn't access physical hardware on a virtual box (i.e. video card). Unless, you were running old enough games that they could run on a software-virtualized video card.

If it doesn't need hardware 3D acceleration, it should work in a WIndows 95/98 virtual machine.

DX3 is pre-3D hardware, so you should be OK.
