Try also softgpu

There are recent (2022) drivers for VirtualBox for win9x

Author says they do not have plans to develop a QEMU compatible version.

There's also the Universal VBE Video Display Driver, last updated 2014, this seems to work well with -vga std but may be better with -device VGA,vgamem_mb=32. Seems to prevent clean shutdowns.

The binary download links seem broken but the Archive has them

Possible successor to the VBE project https://github.com/camthesaxman/win9x_vm_display_driver

...seems to BSOD whenever a DOS Prompt is opened

it has a few limitations like not being able to run windowed DOS prompts,

Also seems to prevent clean shut-downs.

SoftGPU seems like a non-starter on QEMU due to missing 3d support for Qemu's vmware svga card.

Edit: Worth trying the 2d only driver which is based on the 2022 VBox driver
