None of the ddraw compacts work on it, however the game works with OTVDM, couldn't you make a compilation to make it work? the game works almost correctly, but there are flaws in the sources and playing on w 11 without an emulator is much better than on the dosbox emulator, the game is faster and the sound quality is simply better, since I use the VST midi driver To play, I'm reducing my monitor's resolution to the maximum, but here in the print, I took it at 1920x1080 resolution and as you can see, there are errors in the fonts, certain writings don't appear image

If the game works with Otvdm it's unlikely to use DDrawCompat as it's not a 16bit component

Look, there is the launcher for the W 95, maybe this will solve the problems with fonts, it would be good to investigate

A Win3.1 port is more likely to use GDI or WinG in my opinion, over DirectDraw. Although I should not conclude that my assumptions is correct...

What launcher? The game is 16-bit, so it can't use DirectDraw. Is there a 32-bit version somewhere?

I'm assuming the answer is no.
