Nope 🙁

I get the same result with DOSBox 0.60 and with Bochs 2.1.

Try this - works for me:

# DOSBox 0.63 configuration for "StarFighter 3000 v. 1.08"
# By MiniMax

[sblaster]
# OBS: The SoundBlaster 16 will sometime cause SF3000 to hang,
# so I stick to the SB Pro.
type=sbpro

[cpu]
# According to the game engine, dynamic core and 18000 cycles
# translates into an 486DX CPU running at 720 MHz.
core=dynamic
cycles=18000
cycleup=1000
cycledown=1000

[render]
frameskip=1

[autoexec]
@ echo off

rem A full install requires 140 MB free disk space.
mount C "C" -freesize 200

rem Without the -ioctl option, the game refuses to run.
mount D "K:\" -t cdrom -ioctl

D:

echo on

rem Install and/or run StarFighter 3000.
