Hi, i've got one one game from my childhood, Wrath Of Earth. I had this problem before, in 1996 and i have it now (lol), when i'm trying to play it via dosbox i've got this error message:

What do i need to change in dosbox.conf to fix this issue?

Try different output options in the dosbox config.

And the others? Also please try dosbox 0.74, not only a build by Ykhwong or others with multiple patches that might pose a problem.

Use fixed cycles of around 10K (cycles=10000) to avoid flickering, and the FM music will work more reliably with that setting as well. WoE uses a 320x240 video mode with square pixels that don't need aspect correction, and enabling aspect correction in DOSBox 0.74 will cause the display to be slightly blurred, so I suggest the aspect=false setting for this particular game.

Thx. Btw, any way to know what cycle number will be ok for specific game before i start? Maybe there is a way to calculate this?
