Unless you really need to run DosBox under Linux, I suggest you try running WC3 under Windows XP with VDMSound. I was able to finish the game using Windows XP, VMDSound 2.1 and the alternate joystick drivers you can find here in the Wing Commander CIC site.

Wing Commander III runs way too slow under the current DosBox 0.61. But thx to the newer CVS versions, it's really playable. - No sound crackling and movies play perfect for me. Now there are only two probs left:
-when hitting enemies in fight, it slows down a lot. Still playable, but very annoying
-on my rig it's quite unstable. After finishing some missions dosbox just crashes back to desktop.

To clarify, the above post is in regards to the following quote:

Guys, I use Windows 98se and I can run the game, except that the video skips because my DVD ROM is too fast. Is there a way to emulate the DVD ROM speed through DOSBOX?

Where can you get Nero Drive Speed?
