DPMI: See DOSBOX Guides forum. In short: built-in DPMI support was removed. CWSDPMI (free 32 bit DPMI server) works . I do not have any experience with 16 bit DPMI (I have never met any program which would require it and refused to run without it).

I do not have/know the game, so I cannot tell you anything specific to that.

I just tried running Hammer of the Gods to see if I could get it to work. The intro plays fine but as soon as it attempts to load the game it hangs... No crash or error. I noticed when it hangs the CPU cycles drop down to 0. I messed around with various settings in the "dosbox.conf" but no such luck.

EDIT: Out of curiousity, did you download Hammer of the Gods from "the-underdogs"? If this is the case you need to play the game by typing "hamgam z" at the command line. This should enable you to play the game under DOSBox. Have fun 😀
