A wiki quote which, if my memory servers, is true:

"X-Wing Collector Series: — In 1998, X-Wing was re-released again on CD-ROM, this time as part of the Collector's Series, a compilation containing revamped versions of X-Wing and TIE Fighter retrofitted with the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter engine... ---> if you also have a Voodoo card in the system, might try selecting that as renderer device at the menu which pops up when you launch the game (do not know exactly which menu item but it cannot be too well hidden.

I could swear it was the same problem. Only drivers 27x.xx show this here. I have another guess. Do you have Anti-Aliasing forced in the nvidia control panel? I see X-Wing has this 2D cockpit. Nvidia drivers after 177.xx have problems with some DX5 and DX6 games when they mix 2D with 3D textures when AA is enabled (the well-known Falcon 4.0 weapon loading screen problem, all versions).
Note: When I meant "game" in the other post, I meant the one in my screenshot(Wildride!) not X-Wing.

Try this:
1-Get Nvidia Inspector: http://www.superdownloads.com.br/download/7/n … idia-inspector/
2-Create a profile for Xwing
3-Click on Show Unknown Settings...
4-On Pre_D3D9_Compatibility select the only available option from the list.
5-Click on Apply

Still without effect... why I have chosen this card?? If I could envision, these problems...

--EDIT--
I've did it! (partially though...)
I've installed Ykhwong's build, installed Windows 95 with 3dfx patch from kekko, and it works! Now I have 3 problems:
1. Is it possible to force Windows 95 to recognize joystick with more than 4 buttons? DOSBOX supports even 12 buttons, but Windows 95 not.
2. 3dfx emulation works near like a charm, but look:
boot000.png
The area marked with rectangle is a little bit "distorted", but I don't know why?
3. Speed...of course that depends from my own computer's speed...it is possible to force DOSBOX to use 2 processor's cores?

well, I have Thrustmaster 16000M, but for this joystick drivers for Win 95 doesn't exists. But if I install drivers for Cyclone3D, or a Primax Raptor 3D - it will be recognized. But only for 4 buttons...

Windows 95 might support more thatn 4 buttons but Dosbox only emulates 4. You might get somewhere by playing with the joystick modes in the conf

Which wrapper does this build come with? You could try some others to see if the distortion problem dispappears or the emulation speeds up.

well theres your problem then you need a stick that has win 9x drivers

ps: if you are going to install drivers for a tottally different stick at least use drivers from the same manufacturer
