I can play screamer 2 with DOS32A and it's more fast than with DOS4GW in normal mode, but when I run DOS32A with S2_3DFX the game crash.

1st, dos4gw seems to be more compatible
2nd since Dosbox doesn't emulate a Voodoo card no wonder it crashes
3rd your caps lock key seems to be broken

Yes with DOS4GW there isn't any problem ,DOS4GW.EXE ver.2.01 with S2_3DFX.EXE runs good but it's very slow. My problem is why DOS32A crash if with de screamer 65000 colors and hig resolution it's OK, and very fast.
The only problem is trying DOS32A.exe with s2_3dfx.exe.

If it already works by default with its included dos4gw, then why try dos32a?

The difference is the speed, DOS4GW is very slow.
DOS32A is very fast.

I always thought dos32a's speed was a placebo effect
it certainly won't help the performance of any emulated 3dfx.

Not to mention that non release versions of Dosbox are generally not supported here. You will have to ask yhkwong directly

No but the techniques (fast-irq and the likes) are not significant usually.
Don't know for this game though.

dos32a does not support the method of loading glide2x.ovl so it won't work with any 3dfx stuff...
