It appears that it can't be run from within DOSBox. Starting HEAVEN7D.EXE results in:

DOS/4GW Protected Mode Run-time Version 1.97
Copyright (c) Rational Systems, Inc. 1990-1994
MMX instruction set required!

Such games are apparently relatively recent, around year 2000. For them I think native SB support is better than any emulated ones.

He plans to support INTEL and Radeon chips it seems. Not sure about others. Some of the information is available from:
