The menu options in the "Emulate CPU speed" group simply change the emulation speed (by increasing/decreasing CPU cycles), so if selecting "CPU-> Emulate CPU > speed-> Pentium III" helps then it means the configured emulation speed is quite slow. Try set "cycles=max" (and probably also "core=dynamic"), e.g. "DOSBOX-X -SET CYCLES=MAX -SET CORE=DYNAMIC" (with the default memory of 16MB as in latest builds). Every time I launch NDN from DOSBox-X (HX-DOS version) it appears to run, but the wait time for the UI to appear does vary depending on the settings on the DOSBox-X side. Hope this helps.
