The website says it is based on a modified dosbox and dosbox supports only Tseng Labs SVGA according to https://www.classicdosgames.com/tutorials/advanceddosbox.html but that page says you could try PCem if you want Trident. Not sure if PCem is available for Raspberry Pi, of course. In general, dosbox is quite versatile: https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Configuration:DOSBox Hercules, CGA, Tandy, EGA, PCjr, VGA, S3 Trio64 SVGA, Tseng Labs ET3000 SVGA, Tseng Labs ET4000 SVGA, Paradise SVGA, VESA with VBE 1.3 etc. https://devtidbits.com/2008/03/16/dosbox-graphic-and-machine-emulation-cga-vga-tandy-pcjr-hercules/ says the DOSBOX S3 Trio64 emulation is good enough for VESA VBE 2.0 including LFB. You can also check https://dosbox-x.com/ which funnily enough provides a HX-DOS based version which lets you run a DOS window inside DOS! Can help if your hardware is not directly compatible with your app. No Raspberry version, but supports ARM on Mac so maybe almost there?
