DJGPP programs will automatically load CWSDPMI if it is
on your PATH.

To get CWSDPMI (the official DOS extender of DJGPP), go to
http://come.to/yerrick
and download and unzip Allegro Setup. Place cwsdpmi.exe and
setup.exe in a folder on your PATH, and DJGPP programs such
as SNES9X, Quake, and the ever-popular puzzle game
DOSArena won't have a DPMI problem anymore.
