I ran Linux Mint 21.2 with DOSBox 0.7.4-3 and an older DOSemu2.

In DOSBox Blocek starts and shows:
START-1/3
START-2/3
then the whole DOSBox crashes (GUI disappears).

In DOSemu the window changes to black and then crashes (GUI disappears).
It did not work in all other tests, so you can forget it completely.

I added some games from the FDT2307 CD (mistral, qtetris, vitetris, they all need cwsdpmi, some had version 5, one had version 7.
The games worked fine, I upgraded the version 5 cwsdpmi to version 7, no problem. Only Blocek crashed. I tested version 5 with Blocek, it also crashed.
So cwsdpmi seems to work (at least in parts). No idea why it causes a crash at
Blocek anywhere at end of 2/3 or at 3/3.
Hope this clears your questions.
