Windows 98 has full DirectX 9 support.

[Hard Core Rikki]

The periodic dx runtimes are not truly supported. DirectX is just backwardcompatible, nothing more.

[I.S.T.]

I believe the last DX runtime update that works in ME and possibly lower is DX931.dll or whatever it's called.

Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME Are Unsupported by the DirectX SDK 

Starting with the December 2006 SDK, the DirectX SDK does not support targeting of applications for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, or Windows ME. The D3DX DLL does not install or load on these legacy operating systems. To support these legacy operating systems, use the October 2006 SDK or an earlier version.

The good thing is, that the D3D X DLL in VBA is just needed for text rendering and nothing else, so without it it should run fine. Or just disable D3D in a build.
