Hum, the demo seems to run (without problem) on a Voodoo 4 4500 under DirX8.1b.
But i read the official forum and it sounds sometimes that the game is not the demo.
I posted in the support forum about the problem so for now "wait and see".

the Voodoo 4 supports 32 bit textures, a Voodoo 3 does not this may be why it doesn't work, the error message mentions not supporting 32 bit textures.

Indeed SFFT :)
Since the Voodoo 3 supports the 16 bits and the game also...
so grisfano, choose in the options of the game the 16 bits.

UpDate :
This game would need "only" DirX8.0 so for a game from 2003 and since the config. is not very demanding, we can hope that many cards and specially "old" can run this game in good conditions.
