> Looks like the main blocking problem was that the game was stuck in a loop looking for a multimedia system DLL that was missing, because it assumed there would always be a CDROM available. OP lucked out that the code that called winmm.dll had a GitHub link and he could just patch it.
Not quite, from my understanding.
The DLL was already patched in GOG version (using the one from GitHub) to redirect any resources from CD-ROM to a local one; however the patch isn't working in Win10 due to some relative path issues (which I'm not sure why; the issue is having system32/ prefix at various places, which Win10 does have?). He patched the DLL again by removing these system32/ paths, and it works again.
