Issues unresolved
Background music
The background music will not play on Windows Vista or newer systems. The game reads the audio from the CD in audio-CD format in some fashion that is incompatible with more recent versions of Windows.
You can get the background music to work by converting it into .ogg format, using files found on this site: Diary of a Punk Rock Hacker: Cross-Platform Classic Game Hacking - this solution should work both in Windows and WINE, according to the programmer.
If the download is unavailable, you can try to get it from one of these locations:
