Issues fixed

Music doesn't play in-game

To fix the music in Windows XP and beyond without compatibility mode all you need to do is this:
Description[citation needed]
  1. Open AM18.DLL with a hex editor such as HxD.
  2. Find the text dslite.dll (when you find dslite.dll there should also be a dsound.dll somewhere nearby).
  3. Change dslite.dll to dsound.dll (when you complete this step you should be seeing two dsound.dll entries around that area of the file)

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/610860/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (610860) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
