Using DxWrapper (Windows 10)^{[citation needed]}
Download the lastest release of DxWrapper. Go to <path-to-game>, and extract `dxwrapper.dll`, `dxwrapper.ini` and `ddraw.dll` (the last one is inside "Stub" folder) there. Open `dxwrapper.ini` and enable the `HandleExceptions` attribute by changing the 0 to a 1. Run the game.

Using _inmm.dll to fix audio

If the music isn't running properly because of a poor ISO rip, etc., and they're in their own directory, use _inmm.exe to fix it.

Make a backup of the game exe.
Download from here.
Install the program anywhere
Patch the EXE by draggin and dropping it into the PATCH tab. Overwriter.
Select the rightmost inmm.ini tab, and drag and drop the extracted music. Save the .ini in the same directory as the game folder.
Run the game. The background audio should now run properly.
