No music
In order to have music in-game it is obligatory to have a genuine copy of the game in your CD/DVD drive. If you own a legit copy of the game and have a dump of the game then you can mount it as a virtual drive. It is recommended to use Alcohol or Daemon Tools which support CDDA audio mounting. |
