Nice that you are using WP on dosemu2 on Ubuntu on Windows. I once spoke to someone active in research into keeping data (formats) and programs available for very long time (like centuries) and I always thought it was a no-brainer because one could just run X on Y on Z on A on B on C to get ancient software D working.

Allthough I also have to admit that this approach didn't work for my favorite game [0] but now that I'm googling, I does seem to work! So someone got DirectX 9 or something working?

Cryo Engine? Then SCUMMVM will implement that soon.

Compile Scummvm with

        sh configure --enable-all-engines --prefix=/opt
        make
        sudo make install
        /opt/scummvm/bin/scumvmm

Nightly builds (but they may not set the "--enable-all-engines" switch to configure/
