Basically it's a GDI game. It won't work with dgVoodoo even with GDI hooking enabled because the GDI rendering part is initialized before DDraw. 🙁

what if you forwarded GDI onto the host and and copied the natively rendered data for presentation later? bit like how gdi blitting can be done on d2d.

Probably because it is not a wrapper-to-newer-API
