As part of my continuing adventures in getting G-Police to run, I tried running it through Wine using the Lutris launcher, and it worked! The game runs great, with working joystick controls.

There's a problem with the redbook audio soundtrack though. When you pause the game, it pauses the music. When you resume, it's supposed to unpause the music, but instead the music never returns. I managed to improve the situation by hex editing the exe to use YELLO-belly's cdaudio-winmm, but it's not perfect. Now instead of resuming immediately like it's supposed to, it restarts the track after a one second delay.

Is this as good as it's going to get, or can I improve it further?
