dege, have you tried to check it out the ddraw wrapper gog is using of late?
Chaos gate doesn't work on dgvoodoo 2 but that one looks like zeus own work on it, and it working flawlessly here.

it also seems that it hooks directplay and wing32.dll too into its workings.

No, I didn't try it.
dgVoodoo's GDI hook is currently targeting video playback, so it's "write only", but I've been planning to improve it, it's just not that high priority, though I don't know how many DDraw-GDI games exist.

interestingly though, the wrapper supports integer scaling and vsync.
