I actually used it on top of 1.4a and it worked fine, so not even sure that the 1.5 requirement is even a hard requirement just to get it to launch

On the subject of the definitive edition 1.4a - it's a known issue, solution is here;
Descent Version 1.4a Alignment Patch

Thanks. I was able to patch it to 1.5.
Regarding OP's patch, I wanted to give some feedback on the errors that I have noticed so far.
-no lighting effects from lazer beams, missiles, or flares (including enemy fire)
-fps counter display goes off screen, can't see the full number
-when I select the Spreadfire gun and then change it, the "ire" remains stuck on the HUD
-as others have noted, the sfx is sped up way too fast and the rear view HUD is messed up

That's just what I've noticed so far. I'll make a note if I come across more.
