Actually, I have observed this working (without using a patch) for quite 
a long time as long as:

1) The Windows version is set to one of the "NT" ones
2) The ide-scsi option is NOT included when booting
3) The authentic CD-ROM is in the drive

Sometimes it hangs up after printing those three lines above, but 
killing the wine process and restarting it generally fixes it. 
Normally, there is a (longish) pause and a lot of CD-ROM activity after 
those lines are printed before the game screen comes up.  If I have 
ide-scsi turned on, it just keeps accessing the CD-ROM until I kill the 
process.

I just tried the very latest from CVS and it crashed inside winmm.c 
until I disabled sound, but as it used to work perfectly (with -opengl 
anyway) I will go and find the update that broke that.
