I have to use the third party library in Windows as well to make the game work.
According to the guy who fixed the library, the game had poor coding.

I took a better look at what was happening in cshell.dll and found out that it
uses DirectX 7 to capture images like those in the load/save screen. DirectX 9
or above works differently and has to "emulate" DirectX 7 functions, this is
why its slow. Unfortunately there is no easy fix for this.

Here's my final cshell.dll (load/save time has been fixed):

Basically anything to do with capturing images has been removed and hence you
will only see a black image in the load/save screen and simmilar. This is
graphical only and wont ruin gameplay."
