I tested Shiva Editor 1.9.2, download link and sha1 checksum is in comment #14.
With your patch applied, the application starts for me. Selecting quit from the
main menu freezes the application (quits properly with native dinput.dll).

In Wine 1.7.52 and with the dinput patch applied the demo needs "only" the
'wmp10 devenum quartz' trio to get it started. On the first screen select
<Start demo>, skip the intro video, enter a name and you're already in the main
menu :)

Nothing special except the above mentioned overrides for Arvoch demo.

I'm using pure Alsa (Pulseaudio is not running).
