Twisted Metal 2 PC Port Audio and Resolution Fixer

FEDORA KDE 44 WINE/PROTON 9.0 Source: r/TwistedMetal Audio & Top-Left FMV Bug
Detected Reddit Issue Context: "No sound card detected in audio settings; volume options reset on exit. FMVs and menus shrink into the top-left corner of the screen."
Audio Card & Sound Driver Emulation SOUND CARD NOT FOUND

Patch Wine Registry Sound Keys

Creates DirectSound GUID bindings & prevents volume settings resetting on exit

Enable WinMM Redirection (music/CDDA)

Intercepts legacy MCI CD audio commands & maps to modern media player

SYNTHESIZED 8-BIT STEREO PROBE
FMV & Menu Viewport Scaler CORRECTED (CENTERED 4:3)

Twisted Metal 2 uses 320x240 / 640x480 DirectDraw surfaces. Modern compositors (KWin Wayland on Fedora KDE) cause the unscaled surface to anchor in the top-left corner.

FMV INTRO 640x480 Pillarbox

Apply DDraw / DXWnd Aspect Ratio Wrapper

Forces proper 4:3 presentation and scales legacy viewport to modern native screen
