As far as I know even DH is still only modifying the game at the data files level, not the "actual code" level (with the exclusion of the resolution edits).

So probably the fix for the left arm bug will work fine for DH or any of RizZen's other campaigns, but because of the new weapons I wouldn't bother using the weapon classification fix unless you revise the fix to match the modded weapons (which is unlikely to be worth the effort tbh).

In my experience it was not that hard (as far as 25 year old games go) to get running on a Windows 10 system, which is what I played MC1 on and made Mantis on. I wrote down the steps I used[1] but there are alternative approaches using e.g., dgVoodoo which are not hard to find if you search for them. As far as I'm aware there's no need to use a retro system to reliably run MC1.

If you are for some reason intent on playing MC1 on a retro rather than modern system, Mantis is just a glorified automated hex editor and you can byte-for-byte replicate what it does to the game exe by copy-pasting the hex edits which are already outlined in the OP (for the bug fixes) and elsewhere (for the rest of what Mantis does).
