I messed around with it some more today and this is my current method to get it working as good as possible, both with plus and oomsest:

>when you extract the game, make sure you use the shift-jis mode in unzip to avoid messed up japanese filenames
>both 32bit and 64bit wine prefixes seem to be fine for elona
>use winetricks to install dinput, quartz, directmusic, gmdls
>if you get shitty sound crackling (either earrape when you first open the game or the music getting choppy after its been playing for a while) then use winetricks sound=alsa

I had a few prefixes when I was experimenting where the audio was still crackly after all this. I don't know why. But I have both a 32bit and 64bit prefix that are fine now. You might still have some audio delay. Also if you care about playing in japanese then you'll want to install fonts like otf-ipafont and ttf-hanazono to fix alignment issues and you gotta run the game with LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 after the prefix part of the command and before the wine part of the command.

Then today I was screwing around trying to get the MP3 music mods working, because I have a lot of nostalgia for the official one. No dice, but I did find something:

>use winecfg in your prefix, go into libraries and change "dsound" to "builtin"

On a fresh prefix, I could at least use foobar to play the MP3s. But once I installed the winetricks stuff needed to get the game audio itself working, that'd break foobar and it wouldn't be able to play the MP3s anymore. This tweak seems to fix that, though I still can't get the game itself to play the MP3s for some reason. Also, I don't know if it's also thanks to this tweak or just something else I changed without realizing, but after changing dsound to builtin, I no longer had the audio delay on sound effects (ie. menu sounds) that I did before I changed it. It was pretty bad before that, like at least half a second delay.

Anyway, I hope this helps somebody, and if anybody knows how to get the game playing custom MP3s on loonix, then let me know. I'm out of things to try and ready to just assume it doesn't work atm and just listen to music through something else while I play if I'm sick of the midis.
