What works
Gameplay and menus, as expected. LAN multiplayer is working fine too.
What does not
Widescreen support is nonexistant, and the camera zoom is poor.
I ended up using a hex editor to get a 1920x1080 resolution, and I downloaded a lua script to fix the camera zoom. See PcGamingWiki for details on how to fix this.

Additional Comments
Dotnet20 was the only DLL needed. Note that the widescreen resolution and camera zoom issues also exist in the windows version, so the gold rating still applies.
