In order to make dxcfg.exe usable, you need to override ddraw.dll (there's a wrapper provided with game)

wine-5.22 (Staging)
AMD Vega 64
Threadripper 1950X

I installed via GOG installer:
setup_metal_gear_solid_1.0_hotfix_4_(41813).exe

I then installed DXVK

I was able to launch via:
env WINEPREFIX="/path/to/prefix" wine "C:\windows\command\start.exe" /Unix "/path/to/prefix/dosdevices/c:/GOG Games/Metal Gear Solid/mgsi.exe" "-w"

Initial startup is slow. Core 1 is basically at 100% and some music loops. So I switched to Software Renderer from inside the Game Menu to Software

Option -> Video/sound Options -> Advanced
Rendering Device = "Software"

The Software render experience was much smoother, however the window aligns to the top left in fullscreen & also can't be scaled beyond 640x480.

Settings in `dxcfg.exe` don't seem to have any effect to make it more playable.

Thanks, I didn't realize I could do that. I'm still new with these tools. Interestingly, the intro video speed on RX Vega speed is improved via "winetricks dsound dsdmo" -- as suggested here for MGS2 www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-bugs/2020-December/546130.html
