d3d7 is a land of highly cursed API inter-operability, and applications that for one reason or another mix and match d3d7 with older ddraw (not ddraw7) and/or with GDI are not expected to ever work
dgvoodoo2 (converts old DirectX into newer DirectX) is closed-source, so couldn't be included directly, but the author of that tool has likely worked through those quirks for many games already; it's probably worth having a conversation.

Thank you for helping to keep GamingOnLinux civil and safe!
