Thanks for this report. Comparing this with real footage on YouTube, I suspect both pixel and vertex shaders could be failing currently. That, or incorrectly transferred render states.

Summarizing on @gandalfthewhite19890404 video: Loading animation doesn't update most of the time. Before the menu is shown, a white quad nearly covers the entire screen for a while. The menu looks perfect. Going in-game, Cxbx-Reloaded shows a texture conversion popup and crashes immediately afterwards.

On bd29526e(02 March 2018) game looks much better. But it runs too fast so very difficult to play. Graphics still corrupted but you can see almost all you need.

Notice:
game looks different from other user's tests on my PC AMD5830 - missing graphics in main menu for example. Maybe on Nvidia it give me different results, I could test tomorrow.
Here is test from Esppiral, game looks better(main menu - significant better) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJSDWzTKq9w

Current master b4badcd2 (19 Mar 2018) has serious regression - missing and currupted graphics.
GPU - NVIDIA GT210 .
Also game is crashing during new game intro. Error same as before, it regressed in PR970, report is above.



Image turns to black appearantly - PR#994.
Horizontal stripes(but you can see anything) - need more investigation - its was some time ago.
Update - white stripes seems GPU issue, need tests on other hardware. I tested bd29526e on AMD5830 - no stripes, GT210 has it.

I think sound issues are solved, at least on my PC. Please test it on your hardvare and confirm.
Edit 13.04.2018 - sound issues still present. Most noticed - looping voice in new game intro FMV.
