As of CX Games 9.0 the CD copy protection mechanism is no longer the startup blocker. It now stops at trying to playback some .mp3 sound file (it may take a few minutes to get there, startup is slow, be patient). This is due to a missing mp3 codec file.
I know of two workarounds:
(1) Get a windows mp3 codec file (e.g. l3codeca.acm, or install a codec into the bottle), copy the file to ~.cxgames/name_of_bottle/drive_c/windows/system32 folder and rename it to winemp3.acm
(2) Delete the folder with the mp3 files in your ~.cxgames/name_of_bottle/drive_c/path/to/game folder. You will have no music but you can get into the game.
