Getting Tyrian 2000 to work on Steam Deck (ttrpg.network)

I know this might be a bit of a long shot, but I figured I would give it a go;

I am trying to get Tyrian 2000 to work properly on my Steam Deck, via installing it from my gog library on Heroic. While it managed to install correctly I have a few issues that need to be resolved before I can continue;

The controller support is non-existent. I am unsure if that is fixable, though I suspect I might be able to get around it by remapping the Steam Deck controls. Not really a problem though if anybody knows a solution I'd be happy to hear it.

The real issue is that the music is not playing. Sound effects work just fine, so far, but I don't get any music. I suspect it has something to do with Dosbox, given the age of the game in question.

That seems to have fixed the music problem, thanks!

I have a new issue though; I'm getting a phantom control input, seems to be pushing to the right sometimes. This is exclusive to Tyrian, so it's not a worn out stick or anything.
