>mediafire link works on my end,
Oh, that's weird. I don't know if I ever tried it myself (because frankly I was already saying "fuck this" as soon as I saw it was MediaFire, and the Google Drive thing was just the cherry on top). There's a comment on the Steam guide claiming the link was expired in February of this year, and the guide itself hasn't been updated since a decade ago, so I don't think there was a re-upload to MediaFire. Maybe it was un-expired or maybe the comment was wrong. It looks like the guy who posted Google Drive links isn't the same guy who originally posted the guide, in any case.
As for cutscene stretching, it's not as immediately obvious as on the HUD and menu which both have circles, but they're letterboxed in 4:3 and still letterboxed in 16:9, so I do believe they just get stretched.
