Okami HD has the same issue, and dropping this DLL into that game's root folder fixes the issue.
When I encountered the issue with Okami, I did some Google searches and didn't find anyone coming up with a viable solution or patch for that game. I tried this out on a whim because I remembered the crackling issue with Crash and had a hunch the same thing was happening in Okami.
It may be worth considering adding Okami HD as one of the games that can benefit from this fix.
