Does this also work with an original game? I've still got my install disc from the og version and don't care to buy it again if I don't need to.
yes, you only need a file called "diabat.mpq" which you can extract from the installer or copy from an existing installation.
hellfire requires some mpq-files as well, but those can be obtained in the same fashion.
Ok figured it would but everything I read referenced they're gog version.

This page explains how to copy the files from your original CD.
I think gog is just the most common method and so it is always referenced. Not many people these days have physical media anymore.
Should work just fine.
Or have the physical media, but no optical drive
