Emulators tested

Demul 0.5.8.2 (DirectX 10) – Sound emulation is not completely accurate and this can make some music (e.g the music on the title screen) sound wrong.

There are graphical glitches on shadows if you select the “disable auto sort” option. Unusually, turning the option off cures the shadow glitches but causes glitches on the characters instead.

Demul 0.5.8.2 (DirectX11) – Audio glitches as above, but visual quality is excellent. Running in this mode is particularly demanding on your PC. Make sure it is configured for optimal performance and reduce visual quality options if necessary.

Makaron T12.7 – Untested.
