Key points
- Some crashes and other issues on modern operating systems, though modded exes fix this.
- Unofficial patches eliminate loading times.
- 40 FPS lock (slightly slower animations than PSX), 15 and 18 FPS FMVs.
- Some sounds are inferior in quality to the PSX i.e. voices of the spirit forges and blood fountains lacking echo.

Essential improvements
CubanRaul's modded exe
- Fixes a host of crashes, fixes credits, fixes speed bugs, removes the CD check, and offers its own installation method that allows for modern path characters such as parentheses. Replaces and supersedes Raistlin633's modded exe.
Peixoto's patch
- Fixes the color bug and the artifacts on the mouse cursor on Windows Vista and 7, adds full compatibility with XInput controllers with working triggers and dpad and can force the game to run in 'HD' using a simple unfiltered scaler (the game will be less blurry but more pixelated)
Bink Video Support Pack
- A compilation with every Bink video support patch from NosGothica.org, which has shut down.
- Includes Bink files of the FMVs from the PSX version, which have better video quality and stereo sound.

Issues fixed
System Locale/Language Check Failed
- This error occurs on game startup with modern Windows when your language for non-Unicode programs is set to something the game doesn't "support" (note that in practice the vast majority of games run fine on different locales from their own).
