General information

MMKB, A large and detailed wiki for the series

Key points

The lighting in the PC port is very missing. As a result, shadows are basically non-existent. Comparisons: PSX 1, PC 1; PSX 2, PC 2

The music for the PC port is noticeably lower quality than the PSX version due to Capcom using low-quality recordings of the PSX music. See the Unfinished Business Patch for higher quality music
