The DotEmu Steam version seems to have issues with modern CPUs, running between 56FPS to 58FPS when core affinity is set to anything more than just CPU0. This can cause the music and visuals to skip. There's currently no way to bring the game to a solid 60FPS (setting core affinity to use only CPU0 brings the game to a max 58FPS).[citation needed]
