Emperor Zurg Bug on Windows 7+

With modern hardware, on level 12 the boss fight with Zurg is almost impossible. He will always be too far away to hit him with a spin attack.[1]
You can still beat Emperor Zurg, the way to do this is by getting him cornered and trapped between 2 wall corners. Once you get him cornered, charge up your spin attack, release the spin attack, quickly jump forward and pull back, otherwise your fall down, repeat this until he gets defeated.
Use a 100% save to bypass this level or use a trainer
An alternative solution is to use a program to limit the CPU usage and make it not go above 1 Ghz with BSE (Battle Encoder Shirase).

Background music distortion

After an unspecified amount of time, the background music will become distorted. Pausing and un-pausing the game will fix it, but restarts the music.
