Key points

Emulated port of the original arcade version.
Suffers from video and performance issues.[1][2]
Audio is slightly inaccurate compared to the original.
Based on the overseas version with the gore DIP set to "Soft", which makes blood green compared to the "Hard" gore DIP; and removes a Christian cross from one of Cristopher's moves and one arrow sign variant compared to the Japanese version.[3]
Has a bilinear filter that's impossible to turn off.

Issues fixed

Massive Flickering and Stuttering

The game uses a Vsync (Enable by default) to limit itself, but if a high-frequency update monitor is used, the game will present flickering and stuttering problems.
Limit the Framerate to 60FPS[citation needed]
Set refresh rate on 60hz[citation needed]
