Key points
- The most definitive version of the game so far. Better performance and widescreen support than emulating the game on Dolphin.
- A few cutscenes are kept in 4:3 aspect ratio.
- Game speed bound to frame rate and no frame skipping; any framedrops will slow the game down. With over 60Hz monitors cap the frame rate to 60 FPS or change monitors refresh rate to 60Hz.

- This method has some problems when also using Nvidia Control Panel.
