The game will indicate that all crystals have been collected by sound cue and the border colour changing from red to green.
The issue is, that the border colour is never shown on emulators, so you must pay attention to the sound cue.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/
even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_saves
folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings). - ↑ 2.0 2.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (358260) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
