Neko Project II fmgen and PC-98 Touhou (guide now included)

Yep, that all worked for me. Thanks! I've set my sound buffer to 80, because 40 is good, but has faint fuzzing if you listen well, though 80 is a bit lagged. :\ (50 destroys it for some reason)

But on another note, LLS runs exceedingly slow, but runs. (regardless of that 5 or 2.5 GHz change) I'm not sure what the problem with it is. MS runs fine though. (and it seems this computer can't run the games at full speed when lots of stuff is happening, since it slows down, reminiscent of T98-Next all over again. I already plan on getting a new system)

Yep, and I figured out what was doing it.  The LLS disk image loads some MS-DOS stuff that it really doesn't need.  I made a new MS-DOS disk that includes all the PC98 Touhou games on it, with updated MS-DOS and no extras on startup (HIMEM, etc.), and LLS worked fine.  In fact if you set the GDC to 2.5MHz you can basically play all the games from the same disk.  Although HRtP has problems but I think it was mis-copied, I think because some of the files were originally corrupted and make copy/xcopy mad.

Arcorann:
I noticed the emulation speed slowdown on LLS as well; simply renaming config.sys fixes it to a similar speed to the other games.

Speaking of emulation speed, does anyone have an idea as to the lowest CPU multiplier setting that would run the games without in-game slowdown? There has to be a certain sweet spot (too low e.g. x20 and there is distinct slowdown in-game; too high and the emulation won't run at full speed).

And a couple of interesting things I've found out:
* It turns out that np21 has existed since version 0.80 (2004). Probably the reason why no-one in the western Touhou community ever found it was because the download link is non-obvious (it's the line below the source code downloads).
* Hourglass r81 seems to work with Neko Project II (the only major problem is that for some reason loading a savestate will cause a desync), which means that should anyone feel like creating a TAS of a PC-98 Touhou game using re-recording, they are now certainly able to.

Momiji:
I run mine at x32 (78MHz), YMMV depending on the speed of your computer.

I run mine as well at that same speed. Seems to work well, even with this old hardware computer.
