Castlevania fangame for the ZX Spectrum 128

Very impressive! Any Speccy emulator experts here? I want to give this one a try on my old Vista laptop that I have hooked up to a CRT monitor via S-video, but I can't seem to find one that works as intended. Either I only get like 7 frames per second or the sound is **** up because the emulator I used doesn't support the Yamaha soundchip this game needs.
Emulation's nice when done well

That's great. I love how (at 6:30) it uses almost invisible secondary colours on the background to show through on the sprites. Like scratch art. I don't remember ever seeing colour map clashing being used as a feature like this. Nice effect.

I have this running fine on ZXSpin now. But I really want to play this on real hardware. :oops:
