Try playing Lightning Force aka Thunder Force IV — it’s famous for its heavy metal soundtrack. In Higan it does not work, in Genecyst the sound is crappy (on older emulators on Windows I also were out of luck). In MAME it runs just fine w/o tweaks. Haven’t tried BlastEm though.

BlastEm is great but—despite is vaunted accuracy claims—is buggy as hell too.

It plays more games but that’s not the same thing as accurate.

MAMEs emulation is incomplete, that’s why there are bugs.
