Only way to play Rondo officially these days is in the Dracula X Chronicles or the Requiem port on PS4/PS5.

There's literally a translated ROM floating around out there, I played it last year on the PC Engine emulator

If emulation is too hard for you, then you unironically don't deserve to play video games.

...but it has been playable for free on PC for years (not even emulation, an actual hardware dump version has been around for nearly 15 years).

>yfw it's also not very good, despite the amazing presentation, music, sprite-work and even undoing the damage that directional whipping in SCIV did to subweapons

If you haven't played it yet then you don't really want to, it's not hard to find a way

>actual hardware dump
What? I thought that was just the ROM and the emulator (Mednafen) wrapped in an executable file so you just run it
