(Revised description; Purge unconfirmed note (report back post tests if you can't confirm); Concerned that there is no problem related to progressivescan and that it seems odd that progressive scan would impact sound)
(this issue does in fact occur, just depends on the size you stretch the window to. it's a rounding difference of one pixel between elements.)

Muramasa: The Demon Blade unfolds during feudal Japan's Genroku era, a volatile time marked by warring factions and grave civil unrest under the reign of the evil Shogun Tsunayoshi Tokugawa. Play as two heroes thrust into this treacherous climate as they venture across the dangerous countryside in a race to collect an array of legendary cursed swords before the vile Shogun can reach them. Who will you encounter? Friend of foe?

Problems

Hanging

The game suffers from random hangs. Save often. Try to enable JIT recompiler. The hangs appear to only happen when the kite ninjas are onscreen for too long. Savestate when you see them and kill them first.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
