How about just getting the PC88 version? It's far superior to the MSX version in every single way possible.

I played all the way through the MSX version, and I just turned the frameskip up to 6. I had to read quickly, but it really sped up the load times. I think that the slowness has something to do with the translation. Anywho, if you do use the frameskip, then make sure that you turn it back to 0 for any action scenes.

Nope, the japanese original is just as slow. I guess they did a bad job in porting the original PC88 version, because SD Snatcher runs fine with acceptable load times.

Changing the emulated system from MSX2 to MSX Turbo F helps a lot. And the translation group (guy?) hacked the ctrl key to fast forward the game.

I hope this helps.
