So I managed to get a PC-98 machine that satisfies the narrow set of conditions for running a PC-9801-14 soundboard (slow CPU mode that approximates a V30, it can be faster, no sound ROM, and the ability to remap devices away from INT5/6/whatever resources the 9801-14 takes up.), and then since the GreaseWeazle couldn't write a N88-BASIC disk (seriously does any of this shit I find online even work?), I just used a FlashFloppy. While 2 of the images I tried wouldn't load because let's be honest N88-basic disk support is jank as shit for floppy emulators and writers, a .d88 file of Galaga did and I was able to find out something major: NP21w and seemingly no PC-98 emulators are able to actually emulate most N88-Basic games using the 9801-14 due to the fact that the sound ROMs are undumped.

Good thing I've got a copy of those too. How many PC-9801 games were missing music because nobody has this rare TMS3631 based sound card?
