I ended up pulling the trigger on this as an impulse buy. You're basically buying this for the Boosted soundtrack remix which is good, but at full price this is a little expensive.

If you can get this on sale, it MIGHT be worth. I have been getting 2 frames of input delay based on testing recordings, but there are sound crackling issues still being reported to be happen randomly. Unfortunately the few people that have talked about this port have reported different results, input delays of up to 4-5 frames, and consistent crackling with music. I could recommend this cautiously on a sale since the game does provide some nice options like load/save state, rewind, online leaderboards, and stage select practice which could be better but is still useful. Would proceed cautiously since it seems like there's no known way to figure out if this will run well for you or not unless you download it and try it out first.

Edit 02/02/2024: Like I said before, you're basically buying this for the Boosted soundtrack. Now that Bitwave has released Batsugun and a few other games in Toaplan Shoot 'Em Up Bundle Vol. 3, you can get Batsugun without the Boosted soundtrack for $20 less on steam now. I can't wholeheartedly recommend this anymore unless you REALLY REALLY are in it for the Boosted soundtrack and you REALLY want to spend the extra money just for the remixed music.
