Describe the problem:
There are quite a lot of graphical glitches happening in this game, and I've 
noticed them on other video plugins with other emulators too, unfortunately I 
cannot use Glide on this machine as it's too slow on it's integrated video 
chip. Here are a few things that I caught so far in the game:

- the characters show up as just black silhouettes in dark rooms -

https://i.imgur.com/oH7dCzb.png
- some textures aren't cut out to their mask (for example instead of the flame 
on a candle you only see the rectangle with the texture, or when casting 
electric shocks at the enemy the enemies are covered by the texture instead of 
wrapping to the outlines) - https://i.imgur.com/kBbOqxP.png -

- quick flicker and corruption on some backdrops, especially in battles -

- character graphics sometimes get blurry when blinking or doing certain 
actions, also they jitter or have the wrong "animation" frames being displayed
- "missing" graphics on the screen, especially on title cards -

- corruption and pixel garble on the screen when entering a battle or when 
dialogue boxes with transition effects pop up or in the in-game menu (start).

- slow down when entering some battles or entering some houses, and also when 
colours fade, also audio crackling is present during those times, but that's to 
be expected. Might be a plug-in configuration or gfx card issue.

I've tried to fiddle around with the video settings but so far they haven't 
caused any positive outcomes.

Hope my explanations made sense, if not feel free to ask for more details.

Most likely they won't make a quick fix unfortunately, the video plugin would 
probably need a work-through.
