    The timing may go out of sync, and can mess up your combos. To do that, go to the "speed" section of your emulator and then select Frame Skip.

    Each music has a unique beat, and may either speed up or slow down, throwing you off.

    This allows you to hear the enemy's "heartbeat", which tells you when to press the A button.

    You receive this in Chapter Two and enables you to practice combos on encountered enemies. The only difference is the enemies won't attack you, and PP will be returned once you exit the battle.

    Your computer may be overwhelmed from being run, and it may be a good idea to clear the temporary data.
