Spoiler

Step 1: Downloading and extracting NP2 (Neko Project II)

To download Neko Project II (henceforth referred to as NP2), use the download button, or go to the website of the emulator and download the version of np2fmgen.7z that has the newest "last modified" date, which should be at the top of the list. When NP2 downloads, extract the compressed folder using your favorite de-archiving software. 7Zip and WinRAR are recommended for this, but other software that can read and extract 7zip compressed folders will work just as well.
The program that you need to open is named np21nt.exe. If need be, open the program in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 2).

Step 2: Emulation Configuration

Once np21nt.exe opens, go to the Emulate tab, then select Configure. Change the following settings:

  • CPU Clock Speed: 2.4576MHz "x 48" or higher. Weak computers may be able to get away with "x 32".
  • Sound Buffer: 100ms or less
  • LPF: Enabled
  • QFM: Enabled
  • Sampling Rate: 44k or higher

When you are finished, the "Configure" screen should look like this:

Click OK. Then, go to the Device tab, then select Memory. Set the memory to at least 13.6MB. Click OK again.
Next, go to the Screen tab, then select Screen Option. Enable the Use Skipline Revisions option, and set the ratio to the maximum value (255). Hit OK once you are finished.
Now, reset the emulator by going to the Emulate tab, then selecting Reset.

The next two images will show the correct settings for each of the previous two screens, respectively. If I did not mention a setting that you see in the images, it can safely be left at the default.

Step 3: Final Configuration

IMMEDIATELY after you reset the emulator, hold the "END" key on your keyboard until you get to a screen that looks like this:

Go to the second option and press ENTER.

Scroll down using the up and down arrows until you reach the GDCクロック option. Once you reach this point, press the right arrow.
If this is done correctly, the highlighted option should read "2.5MHz". Finally, highlight 終了 and hit enter. Repeat this process one more time.
Finally, go to Harddisk, then IDE #0. This is where you select your .hdi or .t98 files. When you select your game, go to Emulation, then "Reset", and enjoy!

I have 2 issues. One is that the "drum" sound channel is silent, and the other is that all Japanese text is corrupted. I've tried using Locale Emulator which didn't work.

After I do all of the configurations, and open the game I get a screen that says "A>op", and I can't seem to do anything. Does anyone know what I'm supposed to do with this?

Obviously this is long after, but for people in the future, this translates to "You can't play 東方夢時空 normally without 2.5 MHZ. Sorry for the inconvenience, but switch to 2.5 MHZ, and then execute again."

This is something you need to fix in the in-emulator options, which is the part of the guide listed with he "end" button thing

For people having issues with the "End" key:

I found the solution. It seems that for whatever reason, Neko Project will never recognize any numkey as anything but a numkey, so if your computer binds end there, it won't work. Look up guides to bind it somewhere else via auto-key or something (I binded Windows+E for end) and that worked.
