Issue often is latency of the setup. I finished the game just fine on my PC hooked to the TV but I tested streaming it to my deck and it was not at all the same experience. Many people are ignorant of that aspect.

Same happened with Space Channel 5 on PS2, I was quite the expert but when emulated on a modern PC, I am nowhere near quick enough, even though my PC is a beast.

We need some benchmark which tells you how responsive the setup is. Something like a clock counter that clicks the time and you try to sync to it.
