After Burner Black Falcon still broken

[Bavanity]

For some reason my first time posting did nothing, as in, my topic wasn't created at all, so, I'll try again.

Issues with game:
Severe flashing on initial loading screen

Split down middle of menus

Sound doesn't work properly, in fact that's what makes the game unplayable - music doesn't play and effects get stuck on loop

It has been in this exact state for YEARS now, and I am begging the developer to fix it. It is my favourite after burner game of all time, and I am really wanting to play it in 4K.

Yes I have my PSP (although it's been years since I turned it on LOL, I wonder if it still works) and a UMD of the game that I have completed, but every PPSSPP release, I load it up in excitement to no avail. I wonder why this one game is so hard to fix? I have been through 3 different computers throughout the PPSSPP releases I have tried it on.

Funnily enough, it works in JPCSP, but upscaling is completely broken, in fact that app acts crazy so I uninstalled it ages ago.

Current Specs:
Alienware M17 R3
10980HK
2080S
32GB ram
Win 10 Pro 21H1

Cheers
I was finally moved to register at the forums to plead.

BTW I HAVE donated on an older email address, but I am happy to donate again, and again, once afterburner is fixed
