According to follow-up tweets, the game is not working perfectly on any emulator. Fans trying out the game will see graphical errors, if they get it to work. Some fans have reported seeing a blank screen.
Note: The game will currently not run 100% perfectly on any emulator. Expect many graphical issues with shadows and lighting, and some slowdown. It should however, work perfectly fine with flashcarts. pic.twitter.com/P5xwf5stbz

The group also explained the way they obtained the disc containing the game software.
“We purchased this disc containing the build from a private game collector in Sweden. The file date lists the build as being from December 1st 2000. It seems to be quite a late build of the game which is great, but it will need some hacking to be fully playable to the end.”
