Could I put the Japanese Macintosh version somewhere on Archive.org, so we could have it easily available ? Instead of Macintoshrepository link cause I haven't found it elsewhere on Internet ?

Slight addition: the CD-ROM version works fine too. Google Translate's camera function really helped out there. (Though you have to load the Japanese language in DOSBox first or the text is gibberish.) Basic form is press 2 for IBM mode instead of PC-88 at the first screen, enter on the message about creating a floppy disk, enter on the bottom-most option (it will install to C:\PUYO2 by default, which is fine) and for some reason it defaults to cancel so left and enter to select continue. You'll probably want to set it to use SB-16 audio. (It seems there is no MIDI configuration so you're stuck with FM synthesis sadly. I don't know why they even used a CD-ROM with audio tracks and then didn't even make CDDA tracks for the game's music.)

I tried the rip version first and it seemed to run fine. Maybe you don't have enough cycles set? I am using DOSBox-X, but I don't think it would make a difference for this game. Modern computers are really fast now, so I go ahead and emulate a pentium 1 level machine with pentium_mmx type and fixed 52000 cycles and the only thing that doesn't run fine seems to have some sort of bugs or something rather than the system not keeping up. This is fast enough for pretty much any game that says it needs a pentium for maximum quality settings. If in doubt though, try setting cycles=max instead.

I tried playing the RIP version of Puyo Puyo 2 on DosBox and it was really sluggish and slow.
