Hardware variations and spin-offs
Neko Project II's controls are not remappable. They're 2, 4, 6, and 8 on the numpad, arrow keys, enter, space, ctrl, z, and x. For games using the mouse, hit F12 to enable or disable mouse input. Use programs like Joy2Key to rebind other keys.
 
==Hardware variations and spin-offs==
===APC-III===
The [https://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=996 APC-III] is basically rebranded the original PC-9801, targeted at the western market.
 
No emulator specifically emulates this model, and it's unknown whether APC-III software could be run on regular PC-98 hardware, or otherwise.
===PC-9801FC===
A PC-9801F with Chinese character ROM replaced its Japanese Kanji ROM and addressed in a different scheme, targeted at the Chinese market.
 
Despite no emulators specifically emulating this model, PC-9801FC software could run on regular PC-98, hence it's possible to run them with regular PC-98 emulators, but all non-ASCII text strings will become gibberish as their character ROMs are encoded in different schemes, unless feeding in the character ROM of PC-9801FC either as ROM file or character mapping image into the emulator, which is not yet in public.
 
===PC-9801LT===
NEC's first attempt at mobilizing PC-98 which is not so successful, ending up with a machine with 3.8kg of weight and not fully compatible with the regular PC-98 series.
 
Only MAME and ePC-98LT provide emulation of this model and both are in preliminary stages.
 
===PC-98HA (Handy98)===
A handheld-sized PC-98, which is still not fully compatible with the regular PC-98 series as it's more similar to PC-9801LT in architecture.
 
Only MAME and eHANDY98 provide emulation of this model and both are in preliminary stages.
 
===N5200===
Despite N5200 being a different series of computers of NEC in the beginning, later N5200 models are just Hyper98 computer hardware with different BIOS.
 
No emulators provide emulation of N5200 yet.
