Try http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/. Good luck - in addition to it showing up only once or twice a year, it usually goes for around $150 (which is pretty decent considering its rarity, as it originally sold for around $130 MSRP when it was released back in 1994).

rinkya.com will place proxy bids for you in case the seller wont ship international. I've used them to get a few of my Japanese PSX games. It's pretty good and legit.

It randomly works. And really, it is randomly. I'd say I booted it twice out of hundreds of tries....

Well, first of all you'll need an ISO of the game and the boot disks. Then even if you have those, the emulator is by no means a piece of cake. You'll need a fast machine with plenty of memory, then there are all the procedures you need to go through setting up the emulator for the game. Then, even if you do get it to run, the game has PCM sound problems the whole way through. So anyone who wants it to run 100% perfect can't rely on emulation at the moment.ratperson665 wrote:Emulation.
If you want to have a go at finding a PC9821, here's a comparison chart of every model ever made and which features they have. You'll need a CD drive, a 3.5-inch floppy drive, Japanese DOS (a version between 5.0 and 6.2) with a few additional drivers I can give you, a sound card, 3.5 MB of RAM, and a serial port mouse (or a converter for another mouse). The earlier the CPU the better, as later models run the game too fast. Also, some models have 5.25-inch floppy drives, so you should try to avoid those. The game comes with a 3.5-inch system disk; at the time, Konami did a mail-in exchange for people with 5.25-inch machines. You could always try and make your own copy if you have access to both drives, but why go for an inferior and less-supported format anyway, if you're spending all that money? Finally, if you want to install the game to a HD to make it run faster, you'll need 17 MB free HD space. This stores all the graphics and programs in the game on your computer. If you just want to install its programs, you need 1 MB of free space.
The question marks in the file are there because it was originally composed on a Japanese computer. You don't have to worry too much about them.

Nice document =)
A shame that I believe it would be completely ou of the question trying to go to Akihabara and find one of this. I mean, it would be no easy task and it would probably end up in nothing.
