I've been trying to do the exact same thing lately, maybe someone else would have some good insight but I wasn't able to get a good experience. I ended up just buying a copy on eBay, because I can always sell it later for the same price.

Depends what you consider "genuine".

If you don't mind playing it on handheld, the PSP version is the most complete in english, and has the option to have japanese voices with subs.

If emulators is all you have, the psp emulator can run dracula x chronicles which is where SOTN psp ver. is.

Don't use epsxe for starters, it's redundant. Use Mednafen, and output it to a SD CRT using crt emudriver.

Buy a PSP, hack it, and play the original PS1 eboot

It is a very popular game so basically every single emulator will work for it.

Mednafen in Retroarch has an option to remove bottlenecks, which removes slowdown in the game. So there's that.

The PSP version is good too. PPSSPP emulator.

I hear the corny voice overs added to the charm of the original PSX version and that they were taken out or changed for the PSP version. I guess it's something I could live without if the game is still more or less the same?

The corny voice acting is only funny at the beginning for the whole "WHAT IS A MAN" quote, but overall it's better to have the original japanese voice cast with english subs. Also PSP version brings back the familiars that were removed from the US version plus playable Maria.

The only reason why you would ever want to play this undubbed. Period.
