The prince doesn't stop on a dime, this was a design choice. This recreated version plays the same as it did on OG hardware. If you're having difficulty, focus on holding and releasing the inputs and think of it as applying acceleration, where you want to release before you want the object to stop.

The controls are very similar to the original, however there's somethings you can't do like step then crouch.

Interesting. I think you can but the animation is way clumsier? I was testing against https://archive.org/details/msdos_Prince_of_Persia_1990

That's false. The controls are identical to the original and you can indeed step then crouch (⇧+→ ↓).
