sony replaced that software with "reader for PC"- the older program will not recognise T2, T3 readers. The new program, as I said previously, looks nothing like what you see on the reader, as it opens to a default 2 page view.
To nitpick further: unless the app/emulator comes with its own fonts, you are going to have a mismatch between the devices own "original" font ( which is probably copyright and not available to Windows) and the windows/ Mac/whatever fonts which your app uses in-place-of.
SO once you are in the realms of foreign/special characters, something may look OK on the big screen but appear as a ? or blob on the reader, because it is not in the reader's defaul font set.
