I can use only my
Mac for emulation (I don't have the balls or the time
to abuse the university PCs in that way ;-) ). The
only halfway decent Spectrum emulator for my Mac is
MacSpectacle, and I can't even upgrade to the latest version
(1.9.7), because every time I download it and transfer the
file to my Mac, it says the archive is damaged and
can't expand it. 128K mode on MacSpectacle 1.8.2 is
fraught with bugs, such that most JSW128 rooms get filled
with garbage. :-(

Would that I had time to familiarise myself with the
geography of all the JSW games! ;-(
