Subject: JSW on the Gameboy Advance!
Take your JSW games everywhere... there's now a spectrum emulator for the
Game boy advance which you can "equip" with JSW, MM, JSW2 etc etc!
Obviously you need a blank cartridge (start at about £100 for cart & writer
from liksang.com but don't forget to have about £15 ready for port taxes when
the courier delivers it!) - although if you're not a GBA owner you can always
run it under the PC emulator VisualBoyAdvance although it is pretty pointless
doing that if you have the speccy emulator. You need a seriously loaded PC
(P1000 recommended!) to run Visualboyadvance too else it's jerky.
Check out GBXEMU.COM for more info...
The game plays and runs perfect and at full speed and the music is spot on -
you can even use all your old favourite pokes and cheats using the inbuilt
poke tool, just remap the keys so select is ENTER, left is O, right is P and
jump is Z or CAPS SHIFT and you're off - JSW anywhere. A quick note that the
screen resolution of the GBA is a tad smaller than the old Speccy so there is
a slight "squishing" and loss of a few scanlines but not distracting at all.
