Subject: Re: [Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy] Re: How can I get Jet Set Willy
Thank you - I have managed to download the Real Spectrum emulator, got it up
and running and am working my way through the games. Brilliant stuff!! Sound
works with Windows XP and everything.
When I first started playing the games Willy seemed to be moving very slow,
like wading through glue - because I was used to playing the Jason Brooks PC
version. After a while I tried that version again and it was almost
ridiculously fast. Now definitely prefer the more sedate pace... strange
that.
This is probably a stupid question but is there any way of changing and
saving the start-up settings of Real Spectrum? It always starts in a tiny
little window and I have to use F11 to change to full screen, things like
that. Also is there any way of saving high scores, games, etc. or will I
just have to rely on pen and paper?
Once again thanks very much for the info.
I am having a ball reliving these old games!

I recommend that you download a Spectrum-emulator, and download Jet
Set Willy in emulator-format. Links to all the different MM/JSW games
(for the Spectrum, and also non-Spectrum remakes) can be found on my
website.RealSpectrum [ http://www.ramsoft.bbk.org/realspec.html ] is a great
emulator, although there are many others if RealSpectrum isn't for
you [ http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pak21/cssfaq/emulator.html ]. For
Windows XP, be sure to download the Windows version of RealSpectrum
(RS32), as the MSDOS version may not have sound under Windows XP. And
don't forget the standard ROM-files (a separate download).I have just acquired a brand new PC running Windows XP Home, and I am
already up and running with RealSpectrum! :-) The only problem is
that sometimes it goes into a mode where you press a key and it holds
that key for about ten seconds, ignoring all key-presses in the
meantime. If this happens, it seems that the only solution is to
close RealSpectrum and reload it.--
