Probably. I only really took another look at it because I wanted to
fix the misconversion of the 2x2 block in Jim's Nasium. But once
there, I started tinkering with other aspects of the conversion, and
the rest was history.

I wonder if the guardian speed is actually the same as JSW48, and

the reason it looks faster when I run the emulators side-by-side is
that the Dragon version is clocked to run faster overall?
Of course, now that the Perpetual Motion variants exist, I can check
that out. Set Willy running in JSW-PM in a Spectrum emulator, sit the
Dragon emulator alongside, and have a little race.
Yes, HGs and Willy both move faster in the Dragon emulator than the
Spectrum one. Which implies that I ought not to be scaling vertical
guardian speed either. Back to the drawing board.
