    Default Spectrum + PC Engine on GBA?

    I've just downloaded "Foon" for the GBA which only uses the Z80 filetype, most of the games I've found are in the TZX format, has anyone had any luck converting them to use with Foon, or should I be using a different emu all together?

    Also, anyone had any luck playing PC Engine games on GBA???

    (I'm posting this in the GBA section also.)

    foon is better than zxadvance (at least it was last time i tried) you should load the tzx/tap files in a pc emu and save them as z80 snapshots right after they start to run.

    The pcengine emu is very slow on most games.. not really playable

    Don't SNA format snapshots work too? I have about 500 Speccy games on my flash cart and its great playing manic miner and trashman and jetpac and all the rest when you are out and about... or even on the loo.

    Bugger! It seems they have disabled the downloads at the moment.

    PLAN B:-

    Can only download one at a time I think, but hopefully this one actually works, and all the stuff you want can be found there. :|
