- The GUS uses software emulation to gain SB compatibility, right? There's your
- problem. Your emulation software is probably interferring with the program (I
- may be wrong. Ask other GUS owners who have the game). If it is, you better buy
- a CHEAP SB if you want to play the game at all or do without a mouse as it
- requires an SB or PAS to play the game.
