   I've just did something amazing.

   I've learned how to use MAME to emulate the Jupiter Ace.

   This is beautiful.

     MAME has a lot of details that make it weird to get used to. Learning how to use it overall is already pretty hard, although they have a decent manual... that's incomplete. In particular, keyboard stuff is weird, and I've only found useful documentation at http://mess.redump.net/mess/howto#emulated_keyboard, which was more than enough to make some sense out of it.

     Visiting ProjectMESS is mandatory (http://www.progettoemma.net/mess/system.php?machine=jupace), and oh boy what a mess. You can get the BIOS ROMs at http://www.forums1.jupiter-ace.co.uk/roms.html, but not the speaker's

     Oh, you can expand the RAM from 1KB to a whopping 48KB (!!!) by adding the parameter `-ramsize 49152`, nice :okfidget:
