Hi
It has been very very long time since my last mail for the discussion group.
About Shogi for Gameboy Advance, I think it's Morita Shogi, right?
Actually, we can download emulator and games from internet and we can
try for free. Even the game is in Japanese, but not that hard to understand
and the emulator works well in any languages of windows system. The thing
you need is DirectX7.0 or better. You can download directX from

http://www.microsoft.com/directx

Here you can download Emulator, I recommend [Emulator] VisualBoyAdvance-0.8

http://www.emusource.net/new/emu.html

and the game list is

http://gbxemu-com.times.lv/txt/gba/roms.htm

Morita Shogi is #0119. The game itself is not that strong, but
since it's 10 second Shogi even you are leading but don't move
fast enough you will lose.

Good luck and have fun.

Tarin
