Sonic Advance PC port: quick answers

Do I need to own Sonic Advance?: Yes. sa1 needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
Is the Sonic Advance PC port finished?: It is in beta: playable, with known issues, with no release so far.
Which systems does it run on?: Not confirmed yet. Check the project page for the systems it supports.
Is it an emulator?: No. sa1 rebuilds the game's source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.
