I've started using this quick .pok file I made, its mainly for debugging and applies the following:

 

Infinite Lives

Immunity (a four part poke: to arrows, fire cells, nasties and long falls)

Disable Conveyors

Infinite Time

 

JSW1_Immunity_POK.zip

 

Note it does *not* provide keypad bypass, 'writetyper' or anything else such as 'auto collect'. The user must manually add / amend these extra's if required. :) It was simply created for debugging so Willy could wander the mansion in relative ( ! ) safety.

Thanks, one of my favourite ones is 36545,0, originally published before the Banyan tree cell was corrected or perhaps as an alternative, it has the somewhat bizarre effect on ceilings and floors; go to any place where there is no gap between Willy's head and the ceiling and jump. Willy gets sucked up through the ceiling or sinks through the floor depending on whether he's at the top or bottom half of the screen. Also try jumping in places with limited headroom just to really confuse matters. Probably best accompanied with the unlimited fall poke...

Ah I remember that one, I think there was another that would move Willy up walls but that never quite worked. Try this instead ;)

 

Walk through earth cells (use with caution!) makes earth cells behave like water cells, well mostly:

 

POKE 36346,0

POKE 36451,0

POKE 36892,0

POKE 36909,0

POKE 37003,0

POKE 37020,0

POKE 37031,0

I remember trying that one out a while back and discovering that whilst Willy could jump up a column of Earth blocks, he could only get so far (halfway up - ironically it was on the screen 'Halfway up the East Wall' that I noticed it!)

 

It's just occurred to me that the reason must be something to do with the fact that the playing area is drawn in two halves of eight cell-rows each.

I think ( ? ) that one was originally put as 'make walls act as a lift, sucked up walls' or suchlike. It was not terribly reliable though unfortunately and you could suddenly fall through a floor for instance too it seemed.

 

Mine (I'm not blowing my own trumpet honest!) does seem to work reasonably well, it does not always work I'll admit for climbing at least but you can pass through walls and usually climb them, if you get stuck simply move a fraction left or right and re-try jumping.

Try this for a quirky manoeuvre:

 

- Open up a JSW file in a hex editor;

- Change the value of #8E2F to #18 (or do POKE 36399, 24);

- Place Willy at the bottom of the 'ladder' in Ballroom East;

- Hit jump.  Try both short stabs at the jump key, and long presses.

 

EDIT: Then place Willy at the bottom of a long ramp (such as First Landing, or Back Stairway/West Wing/etc), on the 'outside' of the ramp, and keep both jump and the sideways movement key depressed - watch Willy shoot up the ramp!
