@Norman , welcome. :) Great info. I've approved your submission, thank you. Download > http://jswmm.co.uk/files/file/55-jsw-ve22-rv1/ Auto generated topic that goes with it > http://jswmm.co.uk/topic/284-file-jsw-ve22-rv1/

I'd say 'C' , I think 'B' is pushing it a bit too much as there's a lot to get around... :)

Well done on the loader :D , easy once you've done one.

Regarding speedlock, if you have any issues with the article just either stick a comment in the article (under the listing itself) or grab me if its something you'd not want to post. :) I'll assist you with this if I can.

I thought about adding a poke or three to use that other one or a for/next loop but its just as quick to copy/paste inside JSWED unless there's a need or a requirement to do it "externally" , its not an issue to dig out and create said POKES for this though.

That was the idea I had in my mind really to find one that was already "floating" so did not look too out of place. :)

Great stuff. :)

I can confirm that. The rev3a and rev3b are identical in the codeblock. A CRC check confirms this they both have the same value.

That works. :) I did wonder why it was like that then realised the 'continued jump effect' can easily cause an IDS, a good example is jumping up into Top Landing, its easy to get caught out by the guardian. Works well for "To the Kitchens..." / "First Landing" though. :D

I thought that was the XOR to reset the airborne indicator (see routine at 38064 in disassembly "Move to room above") specifically 38090, but if you NOP that out you end up with an IDS. :) I've not looked further at this yet...

Let me know if you need any help or have any issues. There is a SPLock "builder" I kind of assembled (you can find it in the articles system) with details on how to use it. I tried to make the article as easy to follow as possible, well I hope I did :D As an alternative can also build a higher speed loader too (as I did with MMFast Load) but that's not something I've written an article for yet as its potentially complicated as you need to in some cases manually alter bits of the code (its not 100% essential but it makes it more professional looking and tidy) :)

I might rustle up a quick loading screen$ or something for this if you want. :) If you have any thoughts on this (what you'd like really) just let me know. A vague idea would be to keep the title screen blocks (with or without the S.P triangle) and the "flashing" block from the original Basic underneath and finally add a line or two of your credits. Just a random thought...

View File JetSet Willy 2 (cheat) BBC Micro Jetset Willy 2 for the BBC Micro, written by Chris Robson. The download contains two .ssd disc files, both the 'cut down aka tape version' and the 'full disc' version. Note these are cheat versions with immunity applied. The author of the cheat/patch is unknown. The 'disc' version is about 95% identical to the Spectrum version in its layout and most of the familiar rooms are all present and correct. This version features all the mansion too, they are loaded in chunks as you progress through the game. Submitter Spider Submitted 02/04/2017 Category Jet Set Willy [Patched]  

View File JetSet Willy 2 BBC Micro Jetset Willy 2 for the BBC Micro. Written by Chris Robson. The download contains several files: 1. A tape version as a .uef file , this is commonly referred to as the 'tape' or 'cut down' version 2. A disc version of the tape version as an .ssd , this is just a .ssd of the .uef above 3. A disc version of the disc version That may not make sense but the 'tape' version is very much cut down and a lot of the 'mansion' rooms are absent to make room for the 'space' rooms instead. The 'disc' version is about 95% identical to the Spectrum version in its layout and most of the familiar rooms are all present and correct. This version features all the mansion too, they are loaded in chunks as you progress through the game. Submitter Spider Submitted 02/04/2017 Category Jet Set Willy [Originals]

View File JetSet Willy BBC Micro Jetset Willy for the BBC Micro. This version was written by Chris Robson. The download contains both a tape (.uef) and disc (.ssd) image. The game code is identical in both. It closely mirrors the Spectrum version in the map layout, minus the four 'built in' bugs in that version.

View File Manic Miner (Cheat Versions) BBC Micro Manic Miner for the BBC Micro. The conversion was written by D.J.Coathupe. Two completely distinct versions are provided as separate disc (.ssd) images. Both versions feature a bypass to the inbuilt keypad/keylock protection. Simply enter any code or just press Return a few times to have it accepted. 1. Filename "Manic Miner Invulnerability" . As the name suggests this provides near immunity during play. This does not provide infinite air, merely immunity to moving and static enemies as well as long falls. Notes: Although the game will not immediately end when the air supply runs out, it will soon crash thereafter if MinerWilly does not complete the cavern within a timely fashion once the air is exhausted. It is also quite possible to stand on fire cells. Some small care must be taken to not jump out of the top of the cavern which again can result in a crash. Both of the above small compromises needed during gameplay are very acceptable within this scope. 2. Filename "Manic Miner Level Skip" . Notes: This version does not offer any extra lives, air supply or immunity! It simply allows you to choose the starting level. This in itself is a great boon if you wish to practise a cavern as the BBC version does not contain the ZX equivalent of a '6031769' teleporter routine. The game itself must be reloaded from disc if it is wished to change the level as the patch is applied before the game code is executed.

View File Manic Miner BBC Micro Manic Miner for the BBC Micro. The conversion was written by D.J.Coathupe. The caverns mostly mirror other versions with a few exceptions: 1. There is no 'Solar Power Generator' instead there is a 'Meteor Showers' cavern. This is just as difficult as Skylabs, if not more so. 2. The Final Barrier is also completely different in its layout too. The download includes the disc version, a tape version and the keypad code sheet too. This is required for the tape version. The disc version also features instructions during load too, these are not present on the original tape version mainly I suspect for a reduction in loading time.
