  1. cool i had suspected it was you Danny doing the JSW Central channel on youtube! πŸ™‚ i still remember that day, seems long ago now, when you first appeared on the jsw and mm yahoo group forum, and your passion for those games became clear very quickly β™₯️ i'll be on the beach in Lyme Regis for a week lol and then it's back onto John's kick-ass editor to move some pixels around! 😁
  2. wow Spider i noticed your birthday is 07/02/1974 ,which is funny to me because mine is 06/01/1974 πŸ˜€ .. . .. . . .. . . ok possibly not worth the post but come on it's pretty neat
  3. Fab thanks so much Spider, you were right it was a browser issue! I'm all set now hopefully, ..thanks man
  4. Hi i want to start creating another JSW or MM game (the last one i did was back in 2004). When i try to get JSWED v237 i can't download the file, which i assume is because i'm on windows 10? So my question is do you guys use older PC's or laptops to design JSW/MM games using JSWED? ..or is it possible on Windows 10? I do have a working old Toshiba laptop (Windows 98) so i can use that but it can't connect to the internet, so could someone perhaps give me JSWED v237, in a zip file or whatever, which i can then copy over to my old laptop. Thanks and best wishesπŸš€
  5. wow, i love the changes. Thanks Norman. Runs so smooth. I played this version for a while and then played a regular version of MM, and the difference is clear as day. No surprise this will be my go-to version from now on!
  6. Again, thanks very much everyone for all your help! IRF, i followed your path to Metalmickey's work and have played it on my Vita, and you are certainly correct, he has fixed the sprite and it runs way better than how the original JSW version was running. I must credit Norman Sword once more though.... and certainly no disrespect to Metalmickey, but the Willy sprite in Norman's VK3 game is, for me at least, running super-smooth. The Metalmickey one does actually stammer a little bit. ...Like i say though, it's still awesome, a huge improvement, and the Metalmickey version of JSW will be the only one i play from now on, when playing 'regular' JSW. I guess the icing on the cake is, along the way i've discovered Norman's crazy games hehheh :thumbsup: After playing Norman's game for 20 minutes, i went back to regular JSW and it was like it was in slow motion :lol: hehhah...Just brilliant :lol: :lol: :lol:
  7. Thanks guys for your awesome replies.. Norman Sword, wow i must say i've been playing your game (JSW 128 VK3) and it's amazing what you've achieved.... and yes you truly have perfectly corrected the Willy main sprite! I've been playing your game on my PS Vita, with its OLED screen (using RetroArch & Fuse emulator), with a CRT overlay effect and it's just brilliant. ..Looks stunning & plays stunning. The additions you've made to the JSW experience are truly mind-blowing to me, especially the way that Willy is invincible for a short time after losing a life, and also the way you can slowly break through floors. ....now the tricky bit :thumbsup: ....Dear Mr Norman Sword, is there any chance you can be persuaded to release a standard regular version of Jet Set Willy but with the main sprite 'corrected' in the way you've achieved it in your game JSW 128 VK3? Sorry i know it's a bit cheeky to ask, but i figured it's worth asking as it may be something relatively easy for you to do, considering your skills hehheh :)
  8. Hi, was wondering if there's a version of JSW for Spectrum where the main Willy sprite isn't choppy as it animates? When watching youtube vids of JSW running on the Amstrad or Atari ST for example, the Willy sprite is solid & stable when he walks/jumps etc, which i really like, but the Spectrum version is definitely my fave version so thinking it would be brilliant to have an available version of JSW for Speccy with a nice solid stable main sprite. Is there a Spectrum emulator that you may have used and noticed it solves this issue, or maybe someone has already had a try at this request and it's seemingly not possible/not worth it? Some might say that the Speccy's Willy sprite is choppy on the original hardware, choppy with the emulators and the imperfection is part of the charm, but i personally think it would be brilliant to have clean animation on the main sprite if there's any possibility of it. Would love to hear any thoughts on this and thanks guys
