Thanks @Richard Hallas, appreciate the reply. Mine is not M series so one of the tools you mentioned should be ok. I don’t think I have the time or knowledge to rework JSWED on the Mac, so my choice is either a windows em or using my old Windows laptop. Either is ok at the moment. currently I have it all working on the laptop so all ok for now. I will finish what I started over 20 years ago!!

And thanks @Spider too 🙌

That’s great, thanks Daniel 🙌

Thanks Daniel, I’ll have a look at those. I had the old zx32 emulator but is over 20 years old and kept crashing so thought I’d check out some newer ones 👍🏻

Totally agree. I had a very quick look today (got the old laptop working for now) and seems I added quite a lot to Phantasmagoria form the original MC version I have. It would be a shame to waste both so I’m happy to work it out depending on MC interest down the line. I will prioritise Voyager though. Yeh I totally understand about “real life” as it’s all busy here too. For me a bit of JSW-MM editing is good downtime I can jump in and out of quickly. I’m happily surprised that the scene is so vibrant 😊

Thanks - I’ll have a look at that. To be honest I haven’t looked that hard yet! I guess I was lazily hoping someone would point me at one hehe. On the plus side I have got my very old windows laptop working (Win10), and will try JSWED on it this weekend. May be easier as my Mac is an iMac so not portable. I’ll likely have to find a newer emulator as my 20 year old one is a bit glitchy!

Yes that is the correct link - there are many sub pages, and certainly at the time Carl was confident he had it all, and I uploaded everything he saved. Obviously some of the external links may not still work. Sadly I don’t think I have it saved anywhere now - I will double check though.

That's good news for me playing wise - though it may impact my creating time haha 😄 I'm looking forward to playing these Great to see some of the old crew is active, and as you say many more besides! As a side note, you have probably already noticed, Erix1's old Manic Miner Tech site was saved in the JSW remakes site. Vidar gave full permission for that so I'm sure he won't have an objection if you use it or link to it on JSW central. There's some good stuff in there.

Thank you all - I'll look into the options. Appreciate the pointers 🙂

Hi Daniel (or do you prefer Danny?), Excellent digging there - I did find the files, but can't see them yet until I either get the Emu/Editor for mac // my old windows laptop working. (It feels like getting the Windows laptop working will be easier). You're quite right - my memory was fuzzy! (it is is 20+ years) - for The MC Utility Cubicles, and I had added quite a lot to it. I can't recall exactly how much was added since to Phantasmagoria separately, but I will check. If you manage to get the MC going again at some point I'm happy to contribute what I done already. I'll confirm what I have used for Phantasmagoria, and if that's still worth working on. I'll be trying to finish Voyager first, so I'm happy to go with the flow on the mass collab. Either way I'll let you know when I get the files working. And I'll definitely be up for you play testing Voyager 🙂 So to summarise: Get laptop, make it work... Voyager - Top priority - I will finish this! Phantasmagoria - I will see how much extra was done, and decide to either carry on or leave it for the MassCollab. UC Mass Collaboration - either keep what I did, or give something new if Phantasmagoria is a go-er. Ants Invasion - I remember planning it and starting some rooms, so will evaluate when I see it. King Willy - was just an idea, nothing created. I'll finish the other stuff first and see if I still fancy it. I've never done a Manic Miner game, so... 😉 - Gary

Thank you again 😄

I figured I should say "hi" properly here. My name is Gary - I was part of the old yahoo group 20 odd years ago, and hosted the JSW Remakes site (as "Gawp" hence the user ID here). It's been a long time, but after I stumbled on the walkthrough video on YouTube for my old "Willy Comes Home" effort, I found my way to JSW Central, and here. Thanks to @jetsetdanny for fixing it, and making the toilet run work (I honestly intended to fix it, but y'know...). It was a blast to see it completed, and see how it could have been better! Also a big hello to @Sendy The Endless - hope you're good, and it's great to see you've been busy with JSW again - I always loved STRANGEL in particular 🙂 Apart from Danny and Sendy is there anyone else around from back then? So many questions!! Anyway, great to be 'back' and I'm looking forward to playing the many new remakes that have spring up in the last 20 years, and hopefully finishing "Voyager" 🙌

Currently I don't have a working windows PC/laptop. I may have an old one I can re-purpose, but if not: I noticed on John Elliott's site he says "Versions of JSWED exist for Win32 ... and for Linux with SDL. The Linux version also compiles and runs on BeOS and MacOS X". Does anyone know if it works on a Mac? Has anyone tried? Similarly is there a decent emulator for Mac these days?

Had a quick look and I can confirm the games I had going were: "JSW Voyager" - I will will put effort in to get this done as I remember it being good fun! "Phantasmagoria" - I salvaged this from the original "Mass Collaboration" based on Utility Cubicles (I'd added quite a few rooms to this), and I think started Phantasmagoria with that as the basis when it stalled. I'll need to look into the files to see... "Ants Invasion" - Genuinely can't remember how much I'd done, but I'll see. From memory I think Voyager was somewhere around 60-70% done, and it was a JSW128 game. If they're worth it I might look into converting one or both of the other 2 to a JSW64 variant, as that could be fun, extra gfx etc. I noticed in John Elliott's site he says "Versions of JSWED exist for Win32 ... and for Linux with SDL. The Linux version also compiles and runs on BeOS and MacOS X". Does anyone know if it works on a Mac? Has anyone tried? I may give it a go.

Hi Spider & Daniel! Thanks again for the the welcome, and this excellent forum and site. It’s been great browsing through again. I’m really looking forward to playing the many new games that have been added in my (long) absence. Yes, please my approval to the fixed WCH readme - I’m highly grateful 🙂 Also feel free to add any blurb you see fit from the remakes site which is amazingly still up! I will try to get an editor and emulator working - my main issue is I don’t have a current windows pc / laptop. (Currently just a Mac for music production and photoshop). I may have an old laptop somewhere if I can find it and get it working. I’m feeling inspired to finish Voyager. Fingers crossed. The other I was thinking of was a collaboration (can’t remember the title - maybe based on Utility Cubicles?), and another I started called “Invasion” or similar. I will see what I can find, and will definitely be grateful for play tests. I’ll keep you posted. - Gary
