Hello Daniel and the whole community !
I hope you're well.
I happy to discover this group.
I watched the vidéos JSW on YouTube with a lot of emotion and nostalgia.
I didn't think that my game JET SET WILLY IN PARIS was still played and appreciated !
I found LIVE videos of players playing my game, it’s just very touching.
Everyone should know the enormous help you gave me in testing and releasing the game as well as the 3 others
Thank you very much Daniel for always being so present and active so that the JSW games are still there and perhaps even more so than 20 years ago.
This is what motivates me to come back after 18 years...
It's also to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of my first game "Jet Set Willy in Paris in 2005 (first release).
Since two week, I résumed creating my never finished game "Willy in the Islands of Mystery part II : the Temple.
I found inspiraion again to create new rooms and new guardians. I completely redesigned the game.
I think this game will be released before the end of 2025 at the latest.
See you very soon !
 
As a reminder the list of my previous games :
Jet set Willy in Paris (2005) Willy on a Transatlantic Cruise (2007) Escape of the Snails 2007 Willy in the Islands of Mystery ( part 1 : Exploration) 2007

Thank you for your guidance, danny！😃
I have tried to follow your advice and everything is fine.
 
 

Glad to hear that, UncleWan! Happy JSWEDiting! 😊

No problems.
That's a good point. I have found it best to work with a .tap file personally but others may prefer a snapshot.

UncleWan,
I believe JSWED will NOT open TZX files (it will open it in Hex Editor, but you will not be able to edit the game using the GUI). Open a TAP file instead, or a SNA or Z80 file.
Please note also that when you use an unmodified file of the original "Jet Set Willy", every time you will want to open the game you have just edited, you will get the colour code challenge. If you want to get rid of this, go to JSWED's Hex Editor and modify the value of the address 86B0 to C3, the value of the address 86B1 to CA, and the value of the address 86B2 to 87.
Please let us know if everything works well for you 🙂 .

UncleWan,
I have just sent you a message with couple of files. 🙂 

Opps😶I didn't realize this.Thank you Spider!

I'm surprised it opens the .zip properly.
Extract the .zip and place the game file inside the JSWED folder/directory, then open that from there. 🙂 
 
There's no issue with W7 (or W10 at least) with JSWED, it is not an OS concern that's for certain.
 
I'm not 100% sure what else that file has for fixes, IIRC that one has something like a renamed Bathroom perhaps.
I do have a fixed standard one somewhere on site, with the four official fixes applied as well as another one to 'fix' the Swimming Pool rope if needed.

In 2012 I had a project on creating a design for a non-formal underground club for cinema lovers. It was real fun, I had almost no limits on my creativity.
Besides all other work, I was needed to design arrows that could navigate guests to the toilets and the bar. Guess, who the main characters are?
More can be seen on my old website: graphical identity, interior design and website

Saw on Instagram feed earlier:

Thank you, Digital Duck. 🙂 I thought to ask, as I thought it might literally mean something more than just good luck. One never knows without asking. 🙂 
UncleWan, why not download the latest JSWED and give it a try someday? 🙂 

I will keep my fingers crossed, UncleWan, hoping that you will indeed have the time and energy to create a new JSW game! 🙂 And I would definitely second Jet Set Willie's suggestion of using JSWED - unless you're into coding and prefer to code your own game from scratch, it's a great and easy-to-use tool for creating MM and JSW games.

thank you, danny😀In fact, I have always had plans to design JSW for spectrum Unfortunately, due to time and technological limitations, this idea has not yet been realized. I previously created a version using Dan Richardson's PC JSW II editor, but the editor has many limitations and cannot be called a true JSWmod But I believe I will have time to realize this idea.
 

Tonight is the Year of the Loong New Year's Eve. I wish you all a happy Spring Festival in year of the snake in advance!😄

Thank you! Happy New Year and the year of the snake to you, too! 😊 I didn´t have a thought what snake related I could draw, but luckily you saved me with your Great picture, thanks. 😉
By the way, what there exactly reads in chinese? My chinese is a bit rusty... (cough) 😄
 

It's the character 福 (fu), which is usually translated as "good luck" or "good fortune", you'll find it on nearly every Chinese New Year decoration.

hello！
I think there is a high possibility that Japanese publishers will change the difficulty level.
In order to cater to domestic players, publishers often modify games, for example, Super Mario Bros. 2 from Japan became Super Mario USA in the United States, which is a completely different game. It is said that this is because Nintendo's US division believes that the original version is too difficult.
Perhaps everyone knows these things, I hope you won't find me verbose😄

I remember this with "Outrun"
The original home market Japanese version had the tracks in a different order and I also think the game was slightly harder even with the dip switches set for easy.
That version is not too easy to find but it is around, actually although off topic there's an improved version released a few years ago (denied you have to build it apparently, I did try it once it worked) which has a working demo mode (in freeplay) and various options such as mph/kph , score saving and (the reason for mentioning) the option to switch to the original track layout.
