Yes, I've been aware of it, ever since it was mentioned on the old Yahoo! Group many years ago.

I've never used it, though, because the pictures produced in this way would not live up to my standards for JSW Central. The screenshots there are all taken while playing the actual game (using an emulator, of course). I believe what JSWED does is take a picture of the room as it sees it. This may not be what the game actually looks like - the Cell-Graphics Bug's  effects would not be shown and some font characters could look differently if they have been modified in a JSW128 or JSW64 game, to quote two examples that come to my mind (at least I think they're correct, I haven't tried to verify it). 

This is not criticism, just a statement of fact. It's good that JSWED has this feature 👍.

Ah OK.

Yes "each to their own"

I'd probably not use it for direct mapping myself but it is nice to have it there.

What I tend to do is for smaller games, apply immunity completely and freeze the guardians in their initial places with a couple of code changes, then take a screenshot, moving from room to room. Once I have them all I edit out MW/JSW from the pictures and assemble them that way. It is tedious and Pavero has a better tool for this but for the few occasions I've needed to do it, its "good enough for me"
