UncleWan Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Today I tried using JSWED. In terms of functionality, JSWED is an excellent editor. So I downloaded JSW (bug fix version) from World of Spectrum。 But after I entered the editor, there was nothing. sprites， The room and teles are all empty. When I choose music, JSWED freezes unless I close the window.😰 May I ask what the reason is? I am using Windows 7, but after reading John Elliott's guide PDF and browsing Jet Set Willie's post, I believe it is not related to the system I am using.

Spider Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 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.

jetsetdanny Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 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, Jet Set Willie and Spider 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open a TAP file instead, or a SNA or Z80 file. That's a good point. I have found it best to work with a .tap file personally but others may prefer a snapshot.
