Now, simply click Launch on the main window's menu bar.

If you dont have a backup of your .jet, the program will save one in the Backups folder regardless if its a legitemate .jet or not.
Want to share your mod? Soon there will be a patch launcher for multi-mod support and easy mod installation, but until then, Click on "Save .jet" (CTRL+S) in the JetViewer window and then pick a spot to export the .jet Give out your modded .jet to whomever and have them place it into their game's files.
