Can't get Jazz 1 to work right on your modern computer? Get DOSBox! Whining because you didn't use a computer during the DOS age? Lern2DOSBox! Here's how:

Step 1: Get and install DOSBox.
Step 2: Extract JJ1 into C:\Jazz1\ (or any directory, for that matter.)
Step 3: Open DOSBox.
Step 4: In DOSBox, type "mount C: C:\Jazz1" (or the directory you put Jazz 1 in)
Step 5: In DOSBox, type "c:", then "Jazz".
Step 6: Profit.

So easy there's no mystery step!

Shouldn't this be posted in the tech-help forum?

WHAT THE (-) MAN I TYPED THIS EXACTLY IN MY DOSBOX PROLMPT BUT IT DOESNT WORK ?????????? IT SAYS "FILE NOT FOUND" I MEAN WHAT THE (-) ?????????

It's also worth noting that getting the sound work and making JJ1 run at the right speed might require extra tweaking. Oh, and Alt-Enter will switch DOSBox to full screen and back. You can also make it start by default in full screen by adding the -fullscreen parameter to the shortcut command line.

Also, you forgot to tell people to press enter at the end of certain steps.

Also, when you do that on linux when you do the mount you should do this:
mount c /home/username/path/to/jazz1

You don't need dosbox. I use turbo pascal and it hella works for me in XP. Dosbox is wak imo :P.

xxx Peace xxx.

I play jazz 1 on my psp ;) (playstation portable)

For a little more advanced users I recommend VDMSound for JJ1 instead of DOSBox. First you have to patch FILE0001.exe with the Borland Pascal patch (TPPATCH.exe) and configure the sound of the game to Sound Blaster Pro. Now setup a VDMSound shortcut for the game with the right settings, run it, and you will play the game just as smooth on XP as you did on old plain DOS.

Just get DOS as a bootable operating system!

Dosbox works fine for me. :-)

yay, I got it to work with your instructions Odin, just have to remember those steps now... and Redjazz your right, i had to tweak it to get the sound right

I did never have problems with the dosbox. But i did it exactly, like you wrote.

ut i think, in jj1 all fights are too easy, and darkjazz is too hard :rolleyes:

Darkjazz is the last boss inn JJ1 rite?

you don't... but... your avatar... :(
Darkjazz is one of the names given to the last boss of Episode 6, which was the last boss of JJ1 until JJCD.

Is their ment to be a Boss in Holidaius? I just played the three episoded (morning,noon, nite) is their ment to be a boss battle after nite?

Doubtful. It was just a quick holiday release, and adding a boss would probably have made them want to add to the engine, which clearly was undesirable.

Whats the latest version of that? the one i have is playable but its kinda buggy.
