BAM and the dirt is gone.

Q:How do i get jazz jackrabbit, and many other Runtime error games working.

A: Its quite simple. Download <a href="http://www.qmw.ac.uk/~ugah006/gotools/t ... Tppatch</a> and then place that in c:\windows\system32.
Go to command prompt then browse for your game (i.e. C:\jazz).
Type tppatch Jazz.exe and you should get fertig...Ok

Then you can play Jazz Jackrabbit as normal but sound may not work. Unless you use<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdmsound">Vdmsound</a> which is another story.

Could someone please give detailed instructions for running Jazz Jackrabbit for someone who has downloaded both the game and tppatch files but has absolutely no idea what the heck to do next? I've got Windows XP, if that changes anything.

Use dos box and don't run the game with the tppatch. It is much easier to just use dos box 0.63 to run the game. Do not use vmd sound either. All you need is dos box. All you have to do is uninstall Jazz jackrabbit than reinstall it with a shortcut to the game made. Put the shortcut into the dos box folder. And drag the shortcut of the game onto the white and blue dos box file. It is so much easier to do than the tppatch.

At that date DOSBox didn't exist. so that was a qualified advice.

And might I say: This is a bunch of very helpful posts mates. This thread should be redone with serious posts

Actually Larry DosBox has been around since 2002.

Post by **Larry Laffer** » Wed Dec 06, 2006 3:08 am

Maybe so... but I don't think Wally heard of it

AdamN · Post by **AdamN** » Wed Dec 06, 2006 6:59 am

I heard it about in early 2003, i believe it was just released and wasn't really user friendly. Actually to play a dos based game you had to copy the dosbox.exe appication file to the game folder, when you needed to play them you had open a command prompt via Windows XP and type in the folder location, dbox and game name.exe for the game to actually work.

I'm using Windows xP, and every DOS game I try to play, has "jerky" keys (the keys respond only a few seconds later or not at all). Does DOSBox fix this problem or do I need some other application?

AdamN · Post by **AdamN** » Wed Dec 06, 2006 10:01 pm

Depends on what type of keyboard you are using?
PS/2 or USB?
