How to get Jazz Jack Rabbit on my PC, PLZ HALP!

[Splice]

Jazz Jack Rabbit is an old DOS game, I've tried some ways of installing but they either failed or I got halfway through them before stuff got very confusing.

I know it's hard to get DOS games to run on Windows XP, which is what I'm running.

I want to get Jazz Jack Rabbit 1 and also 2, but I'm happy with just 1.

Is anyone good at this kind of thing or has done it before, It was one of my favourite games and I would love to have it so much~

Please help, and thankyou

(it's like sonic the hedgehog with a gun and it has awesome music, here is a video with no sound)

Man, Jazz Jackrabbit was awesome as hell.

Took a quick google search, this might be what you're lookin for.

I clicked the link for ttpatch and i got "HTTP 404 - File not found."

thankyou Mic but im not sure why it didnt work.

Is it possible that once someone else has done the work on their computer, I can get it off them on USB?
And then that would work on mine? I'm terrible at this stuff

One of the best DOS'es I've ever played. That and some medieval Golden Axe type game I forgot...

You can actually get it on Wii Homebrew

Try DOS Box
If Not
Create a Virtual Machine of an older OS
If Not
Try find a windows version?
If Not
Get an emulator and get the bad console ports D:

I tried DOS box but I ran into some problems. I'll look back into them and elaborate on them and see if you can help me with them. For now I'm going to sleep.

I am totally keen to get it on Homebrew lol! I really want a version with sound ><
the music is too good.

Fark Splice this game was big before you were even born! I'm surprised you even know what DOS is!

I loved this game so much. I'm also keen now to get it on my comp.

DOS box is probably your best option Splice. I had to get it working for my dad to play Wolf 3D, not that I think he can use it anyway lol.

Actually it came out around the same time I was born.

I'm gonna attempt DOS Box again, it's installed on my PC but I can't actually open the game... :/ I'll get back to you sieg

EDIT: OK so i have DOSBox 0.73 on my computer. What do I do now to get JazzJackrabbit do you know?

 

[abhishekh]

What's so special?

What's so special?

Everybody hates you. QQ

btw Sonic the Hedgehog is awesome anyway, so it's already special with just that going for it.
+ Better music than Sonic
+ Darker looking levels/themes
+ GUN!! pew pew pew
+ Hidden stuff
+ Nostalgia

[Splice]

[luke_atyeo]

dos box is ridculously easy if you are at all familar with dos, which if you grew up playing jazz, you should be.
