Oho! Now this is a blast from the past! :D Many thanks :)

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

and how to god damn it make such folder as .openjazz ? Windows (n900 as well) is shouting that you need to name the file.....

i can't make folder with . at the beginning ;/

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

can someone upload the fullver of jazz 2 .... i had the original but i lost it....

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

i have one copy but can someone explain me how to make folder .openjazz? i can't make one :(

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Quickest way I know is to use the Command Prompt. mkdir will allow for folders to be created containing a '.' at the beginning

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

copied to right place - it' doesn't working on my N900. Black screen 2-4 sec and back to desktop ... anyone know what can i do ?

i used only JJR I files ...

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Better way would be that author changed directory to normal one without a dot, so it can be made&accessed with file manager

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

hmm.... not compatible with jj2 files?

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

as it says on website that he posted at first post ... only JJ I is supported

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

I made .openjazz cause I don't want to see the folder in File Manager.
If you want it, you cant edit /usr/bin/openjazz, removin dot in openjazz

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

wat files do you put in the folder? regards

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

all files, except .exe or .doc or .txt

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Same here..

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

run game in xterminal
# openjazz <enter>
what's the log?

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

after installing rootsh

as root

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

I tried something today and determined the problem - the file "OpenJazz" in /opt/openjazz should be spelled "openjazz" (case sensitive). The game works after this change is applied (note that the data files within the game directory may need to be lowercase as well - the "unzip -LL <filename>" command might be the quickest way to ensure this situation if you've got the data files on the device within a .ZIP file).

The sequence of shell commands required to make this change is as follows (although you may choose to wait until the maintainer of the package performs an update that remedies the issue):

sudo gainroot
cd /opt/openjazz
mv OpenJazz openjazz

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

didn't notice that
I'll fix it in the source right now

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Ehmmm.... and now try WITHOUT being connected to a PC with USB! :D

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Same problem, but I assume I don't have the game files, lulz.

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

rename from uppercase to lowercase not working...
i tried with your script, with sed and with awk, not works .... :(

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Update:
- Now you can use MyDocs/.openjazz or MyDocs/openjazz folder
- Error message when data folder does not exist
- No more rootshell (not needed)

NOTE:

Download here

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

now works with uppercase datafiles? I dont know, cuz i renamed all files to lowercase, and game works with previous version too.

Save and Load game menus not works!

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

still not working with touch? that a pity.. but good port, thx

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Does save and load works in previous version?
Are you using a demo version?

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

works for me thanks!!

but it doesnt go full screen its just in the centre and the rest of the space is just black but it works fine, i havent tried sound as of yet will try it then will give another comment

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Setup options -> Resolution to change screen size
If it doesn't work, that's because you have openjazz.cfg without write permission (because previous version). Remove the file and set it again.

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

No, save not works in previous ver. and i using full version!
salawat set scaling to 2X for FullScreen :) :), but 1x scaling full screen for me too, so your config file not writeable!

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

which files (game files) do I need to download?
and do I need to unzip them?

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

yes you must unzip and put it to directory /openjazz. For example download from HERE the "Jazz Jackrabbit Holiday Hare" (only Jazz Jackrabbit 1), unzip a put all filex except EXE,DOC,TXT files to /openjazz

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Thank you for this, Mr. Perez. I love the Jazz games!

But I have one small problem. Every time I play openjazz, my N900 keyboard layout is automatically set to english, so I always have to set it back to my own language manually afterwards. It's not really a huge deal, just a minor inconvenience... Any idea why it does this? Can I do something about it or will I just have to live with it?

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Let me check the code
I've added code to set it back, but maybe it doesn't word as it should.

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

is it possible to save the game? cuz i can't..

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Hi CepiPerez,

First off, thanks for this port! Awesome, love Jazz Jackrabbit! :D
I have one small question though. How do you quit the game? I know you can by pressing ctrl + backspace to 'minimize' the game and then manually terminating the application, but I assume that's not the right way.

In other words, what key emulates the 'Esc' key? I've tried them all!

Thanks! :)

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

comma = escape

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Fantastic port. Runs like a charm!
There are -however- two problems and one is a major show stopper

- You cannot save the game! The menu option to do so is broken. Pressing Enter on it does nothing
- The music doesn't loop. It stops after playing one time when playing a level

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

wow thanks guys... working perfectlly!!! just install the port and add the files to the openjazz folder... no x terminal needed!!! =)))

but! I don't know why I have only Episode X open for playing...(
oh yeah.. and the saving option... is not working too...

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Nice! I was just trying to get this game to work on Dosbox, but the menus were sluggish and I gave up.

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

Save/Load options are not implemented in the engine.
I don't understand why the developer put the options.
It's not a port error.

@eliraz2001:
You have only X episode cause you have a free version.
Get the full version and you'll get all episodes

Re: [Maemo 5] Jazz Jackrabbit (openjazz) port
 

that's a shame that there's no save.. that would be pretty awesome, oh well life is a ***** :P
