So you've downloaded <a href="http://www.jazz2online.com/jj2plus/">JJ2+ version 5.0</a> and looked through the example levels and stuff. And it's awesome, but you find yourself thinking wait a minute, I don't see anything at all in here that's a JJ1 emulation mode, so what about <em>these</em> screenshots?!?

Well that's because plusOJ is actually just its own scripted level. Not even that big, actually! About 80 kb... there are bigger ones out there. <a href="http://sam.shemitz.net/static/files/misc/PlusOJ.zip">You can download it here.</a> It's not finished (this sort of thing never is), and it does some things better than OpenJazz and others worse. For example, it doesn't understand destructible tiles yet, which are kind of important, nor launchers, nor end of level signposts (You'll have to type JJLAMER a lot, since most of the JJ2 cheat codes have been replaced with JJ1 ones), nor enemy bullet-firing animations, nor explosions very well, etc. For such reasons, and so that y'all can contribute if you like, I'm posting it in here instead of the downloads section.
Enjoy your entirely-written-in-AngelScript JJ1 experience! Almost everything you'll see but the episode names is extracted straight from the original JJ1 files... level designs, palettes, sprites, and so on. Probably about half the script is spent just reading and interpreting all the different JJ1 file types involved.
(If it's running really slowly, try enabling Low Detail, which will turn off all the palette cycling effects like waterfalls and arrows.)
To install, copy both <strong>plusOJ.j2l</strong> and <strong>plusOJ.j2as</strong> into your JJ2+ folder. Then open <strong>plus.ini</strong> and look for the "AdditionalFileFolders" line in the [General] folder, or if there isn't one, add it. It's a comma-separated list of file folders, so include the path to your JJ1 installation, e.g.
AdditionalFileFolders="C:\Games\Jazz2TSFPlus, C:\Games\Jazz2TSFPlus\Cache, C:\Games\DOS\Jazz1"
(If you've got more than one JJ1 installation, pick one.) This will allow JJ2+, and plusOJ in particular, to open files in that folder. Then just run plusOJ.j2l from the HCL list or the command line, either in SP or in two-player Cooperative.
