no i don't mean your windows laptop, silly. of course that would work. i mean a smartphone or tablet. Anyway, anyone ever tried? Any luck? Probably not possible to do. I wonder if Windows 10 would enable us to potentially do such a thing.... hmmmmmm maybe.
I run JJ1 perfect on my Android if I'm bored enough to do so. After enough tinkering it has a stable framerate and sound.
But... It's JJ1. JJ2 is just so much cooler.

I foolishly hoped it would work when I bought a "Windows 8" cellphone..

on mobile device would be funny playing woth voice demands go up now right now left avoid seekers plant the flag

Hahaha, that's a fun idea. I think we could implement that in JJ2+, Shaney. I'll bet a Windows 10 phone may be able to run JJ2, but time will tell.

I think the only option here would be writing JJ2 engine from scratch. Most of, if not all, fileformats used by JJ2 are fairly well documented, so it'd be good to do it. There are several advantages of doing it this way, actually:

- Engine, written from scratch, would be 100% legal in itself. You still would need JJ2 data files which aren't legal to download, but you could make custom campaign with custom sprites to satisfy people who don't have JJ2, still completely legal.
- Would run on many different systems and architectures if written properly, not just Window$ x32
- Greater control over engine's capabilities and easier way to remove any limits of it (admittedly easier than hacking at JJ2 executable in assembly, like it's case for JJ2+)

Of course this would need more work, but there are frameworks that take off most of coding needs, like rendering, collisions, etc. SFML, libGDX - to name a few. So it's not that you'd need to write everything and the kitchen sink from scratch, unlike original devs of JJ2

There's already a thread for that. http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?t=19772
