Runtime error 200? That's common too.

On one side, JJ1 can't work with XP because XP has no DOS foundations. On the other hand, JJ1 can't run on PC's faster than 200 MHZ, due to a fault in the language in which it's programmed (for your reference it's Pascal). This results in Runtime error 200. Fortunately, there's a solution for that too: TPPatch, which you can find somewhere in the downloads.

In short, if you want to run JJ1 and have:
- Windows 95, 98 or ME, get the TPPatch
- Windows XP, get DOSBox.

In both cases, video cards are not an issue
