Grant the VM around 700 MB of RAM, and JJ2+ will run just fine in it.
Huh, this is just weird advice. Installing VM is a lot of work, and will require some computer knowledge. Installing WINE in Ubuntu is just a few clicks away. JJ2+ works fine in WINE for most, AFAIK. Step one should be to check if it works with WINE (which, for the opening poster, it apparently doesn't), installing a VM should only be step two.

RedComputer: what happens when you try to start Jazz2+ in WINE?
