Release notes by jmetal88:

Hi all,

After a minor (one line) modification to Alister’s OpenJazz source code, I have the latest version running (mostly) properly on the Wiz. I have also updated the archive with the version of SDL I am using, which should eliminate tearing on screen.

The upload is still being ‘processed’ by the file archive, but once it’s ready, it should be available here (if everything goes smoothly): http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/wiz.cgi?0,0,0,0,35,128

Please note, I am not a programmer, so I don’t know how to fix the garbled-looking opening cutscene or Jazz’s stuttering steps as he runs uphill. I just got lucky figuring out the line to change to make the colors correct. I found the game to still be quite enjoyable, though, so I figured I should release it.

Improvements over the old release include the plasma-y effect on the menu screen, enemies properly exploding, and more!

EDIT: It never showed up on the archive, and I’m not sure why. Grab it here: http://ifile.it/4r0xbtw/openjazz-wiz.zip
