Well, I have it <A HREF="http://members.rogers.com/amd_man/msjavx86.exe" target="_new">here</A>. Don't get the Sun one, it's very buggy. Get this! It's almost impossible to find nowadays. It took me a while to find it myself so I thought I'd do people a favour and make it available to others.
Intelligence is not merely the wealth of knowledge but the sum of perception, wisdom, and knowledge.
I compiled the Sun version from source...there was a bug or two in the Netscape/Mozilla plugin (mainly the thing wouldn't set JAVA_PLUGIN_AGENT in the environment), but I worked around that with a wrapper script. It also happened to trip on a bug in something else--worked around that too. Aside from those two issues, it seems to do just fine.
You mean <A HREF="http://skarpsey.dyndns.org/upload/images/javatest.jpeg" target="_new">this one</A>? (I know, it's 140K. Sorry 'bout that.)
It seems to work OK if I just follow the normal link path from the master site. Clicking on the link in Konqueror didn't do well, for some reason--maybe the different url (between your link and my working game) has something to do with that. Or maybe it's that Mozilla and Konqueror access the Java engine through different methods.

Chat text and player names seem OK. The options text is disgustingly tiny though...reminds me of Netscape 4. Is that what you're talking about?
I'm running Sun j2sdk 1.4.0, with minor patches for gcc-3.x compatibility, library name resolution, and a wrapper script to hack around a couple of issues. First issue seems to be with ld.so run-time linker and the ld.so.cache format. Second issue (the JAVA_PLUGIN_AGENT environment variable) could be Mozilla, or it could be the java plugin included with j2sdk.
Thanks AMD_Man... I forgive you now for getting the accolades that I should have gotten for posting the P4 vs. P4B vs. P4B+PC1066 chart from Anandtech.
Now, I'm downloading this right now (damn its slow... 2.04 KB/s over my cable... not used to this). I'm thinking it'll work for WinXP, but you wanna clarify this? Damn MS for pulling the JVM on July 10th, and not offering at least a place to download it somewhere. Guess, though, that it will be included in the XP SP1, so I could get the beta (or is release candidate now?), but I always was leary of MS beta stuff. Since I wiped my system towards the end of July when I installed a new MB, I lost it, and I wasn't really fond of the Sun Java client. Sigh, leave it to two big companies to hate each other so much to tell the customers to bend over and grab their collective ankles. I do find it sad that Sun can't even iron out the bugs in their own code.
Ah well, seeing as this thread is OT to begin with, I reserve the right to make brazenly off-topic posts about Sun Java, or even about things not even related to java engines.
/me posts inane garbage about global warming, the wars in the Middle East, and the latest reruns of 'Friends.'
No, kelledin, you aint the only one =).
<A HREF="http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~jdiaz/sunjvm.html" target="_new">Take a look.</A>
Been using Sun's JVM for the past 4 years, no problems at all.
I use Linux mainly, with version 1.4.0...but even in Windoze, Sun's works flawlessly for me.
Ja, Sun doesn't seem all that bad so far. I've had the initial setup issues, and so far encountered one instance (Literati) where some of the text is ugly (is this the java applet, or is it JVM? who knows), but no real problems.
Hi. First of all thanks for making this M$ JVM available to all of us!!
But then.. how did you get this thing to install?! I'm running Win2K with SP3 and when I try to install it, after I agree to the EULA I get the message :"The Microsoft virtual machine you are attempting to install is a protected system component and can be only updated by a later release of the operating system or service pack".
im not to sure.....but im almost 100% positive VM comes with windows 2000.....therefore installing this on there would most likely not work.......however...i did re-instal windows 2000 Advanced Server on my server computer 2 days ago and i instaleld the MS VM on there right after the fresh install and it worked fine...than i did all the Windows updates...
No, kelledin, you aint the only one =).
Take a look.

Disregard my previous post.
I have Sun JVM 1.4 and 1.4 plug-in. Those games run fine for me.
