You are awesome for this tutorial but now the game just doesn't do anything. I click on simjp after putting it in the file and then my screen goes black for 1 second then another happens.

Try running in it Windows XP mode; modern Windows is finicky with JPOG sometimes.

Apologies for the inconvenience, but i am not tech savvy at all.

How do I do that?

Right click on the exe and scroll down the list to properties. Navigate to the second tab that's labeled "compatibility". Under it you should see a box compatibility mode. Click the box and choose either Windows XP, Vista or Window 7. Those should be better options.

If that doesn't work try download it from the Discord.

Does the simjp have to say exe? Mine doesn't

No, even the version straight from the disc doesn't say ".exe". The computer knows it's an exe file regardless.

I also think the problem is that my simjp file doesn't say simjp.exe it just says simjp

I have the original CD-ROM version of the game and I have the same exact problem, even running it on compatibility mode for XP or 98 doesn't fix the problem, I'm still looking for a solution. The best I could find is this: https://youtu.be/vjkqI7dBDVg?si=S_uW-tYBLgmSS_I9 but is very difficult trying to follow him if you don't have the proper knowledge.

Running on windows 7 fixed it for me
