I'm trying to run a game written for Jirr. As it happens, the 5+ year old Jirr dll isn't working for me. So, how could I go about making a quick-and-dirty jirr wrapper for jpct to avoid the issue altogether? Alternatively, Egon, you wouldn't happen to have tried this yourlself already? :- )

No. Why would i do such a thing? It never really took off and it's dead now anyway. After a brief look at the class structure in jirr, it seems to be pretty hard to me to writte this wrapper, because it seems to be more low-level than jPCT is.
Why do you need this?

I'm trying to run the source code to a soccer game made in Jirr. But Jirr won't work, so neither will the soccer game. I made a penalty game, complete with proprietary models and sound effects and I wanted to run the full-blown soccer game with my models to see if I had any use for it.

How about installing some environment (Windows XP...) in which this might work into a VM? 3d acceleration actually works fine in VMWare Player.

I wouldn't want to install a VM just for that. I'm just going to try to make a port to jpct. I'll let you know if that's unreasonable when I know.
