[sound effects fix!] Here's how to get the sound working. If you look in the DATA folder in the game's directory, you should see, among others, folders named SOUNDS, SOUNDS8 and SOUNDS16. SOUNDS8 and SOUNDS16 contain the game sounds in 8-bit (low quality) and 16-bit (high quality) .WAV formats respectively. SOUNDS is where the game actually reads its sound files from - but at the moment, it's empty apart from four (common?) files. What you need to do is copy the contents of one of the other two folders (ideally SOUNDS16, but if it doesn't work try SOUNDS8) into the SOUNDS folder, and your game should now have sound!

I suppose 'Rocket Jockey' fans check this thread, I am looking for fans / programmers who are up for the challenge in remaking a 3D version of Rocket Jockey. If you're a fan feel free to check out this Deviantart Club. Here I have a summary on how to get Rocket Jockey running on XP with the multiplayer patch. http://rocketjockey.deviantart.com/ (if you have ideas and want to post them, just join deviantart)

I had the same problem after installing the multiplayer patch. This only works if you really have the files on a cd-rom. Here is my advice on this: If you want the multiplayer patch to work, you should burn the original 'Rocket Jockey' data on to a cd-rom. And make sure that in your registry the cd-rom path is correctly installed. You can do this by selecting the 'run' command in you windows start menu, and type 'regedit' [enter]. Here modify this entry to the location on your cd-rom, including the drive letter of your cd-rom: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Segasoft\Rocket Jockey\1.0\CD-ROM directory\ Now you are ready to play multiplayer Rocket Jockey! And the single player version with some extra tips & add-ons. Note: You can also edit the XP-fix properly beforehand, when you've already burned the data on a cd-rom. Maybe there are also other solutions that I'm not aware of, at least this works for me. Personal note: Still looking for a SOUND EFFECTS fix .

Great fix with the registry file! I really love this game, because of its suberb gameplay!!!! I still have one problem, I don't hear sound effects, could it be that the values set for the Primary Sound Driver have to be configured different than in the text above? Could someone please help me with this?
