Read the site for instructions about what JBB for OSX is and is not. Optional: Add JBB for OS X if you want it: It should show you that you have the latest version running successfully on your machine. Congratulations.ĭouble-click on Bbowl.jar and look at the splash screen as it opens. Wait for it to finish up and you're done. Pick some place you'll remember and that you can find easily.(I put mine in /Users/. Put the Bbowl8_8a Folder where you want it to live. It will make a folder called something like Bbowl8_8a Folder. zip file (the one which says, "(full install)" after the release number). Set options and play a quick standalone game to save them and you're done.ĭownload the. Repeat step 3 for any subfolders included in the patch.
