Description

What is JINZO Novel?

JINZO Novel is a digital novel system that runs on WindowsCE.
You can play easily with simple operations.
Also, data can be easily created using a text editor and drawing software, so
It is also possible to create data using only WindowsCE.

Special data is required to play with JINZO Novel.
There are two types of data: .jzn and .jzt with the extension (the end of the file name).

jzn format:
This is a convenient format to use for data distribution.
Created by converting the jzt format data below.
It has the following advantages compared to the jzt format.

(Encrypted)
