Try it out!

JRemoteforMyth may be launched several ways. If your browser has JNLP enabled, simply click here:

Launch JRemoteforMyth

If your browser does not launch this file correctly (for instance, just shows the XML in a screen), try launching via the command line:

As new versions become available, WebStart will automatically download the latest version when you start. Enjoy!
