I also encountered this issue on Windows 10. Try this:

1. Right click Jet Set Radio in your Steam Library and click Properties
   
2. Click the Local Files tab in the new menu
   
3. Click Browse Local Files
   
4. Right click jsrsetup.exe and click Properties again
   
5. Click to move to the Compatibility tab
   
6. Check the box labelled Run this program in compatibility mode for:
   
7. From the drop-down menu immediately below it, choose Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
   
8. Near the bottom of the page check the box labelled Run this program as an administrator
   
9. Launch Jet Set Radio on steam as normal

This seemed to work for me.

If I launch the game directly from the exe it works, however if I use Steam to launch the game it still crashes.

browse local files, and open jetsetradio.exe

Copying jetsetradio.exe to jsrsetup.exe then running as administrator in XP SP3 compatibility mode "helped" here, but nothing comes up on the screen even with scaling on high-DPI displays disabled... glad I waited for this game to pop up for free.

(Win10 x64, AMD w/ latest Crimson, no OC/tweaks, 2560x1440@60Hz <-- probably part of the problem)

Anyone know what jsrsetup.exe is supposed to do? I'm sure bypassing it isn't really a great solution.

If someone else gets the popup "Steam is not running" after running Jetsetradio.exe or jsrsetup.exe as admin (and Win XP SP3 compatibility), it's possible that you will have to run Steam as admin as well. Worked for me on Win 8.1.

Doh! Should have launched the debugger the *first* time...

---
All it wanted (from me) is DirectX 9, which can be installed in seconds by running ".\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\DXSETUP.exe", found inside the Jet Set Radio game directory.
---

Compatibility mode disabled, everything else left untouched, game launches fine from Steam.

This is why games should be tested on a virgin system (a machine upgraded from an older Windows version doesn't count!) before publishing

Which would be all fine and dandy if windows 10 wasn't currently in some strange form of 'beta test'. It isn't a 'finished' product by any means.

Touché. I suppose I can give the benefit of the doubt that the game intended to install Dx9, and that it attempts to check for Dx9 before attempting to load any Dx9 DLLs, and that it would have succeeded on previous versions of Windows, but... it's really up to the devs or publisher to decide if that's worth looking into. At least 99% of users will have already run a game on their system that *did* properly install Dx9, so those users will only have to worry about the myriad other possible issues they'll run into which are entirely Windows 10's half-baked fault ;)

(Speaking of... some setups may fail to launch the game fullscreen, so add "windowed mode" to the list of things to try here)

Find your Jet Set Radio folder in the steam folder, for me it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jet Set Radio

Simply swap the names of the two .exe files around jsrsetup to jetsetradio and jetsetradio to jsrsetup and it will work when you launch the game!
