Otto1980 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi shamus some feedback: i like the "frame advance" button together with the alpine mode but it would be even more nicer when that button press event would trigger the refresh of the apline status windows.. for example the CPU Broser or OP Browser that could speedup "basic" debuging a lot another fedback: awesome job.. i love the VJ :) greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Yeah, the debugger needs a lot of work and I would like to see it do autorefresh on its own too. It's on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Just downloaded this for the first time tonight. It seems to works really well with some games (downfall, rayman) and be in slow motion for others (tempest, missile command 3d). Any way to optimize performance? Also, how do you create a cart to insert? There didn't seem to be any inputs available once I opened that screen.. The way I got the system to work was by just opening the roms and using VJ as the APP of choice. I also noticed the keypad selection could be a bit off. For example I selected W and S as my Up and Down on the D pad, but many games would re-assign them to S and X. Random. I wonder if a Jag pad to USB adapter would be a better option (anyone know where to find one of these?) Running this setup on a Windows 10 Dell with 1.90Ghz processor, 4gb RAM and a 64 bit operating system. Would beefing up the RAM help?

+Saturn Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Might have better luck using the latest version from this page. Several people, including myself have had problems getting custom keys to stick with 2.1.2. Another option that I've had the best results with is using version 2.1.0. 210's custom keys stick for me without fail (I'm using the Linux version though) On a side note, I've noticed that while having multiple versions on one computer, the earliest version's settings will default the later ones to its configuration-whether any of the others have been customized or not. Hope that helps Edit: To load carts/games via the Insert Cartridge... screen, on the General tab of VJ's Settings, paste the path to your rom folder, click OK, then shut down and restart VJ. Downfall should have been visible in the list of carts to choose from upon opening VJ. If no carts are in the list to the left of that screen, the path didn't default to the "software" folder that installs with VJ. If you can locate it and paste its path into the above you should be golden. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also enabled some of the performance features so looking forward to seeing if that helps with some of the slowdown I was experiencing, BIOS, GPU, DSP, Fast Blitter, etc.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I have found the keyboard to be less than ideal for controlling most jaguar games, except some of the home-brews which have simple control schemes. Anyone try one of these out yet? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Raphnet-tech-Atari-Jaguar-controller-to-USB-adapter-/261822560386?hash=item3cf5d73882:g:6noAAOSwpDdVEZWe Any better alternative to this out there (ie. cheaper or more functional?)

+Saturn Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 That's the only Jag controller connector on the market (that I know of.) I bought 4 of them directly from Raphnet's site back then. Looks more expensive in this auction. Shipping too, but I don't remember the details of the purchase. I've used a PS2 controller in the past. Minus all the number keys it works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaysWithWolves Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 A few questions, if you don't mind: Is "Fast Blitter" something that can happen with real Jag hardware, or is that a PC-only optimization? Is there any way to get an FPS counter on full-screen video? Has anyone gotten Shadowplay to work with VJ? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 From the built-in documentation (Help | Contents): Use fast blitterChecking this option will force Virtual Jaguar to use the older, less compatible yet faster blitter. Some games will not work properly with this option checked! There is no on-screen FPS counter as of yet. Never heard of Shadowplay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaysWithWolves Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Thanks again. I actually tried Help but for some reason couldn't find that entry. Mea culpa. Shadowplay is an nvidia-only video capture tool. Apparently it's pretty light on the resources and easy to use. It's possible I'm just not using it correctly as I'm very new to recording video. It does have its own FPS counter as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriano gt Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 we can expect new emulated games for the next version? in special, White Men Can't Jump... I would like to emulate this game to be able to rip sprites (for a project) thank you and great work here, man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Have you tried opening the ROM file with JagView? If the graphics are not compressed, you can often get them that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyaage Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Got a new PC. Gigabyte motherboard with AMD A8-6600K Quad core processor and AMD Radeon R7 200 Graphics card. Running Windows 8.1. Running Virtual Jaguar works for about 30 seconds and goes to a white screen. I found a similar thread on SDLemu forum which suggested it may be an OpenGL issue. I have installed the latest AMD graphics driver. I have virtual jaguar running fine on my 2GHz windows 7 laptop but is slow. I have started with raptor basic and dearly want vj working on the new PC for speed reasons and development with raptorBASIC+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilinger Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 A lot of trouble with VJ since few month since a Windows 7 update > VJ works fine in rom mode but crash in Alpine mode Hi. Do you launch the alpine mode directly without a rom / binary? In this case, the debugger will launch whatever the pc position / code it found, so it will result mostly on a crash. I have discovered this when studying the emulator code to add some stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adriano gt Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Some emulators have on/off layers of stage(also chars) of the game... zsnes and yabause, for example Is it possible to add this function for future releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 It would be possible if they existed on the Jaguar hardware. There is only the Object Processor, and its Object List, no character layer, no other kinds of layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Dangerous Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Any chance of an update? I'd love to have a screenshot-option. Why not just screen shot your computer? Or the snipping tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotek_style Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Screenshoting windows does indeed work but is only comfortable if you only want 'one' screenshot and not for a large number... I tried a snipping tool and it indeed works... but you have to install extra software that you don't need with most other emulators... also it only works with the stuff that runs in the emulator.... a lot of the stuff I tried to screenshot did not run... so an update would be nice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
