Jess Ragan Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forums/topic/32825-iratajaguar-new-awesome-atari-jaguar-emulator/ I just saw this when I fired up my Android TV for the first time in a month. It's a Jaguar emulator, believe it or not, and it seems to be getting positive reviews from those who've tried it. It requires a pretty powerful Android device, though, so don't go in with high hopes unless you've got incredible hardware. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 That's pretty cool -- finally! Has anyone thrown Defender 2000 at it? Have you tried it yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 I have not. I have tried the author's 3DO emulator, however. I probably need a more powerful system to really make the most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 It's five bucks and it's compatible with my GPD XD. Bought ... will try it out tonight if possible. Thanks for posting this, I would not have known about this otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'm tempted, but I'd like to see someone for $5 be the guinea pig. I've got the Nvidia Shield Tablet. NVIDIA Tegra K1 A9 @ 2.2ghz 2 GB SYSTEM RAM I never was a big fan but that said whenever I found a kiosk or someone with it I had fun with the likes of Defender, Tempest and Alien vs Predator, and defacto DOOM since it was straight ported to GBA a dozen years ago.

Flojomojo Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 If it runs well on anything, it would be the Shield tablet. What's five bucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 More than 4.99? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 I just posted this as news, so it may appear on the front page of this site tomorrow. We'll see. Anyway. I'm tempted to try this. I have no great love for the Jaguar, but there are a few titles which pique my curiosity (Ultra Vortek, Defender 2000) and a couple others which I'd like to try again (Tempest 2000, supposedly better than the Saturn version I had in my 20s). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Update: This doesn't work very well on my MiBox. Maybe it's not powerful enough to handle it, but I have a feeling there's more to it than that. Even in the videos I've seen (presumably running on the powerful Shield hardware) some games run okay, while others are frustratingly slow. Guess I got caught up in the hype. The emulator could improve with future updates, however... I guess we won't know until a few months down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
