They have been in this state for years, so no hurry haha. Where in Europe are you located if I may ask? Couldn't find that out from your Facebook page. I realized I might have some luck with the local electronics servicing company as well. But first let me get some pictures up in the coming days (weeks probably!) Hi! I remember your name and handle (the old PM's helped haha) but other than that, not much ?. I'll have to dig 'm up from the attic first. Will do so if I'll have some time for that.

Hi all! I haven't been here in a long time! If I waited a couple of days it would be exactly 10 years ago since my last post. Impressive all the old topics and even PM's are still here :-). So, many many years ago when I was young and foolish and not quite capable with a soldering iron (still ain't) I butchered 2 Jaguars :-(. My original one always gave me red screens, so I decided to experiment on it as a practice unit to install a socket so I could use that experience on a perfectly fine unit to swap the boot rom with the BJL ROM. But it never worked out. Total massacre and lost the original ROM's in the process. I never did like it having these two units in this state. I've searched around the forums but couldn't really find anything, so I decided to open a topic myself. Is there any (trustworthy) repair service located in Europe? These two Jaguars need to be serviced and get a new bootrom installed, if they're still salvageable. I also have two JagCD's of which one does play the games, but requires a little pressure to boot and the other one spins up the discs just fine but doesn't read them (a simple drive replacement I probably could do myself, but are these parts still available?). I've seen someone on Twitter who does a lot of retro console mods and recapping, which gives me hope someone can restore these poor Jags as well?

Not that I can remember. I believe at one point I took the Official Jaguar Guide (or whatever the thing is called) which walkthroughs of some (all?) of the levels just to get passed them. I'm not sure if I remember 6-2 well, is that the huge map with a rather large base with fences around it? I believe there was a vehicle available in it as well.

Level 6-1 is where you start in the top left corner on some kind of mountain ridge right? Brownish level? Those stairs are indeed extremely annoying. Have lost many fine men on that as well. There's a hole in the bridge on the right if I'm not mistaken, so guide them slowly over the left of it. Once down, take out the barracks at the bottom right. Snipers/Bazookas are waiting for you a bit further on the left. So be careful.

I take it that Wolfenstein 3D is still illegal then as well? If you want to play Cannon Fodder on PC you can get it quite cheap from GOG at http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/cannon_fodder.

Best tactic I have for taking on those bazooka guys is to split your squad and take 1 soldier to take them on. Just keep moving and fire at them. If you have a bazooka as well it's already a little easier to get them since you don't have to get too close. Later on in the game there's a level in which you've got to zigzag to the top. On almost every corner there's a bazooka guy. Haven't beaten it yet :-).

To my disappointment I won't be able to go this year. I did plan on going to, but due to family and health issues I can't make it. I'll try to be there next year. Have fun everybody.

I picked up Skyhammer at the €-JagFest 2009 but still haven't gotten to it . It does play very smoothly which really impressed me.

I've had the exact same problem some years ago, but it got resolved. I don't remember what the problem was but I think it had something to do with fiddling with the sound settings. Can't remember me doing a memory reset. Perhaps try pushing 0 in the main menu? (where you can load game, new game etc.)

I believe Starcat said that they were rendering the main character 4 times to simulate how the game would run when NPC's and objects are added. That what was shown was very smooth, and it looked great as well. Impressive 3D rendering on the Jaguar!

Just booked the hotel. Now all I need to do is update my TomTom and I'm set!

Best thing so far I could find is Park Inn Düsseldorf/Kaarst for EUR 60,- a night. Any alternatives before I book? :-)

I've marked the date in my phones' organizer. I'm almost certain I'm going to be there, sounds like a lot of fun and I always wanted to go anyway. At what time does it usually end? I think I'll spend the night there. Any h/motel recommendations? Also, if anyone else from the Netherlands is planning to go let me know, perhaps we can drive there together.

I'd probably buy all Jaguar related stuff if I'd find it in the wild, hehe .

I consider it part of the gameplay :-)
