    Thanks Saint, it was just that I wanted to use it via composite but not with Jaglink. Although, it is simultaneously plugged into the Jaglink output board. 

    Any plans to amend this? 

    Put electrical tape over the DSP pins on the port.  Just woke up so can't say which ones they are.

    You have to patch a universal encryption header onto it or regenerate the 'encryption' header, the latter of which is slightly complicated. The patch changes the cart's checksum, which is fine on VJ or a Skunkboard, since the former let's you bypass the BIOS and the latter forces the universal header, but trips up the GD since it runs through the full regular boot process AFAICT.

    I remade the IPS file last week to also correct the header.  It's on the Reboot site.

    I wonder if there would be a need for a tool which would copy files to a SD card while making sure they're not fragmented. (The "lazy" way would be generating a fresh FAT32 file system image and writing it to the card.)

    The lazy way would be to find all the fragmented sectors and mark in the fat they're full :P

    This is everything that didnt work for me.

     

    Llamatron (v6).jcd Loads but black screen after splash screen

    Revenge Of The Mutant Camels (v3).jcd Loaded slow but never loaded into game

    Neither of the above have ever been released as a CD.

    HMS Raptor.jcd Black Screen

    This works fine.

    Revenge Of The Mutant Camels (v3) have really long loading screens but never go to game

    This has never had a CD release.  The only released binary isn't complete (and will crash after level 1) - Full and final version is available in the store on the Jeff Minter cart.

    I think the Jaguar community is a lot more tight knit and everyone knows everyone, so it’s a lot more personal. Also a lot of developers are less self-assured about defending their work from theft than the leading Jaguar developers.

     

    There’s a guy in France who sells copies of all of the Lynx homebrew (except for, naturally, the ones that are actually impossible to get legitimately) and the Lynx community always complains about him, but hasn’t let that stop them from sharing ROMs far and wide. In fact, it often seems that the Lynx development community is determined to drown him with quantity :D 

    With easily 1500+ sales/orders/waiting orders for JaguarGD carts, and, what is it now?, 5 revisions of skunkboards ... the only people I can see legitimately having any complaints with the practice of locking to GD/Skunk are the scumbags reselling copies of homebrew on ebay.

     

    Sure, it locks out emulation, but I guess thats a very small minority of the fans and more likely a large number of 'casuals' who would only give them a passing glance anyway and move on to the next shiny thing.

    I have no interest in one and it didn't sound like too many other people did either. Feel free to DIY.

    I'm with Mitch on this one. I also don't need a holder for my toilet roll holder ;)

    Indeed, and even when the auctions get nuked, they just move on to the next selling place - In this case FarceBork. It's like whack-a-mole with these... I use the term with trepidation... "people"

    Good job Wormhole was numbered, maybe Phoboz can prevent sales to this individual in the future.

    *sigh*

    I didn´t know that this game is now in the hands of CJ. However, is there any way to playtest the current version, even without FMV or CD sound?

    No, because as soon as we did that someone would put it on ebay, just like other things...   Hyperforce?  Kong Demo?  An obviously dumped and re-sold Wormhole?

    ^^ One of many reasons for "Why we can't have nice things".

     

    Have to report several of these each month, its ridiculous.

    Maybe someone wants to finish it and his will is stronger than actual capabilities.

    As has been said multiple times the code is fixed and finished and the broken levels fixed, the videos need cleaning up and a way to release it without getting sued into oblivion by Square needs to be found.

     

    We've even posted videos of all the levels working and I've also made a 6mb rom version without cut scenes or cd audio which has been shown.

    I'm going to start moving "random chat" from this thread into another one from this point onwards I think....

     

    Maybe we need a "How the Jaguar actually works vs How you think it works vs Complete Nonsense" thread as well? :D
