My Views on Homebrewer authors and their games

[My Views on Homebrewer authors and their games]

Just tried it now, works fine. Turns out I've already downloaded all this twice before from other places... oh well.

[Question about the Logo]

Thank you both!

[Question about the Logo]

I know this will be obvious to you Jaguar owners... unfortunately I'm not one of them..

 

What causes the red jaguar screen, (red background) ?

 

When does the normal logo, (with the Atari falling letters and spinning cube) appear?

What happens after the spinning cube is done?

 

Thanks

- Robert

[New board remarks, problems.]

Tried the Invision link, and it is slow but somewhat faster than here.

 

Then, I switched over to Firefox 3.5.2 and now this site is suddenly quite fast.

 

So, the problem certainly seems to be with IE6.

 

Thanks for your suggestions Albert.

[New board remarks, problems.]

I'm using IE6 on a 500mhz celeron computer.

 

As I say I have no trouble with other sites, but maybe the specs needed for this site exceed what I have.

 

Another odd bug is that sometimes the posters name doesn't show on the first post of a page.

[New board remarks, problems.]

I don't know if this affects anyone else, but I now find the forum to be very slow to load pages, and respond to opening topics. It can take a minute or more sometimes, with my browser appearing to freeze in the meantime. It's only this forum with the issue, others are fine. Also, I came across a link to something, another topic I think, but it just took me to the index. It was in the pinned homebrew topic in the Jaguar forum.

[Conan like game for Jaguar?]

Did anything happen with this?

[Project One level 1 out now!]

Tried this on Project Tempest and in MESS (current svn) and it looks - and sounds - really good.

 

Congratulations on the effort that was put in.

 

MESS is missing some of the graphical effects, but it is playable, which is the important thing.

 

Would be better if I had a real Jaguar, but I've never seen one, don't know if they were even sold in this country.

[Channel F in MESS]

Put the zipfile as is into the mess roms folder.

 

The channel F games go into the software\channelf folder (which you will probably have to create)

[Free Jaguar Project]

MESS has an official release about every 6 weeks on the above address.

 

However there is a svn, and from this there are nightly builds for Windows and Mac OS/X 10.5

 

Windows -> http://bobz38.free.fr/mess_autobuild/index.php

 

Mac -> http://code.google.com/p/mess-universal/downloads/list

 

The latest Jaguar work is so far only available in the nightly build.

 

So far, Project Tempest is much superior, but work continues to improve MESS Jaguar emulation.

 

Usually there is an update to Jaguar each week or so.

[Free Jaguar Project]

I noticed in your topic: Jag Emulation - Where are we?

 

that you neglected to mention MESS, the Jaguar emulation is in active development.

[Looking for a dump of Jerry]

Thank you very much!

[Looking for a dump of Jerry]

Hi,

 

I wonder if a Jaguar owner could dump out the Wave Table Rom that is part of Jerry?

 

The memory range is F1D000 to F1DFFF (4k bytes).

 

It is needed to become part of MESS.

 

Thanks for any help!

[MESS .131 - where's the toplevel menu?]

To set default for all "games" : Options, Default System Options, Miscellaneous, Use New UI (ticked)

 

Or on an individual basis : Right-click the "game" : Properties, Miscellaneous, Use New UI.

 

This gives the Windows Menu by default. Pressing Scroll-Lock at any time will turn it off/on.

[MESS .131 - where's the toplevel menu?]

It should be there by default, but if not, add the command-line option "-newui", assuming you're using command-line of course.

[Jaguar Emulation]

I tried Project Tempest and it ran all the Jaguar roms I have here.. all 4 of them.

Works really fast too.

 

MESS 0.131 Jaguar emulation doesn't work at all, as you've discovered.

MESS 0.132 will at least start, although the screen is only half as wide as should be, and most games crash or freeze.

At least Alien vs Predator works. MESS also runs really slowly.

 

You'd be better off with Project Tempest.

 

I'm taking a look at MESS's innards now. Maybe it might run better in 0.133. Don't hold your breathe though, the Jaguar is quite a complex little beast.

[SEGA Saturn Emulators]

There are others but they are really old and probably not much good:

 

Saturnin, Satourne, SaturnTV

[Won't remember me]

Well, it's been fixed, but with a very strange solution.

 

I pressed F5, and suddenly I was logged in - and it remembered when I came back today.

 

 

ps - you guys are crazy.

[Won't remember me]

For some reason this forum won't remember that I want to stay logged in.

 

I can do stuff in the forum with no problem, but the second I leave, and then come back, I have to log in again.

 

Tried deleting cookies and so forth, made no difference.

 

At least before I could stay logged in for a few days, but now it's downright annoying.

 

What can you suggest?

[Anyone heard of this? Popeye Pac-man arcade]

That game has been in Misfitmame for years... which means the roms are easily available.

[WANTED BAD! 1980 Monaco GP by Sega]

The game (or at least a simulated version of it) is in MisfitMAME.

 

Not everything is emulated but at least it's playable.

[Pac Man Midway]

puckman.zip

pacman.zip

 

 

leave them zipped, and put them into your roms folder.

 

When you say "it won't work", it would help if you told us what the error message says.

[Important Note Regarding Post Editing]

I've increased the time to an hour.

 

..Al

 

Thanks, it makes more sense.

 

The reason i suggested a day is because from what I've read, ppl have gone back weeks and months to alter their posts. A day seemed a good compromise.

 

Still, it's up to you, and an hour is much better than 15 minutes.

[Important Note Regarding Post Editing]

I think a day would be better than 15 minutes. Or at least an hour.
