    I've used Chaos Reins, Tyrant & Jonathan Ascough (hope I spelled that correctly) and all play perfectly once you use the adjustment slider. It can take a minute or two trial and error to get it 100% spot on, but they all play perfectly. I find the CR spinner is the best for tempest as it's nice & twitchy as well as free-spinning, but the other two work well with it... shame there's no calibration there, it could be better. maybe you need to do your 2nd Jaguar ROM patch?

     

    Impluse X supports spinners, mice & anything else you dare plug in it seems ;-)

    Interesting reading, Kris.

     

    While I agree with all three of your points, point 2 particularly interests me. The debug version of the Atari ST emulator Steem, with its Boiler Room debugger, has been a great aid to much of the productivity on that system over the last, well, it's quite a few years now. If the Jaguar had something similar - a highly accurate emulator with advanced features, put simply there would be a lot more going on than there is today. Let's hope subqmod continues to work on his emulator in the limited time he has available these days. Virtual Jaguar is also something to keep an eye on, Shamus posted news of a potential update a little while ago.

     

    As for your throughts and feelings as a whole, you echo the thoughts of plenty of others I've had contact with over the last couple of years, albeit more often private contact and not in an open forum. People who genuinely enjoy their Jaguar want to see good things happen, but not at the expense of flame wars and dividing the community into factions. Time will tell - openness, the free sharing of information and discoveries and new releases both freely and for a fee - those things all have a positive impact. Many of the things you mention would do likewise.

     

    It's good for the majority of Jaguar fans that the two major forums are now in a much healthier and positive phase of existence than they once were. If other more secret but active forums keep their actions internal/out of plain sight, I don't see that any real harm can be done - it keeps the majority of the community and the public perception of it in a much tidier and healthier place and thus somewhere outsiders may feel they want to participate without fear of a verbal beatdown. Maybe their secrecy and sense of belonging will help spur them on to be more productive, so maybe some good can still come of it. OTOH, radicalising an already small and diverse community, forcing people to comply or leave by the nearest exit, however well intentioned the conception of such a place... well, I can't see that having much legs.

     

    Anyway, thanks for taking the time to work on a piece like this - progressive, informative and well conceived. :thumbsup:
