    I also figured everyone with a Nuon already has Tempest 3000.

    I do, but its sealed and Im never opening it as it was a gift from my wife and I can't bring myself to break teh seal.  I will be buying this reprint as my "Daily Driver" Version of Tempest 3000.

    Oh ok.  LOL!   I figured "Morphius" might have been a mistype of Cybermorph, or maybe an early name for Cybermorph.   Either way, it's Cybermorph.

     

    I was knocking around weither $2,500 was worth it enough for a prototype of Cybermorph that had "Morphius" on the title screen.  And the chance to recover that image.  Ah well.

     

    Tell you what though, if they could allow any pictures of the dev kit out of the box, like the dev kit itself, that would be cool.

    It looked exactly like the console shown in these pictures. This is not the same console, but it was exactly the same as this.

  3. I don't hold the shop owner in any negative light. He was up front about the dubious nature of the console, allowed me to open it and inspect it. Overall I liked the store, and it was nice to see plenty of physical media in a game store that wasn't all old copies of Madden or Sonic '06. The shop rents the display cases out to local collectors and doesn't take a cut of the sales price. You can't even buy the machine from the store, you have to call/text the collection owner and after that you arrange payment outside of the shop. The shop wont even ship the item to you, its all second party... It would be nice if they vetted things better, but since you aren't technically buying the item from the store its essentially a peer to peer transaction. However, I completely understand the perspective this type of arrangement can imply.

     

     

    Punisher, thanks for deleting the number.

  4. I am fully uneducated on the subject of dev kits and BJL mods and I make no official claims about the machine... but It seemed hella suspect to me thus why I passed it along to 'yall experts. I didn't see a BJL switch so I wasn't sure if that was necessary for a BJL mod or not. Either way, thanks for the information! And yes, there was a cart inside and it was Cybermorph. I told the store owner that I doubted that it was a dev kit, but since its a private collection he just shrugged and said, "Thats between the buyer and the owner. The store makes no claims about the machine, thats why you contact the seller directly." 

     

     

    Either way, $2500 was silly expensive. Thanks for clearing this up for me!

     

    The mods might want to fully delete this post so no-one pays 2500 for a modded Jag that isn't a "Dev Kit".

  5. I was in LA for a quick trip and walked into an LA game store on Melrose. They have a Jaguar "Dev Kit" with an included game called Morphius. I didn't pick it up cause i didn't have $2500 but I was allowed to remove the console to inspect it. It looks legit with the small ribbon cable coming out of the back (not a BJL mod). I did not see an Alpine board and could not power the console on, but i wanted to pass along in case anyone wanted to investigate it further.

     

    Happy Hunting!

    Cheers

If anyone wants some, I have two sizes available.  Pictures included  to show the scale. The large stickers has a glitter foils look, while the smaller sticker has a prismatic look. Thanks for taking a look!

    So I was looking at BigPEmu on youtube and thought "oh wow a perfect Jag emu". I have Phoenix which runs very well on my PC. But when I try BigPEmu it's slow and the sound is jerky. I tried playing with the settings but to no avail. Does this emu simply have high system reqs?

     

    Intel Core I5 and 8gb ram. I would think that's plenty for a Jaguar? 

    I run BIGPEmu on an Atari VCS in Windows/PC mode and its full speed, full compatability and even lets me do all the fun whiz bang overclocking stuff. Surely the VCS is less powerfull than your PC?

    Well here ends my interest in BigPEMU. I wanted to play World Tour Racing, and Rich didn't see fit to test his emulator with the only ISO out there for everyone to enjoy for free in the collection of Jag CD images at archive.org. Why he chose to use some version nobody will ever find I will never know.

     

    It is not on any of the other sites that have Jag CD individual ISO. Disappointed. 

    It took me literally two minutes, using google, to find a complete set of working Jag CD iso's Including two different ISO;s for World Tour Racing,

  9. The 8-Bit guy has a really cool game that is being ported to a bunch of platforms including the Amiga and Genesis. I wonder what it would take to port it over to the Jag? The controller would be a perfect for the control scheme and since the Jag shares a Processor with the Amiga and Genesis (68000) there is already some common ground there. He seems really open the sharing the source, I wonder if this would be an easy port or too much of a headache to bring it over to the Jag.

     

    Thoughts?

    Yes, I've not posted it publicly as some of those with new units tend to ignore the instructions given to them and just download and try to use the old firmware and ask me why it fails. I'm trying to avoid this for the small percentage with the old carts. PM'd you a link.

    I also would like the link to the latest firmware for my Jag SD. Thank you!

  11. Is there a decent replica of the Battlesphere box. I dont want to buy a repro, but I do want the box for display. I repeat...I am not advocating the piracy of this game, but the box looks so cool and Id love to at least be able to look at the empty box on the shelf.

    Hey All! In a few weeks I'll be releasing my JAG2GEN Jaguar AV adapter. This adapter allows you to connect Sega Genesis (Model 2) AV cables to your Atari Jaguar. This provides a more common and readily available solution for connecting your Atari Jaguar to an SDTV or HDTV. The JAG2GEN works great with HD Retrovision cables (Genesis Model 2) and works even better with HD Retrovision cables connected to a scan converter like OSSC. 

     

    I've created a sign up list for anyone interest:
    https://www.humblebazooka.com/product/jag2gen-jaguar-av-to-genesis-cables/

     

    jag2gen_01.jpg

    (pre-production shell subject to change upon release)

     

    Features:

    • Supports Genesis Model 2 AV cabes
    • Supports HD Retrovision cables
    • Allows you to use an OSSC or RetroTink to upscale for better video quality
    • Properly attenuated sync
    • Custom designed and professionally assembled PCB
    • Custom designed 3D printed shell

     

    FAQ:

    Q) What is the JAG2GEN?
    A) The JAG2GEN is an adapter that simply converts your Jaguar’s AV signal to that of a Genesis model 2 AV cable.


    Q) Will it make my picture quality look better
    A) Not by itself but the JAG2GEN captures your Jaguar’s RGB signals allowing a scan converter to make your Jaguar games look amazing.


    Q) Why not straight to HDMI?
    A) Converting and upscaling 240p signal from RGB requires a lot of development time in hardware and software, requiring hardware that would inflate the cost of this adapter to the end user. I wanted to develop something simple that anyone can afford and use.

     

    Q) Is this the same thing as Helder's "JAG2SNES" adapter?

    A) It's very similar and uses a similar circuit and components. The JAG2SNES was actually my idea I pitched to Helder who then made the PCBs. I designed the shell, did all the R&D testing, and we eventually got the adapter to market. I've learned from that experience and decided to make my own adapter and offer an option for people with Genesis model 2 AV cables.

     

    Q) Is this the same thing as Jody Hicks' (Judas-Prime) Jag AV adapters?
    A) Nope - same concept, different execution! This is a ground up solution I've developed. If you already own Jody's adapter, there's probably no reason to buy this if his performs how you want it to. I'm sure I don't need to tell you guys how awesome of a dude Jody is. But he openly endorsed Helder's and my JAG2SNES adapter via Twitter, which he didn't have to do. 

    I fully endorse this new adapter and its lower price point! I am retired from making 2jag adapters, so if you are on the fence about picking one of these up, dont be! I bought one and they are well made and the 3d print shell (which I normally despise) is very nice!
