Hm the description you provided sounds like it is just an audio recording, but the description from best electronics openly talks about it being an audio and visual cd to display the capabilities of the jag cd. That makes it sound like a cinepak video or executable to launch some demos...

Is it just jaguar game commercials and/or rolling demos, or is it a fantastic music and video collage? Tried searching youtube but didn't get any hits. It was an item at best electronics http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/jaguar.htm

Hm maybe I ought to revisit cybermorph. I played it for an hour or two one day and beat all but one of the first group of planets, but I didn't remember it saving anything when I booted it up on other occasions and played it casually. Maybe I wasn't far enough in, or maybe my cart's save ability is defective

Addicted to Cybermorph, that's something I've never heard before. How do you spend the summer playing through it, I think there's no password system and no saving, so you'd have to start from the beginning each time? Even though I think the game isn't bad, merely bland, that sounds like torture.

Was checking out videos of the PC version of the 3DO Road Rash, it looks much crisper in terms of higher screen and texture resolution. Maybe it will be relevant to the discussion here about Vlad's ability to render high resolution graphics.

Interesting interview!

Hey how do you know that I like the Battlemorph music and I think I would definitely play it if it were on cart and I could save my progress. As it is, I haven't justified the cost of entry to buy the CD version and get a memory tracker.

What was the contest and what were the proposed prizes?

I wish it had in game music. If it did I would probably actually play it periodically.

Haha there seems to be a lot of parts in this video that don't have to do with the jaguar. You guys are going swimming in a lake, what?

Cool pics looks like it was a fun event. Nice to see multiple people enjoying jaguar in the same place, compare this to me, a recluse playing jaguar by myself in a darkened room because none of my buddies are into it

Yes, I saw someone selling them on ebay a couple weeks ago. It looked like he had more than one to sell because you could choose how many you wanted. Not sure if he's still selling them though.

Looks cool. The creator of rez says he was inspired by tempest 2000 anyway so there's an unofficial connection there.

I got my jag used and didn't have it for several months. I bought it a short while later because it was inexpensive, 3d, exclusive to jag, and seems like a game you need to truly experience the jag and what it was like back in the day. It doesn't get much play but it's not an awful game, just a little boring compared to other titles.

I use an emulator called 4DO, it seems to recognize my usb joystick with no problems (actually a USB to 3DO controller adapter that I have a 3DO controller plugged into). Maybe give that emu a shot? It's a decent one.

^Good points on the programming side of things, but coming up with all the artwork, 3d models, textures etc to make a complete 3D game per 1994/1995 standards still seems like it would take a very long time in and of itself. It seems that having multiple people work on the artwork would greatly speed up the process.

For Val D'isere - I think a game that was about 95% the same was on SNES

No, the tv would just display images like in the first post. I've since been able to use those carts on the new system, so its not a dirty cart issue.

I took the plunge and bought an av modded unit. Its working out well and I'm pleased to see my old carts still seem to work. I'm using a genesis controller for the moment and noticed pole position is unplayable with it (it doesn't recognize the gas button being pressed), I guess this is due to it thinking the second 7800 button is pressed down at all times, so the brake is trumping the gas. I saw that best electronics sells an adapter for genesis controllers and jaguar controllers to be used with other atari systems - any idea if these adapter cables would allow for two button usage for 7800 games, or if it is designed only with the 2600 in mind?

Watched the video, looks pretty cool! The music itself is pretty impressive to say nothing of the graphical effects on display.

What a nice surprise! Looks cool!

Agreed. So thinking about similar adapters, the super gameboy comes to mind and the retrogen play genesis games on snes adapter comes to mind. The super gameboy is literally gameboy hardware inside a cartridge. It would be cool to be able to shrink down the lynx hardware, but the lynx had many proprietary chips and to recreate and shrink down the lynx hardware would probably be a bigger challenge than if someone went the same route retrogen did with the genesis "adapter". I believe the genesis adapter is simply a genesis emulator, perhaps running on an android cpu inside the cartridge. It takes controller inputs from the snes controllers plugged into the snes system, but the cartridge has its own video output and the snes processors/ram etc aren't really doing anything to emulate or process the genesis game. So basically, what we need to do is put a simple computer inside a jaguar cartridge that will fit inside the jag's cartridge slot, that would have a compatible lynx emulator running on it, and then clean it up with some nice looking plastic and optimize that cartridge computer to boot and load a lynx emulator as quickly as possible and be able to receive the jaguar controller commands via the jag's cartridge slot and process them as inputs for the lynx emulation. It would of course also be nice to have a lynx cartridge slot on this cartridge computer so it could load the rom from the lynx cartridge into the lynx emulator and play it that way. Of course you could simply wire up some small computer with a lynx emulator to your tv and play with xbox 360 controllers with much less cost and hassle, but we need to think of style over substance here

Cool news. I'm Interested in hot dog and avp.

FYI in case it is confusing - this is NowThereAreNoLimits' video. I posted it under a different title in a separate thread. The thread's are now merged and I've wound up as the first post but with NowThereAreNoLimits' thread title referencing that it is his jag collection, this is not me and my family in the video Wow, you got quite the haul with that Jag all at once. Your collection there is larger than my current one although i've had the jag for a few years now.

Cute home video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS-S6HsT-pY
