[Does anyone know if World Tour Racing on the Jaguar CD had an original cardboard box release?]

Yes cardboard box version exists. I believe telegames had it in cardboard box for awhile.

[U.S.B Jaguar Pro-Controller]

The adapter you linked works with the pro controller. I have it and use it myself.

 

In fact the pro controller doesn't have more buttons than the regular controller. What I mean is that the "new" buttons on the pro controller duplicate some of the existing buttons in the number pad area. So there are no additional unique buttons compared to the regular pad.

Cool!  Btw I heard that an unreleased port of Blackthorne for 3do was demoed at this e3 but I've never seen it in any videos.

That would be funny if Best cracked open a new crate he hadn't looked in before and it was full of 1000 jag CD units.

[I just learned something 30 years after the fact (very late to the party)]

It's ok, I didn't make the connection until the last couple years myself.  I'm sure there were a bunch of kids in 1994 who had never heard the jingle either since I don't think it was used in Jaguar commercials and I don't think it was used much in atari commercials of the 90s. And as you pointed out, its not the most obvious recreation of how it sounds in the commercials.

[It took 29 years, but I think I finally kinda 'get' and like Cyber Morph]

I wish it had in game music. 

 

How many levels does it have? Ive only played long enough to get through the first set, and then noticed I had a new set to beat.

[Akka Arrh (Llamasoft for Atari) - (in VCS Store)]

This reimagined version by Jeff Minter looks fantastic.  In fact, this is basically what Atari should do with their arcade classics - hand them over to Jeff Minter to make them into an amazing spectacle for the new millennium.  I'd play an arcade cab of this.

 

The goofy trailer with the low voice is funny and interesting too.  I like the presentation like its some top secret mysterious polybius thing.

How did you make this out? I need my eyes checked! lol

I put a shortcut on my desktop so I could readily start playing Jag whenever I wanted   That made the icon larger.

I noticed the icon for the emulator is a baby. Anyone know the significance?  Rich's baby?

[BigPEmu and Controllers]

Interesting.  I am literally using the same jag adapter with the same type of replica pro controller. I configured it to the key binds inside bigpemu, and have had no issues whatsoever over the last several days of using it.

[BigPEmu and Controllers]

Why don't you also open up the USB joystick settings in windows and make sure all your buttons register and that the joystick isn't dropped after 30 seconds.

 

Also check the physical prongs on the plug on your controller. I read in the controller topic that those can be bent sometimes, in which case maybe something isn't making a good connection with the female end on the adapter.

[BigPEmu and Controllers]

I haven't had this issue. This sounds like a windows driver issue. I had a USB wi Fi dongle that had a similar symptom as you described. Issue was a driver mismatch with my version of windows.

 

Do you get the same symptoms when using with a different program, such as a SNES emulator or a PC game? That will at least help isolate whether it's your PC or an incompatibility with bigpemu specifically (unlikely since I use the same controller and adapter with the emulator without problems).

I would like to see actual Atari Jaguar controller support for this emulator!

 

Um you can get a USB adapter and be using a Jaguar controller with this emulator very easily!  I was using the replica pro controllers with the emu today in fact!  http://www.2600-daptor.com/Jaguar-daptor.htm

Question: how can i run the emulator on Windows 10? I'm not kidding, it says that the software cannot be executed on my CPU and i have a decent rig.

Works with no error messages on my windows 10 setup.

[New Atari Jaguar Emulator with tons of options I believe it is the one from 50th Anniversary]

It's been mentioned elsewhere but yes this is apparently the same emulator that was used in Atari 50.

 

I just did a quick 15 minute test of the emulator. Its fantastic. It played almost every rom I threw at it including games like Iron Soldier, Skyhammer and Battlesphere that have issues with some of the other emulators.  At the default settings the games ran quite well, didn't really pick up on any noticeable graphics or performance issues in my quick testing.  Aside from the retail cartridge library, the emu didn't play a rom of Aircars, but maybe that's a bad rom file I have - it didn't work with other emulators either. It also didn't play a skunk/gamedrive locked ST port that I tested, which isn't a big surprise.

 

In a FAQ section on the website, it looks like the author is interested in adding Jag CD support but is looking for donations of money or the hardware in order to analyze the hardware in person due to the expense of the unit these days. I hope something is able to be worked out because this emulator is fantastic and highly compatible and having Jag CD support would basically enable it to provide close to the full Jag experience.

 

Also as mentioned elsewhere, the author is having some serious life threatening medical issues at the moment.  In his youtube video demonstrating the emulator he mentioned his plans to continue updating the emulator but mentioned that he is having a serious operation soon and that if the emulator is not updated beyond the initial release, it means that he died 😬.  I wish him the best and hope for good luck for his operation and dealing with his condition overall.

Oh ok, I was watching the video silently because I was at work. Found my way over to his patreon, oh man, what a tragedy. Hope something good can still happen for him in some way. Too young to be dealing with something like this.

[Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration compilation will include Jaguar games]

What's the deal with the author's health. I didn't see any reference to that in the Twitter post or another website post by the author I found mentioning the emu.

[Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration compilation will include Jaguar games]

Bigpemu looks very interesting. It'll be fun to compare to VJ and Phoenix and see if games run better with this emu, and if the handful of games that don't run at all on either emulator run on this one.  It would also be incredible if bigpemu provided jagcd emulation since neither of the other main emulators do, although reviewing the video, I didn't see any references to that.

Thanks for the link. I just bought 2 of these and 2 cables

Works great with the Phoenix Jaguar emulator.  I have also been playing several non Jaguar games with the pro controller lately. One of them, the dodonpachi series of space ship shooters on Mame allows you to fire bullets if you tap a button quickly, and a laser if you hold that same button.  Many other games in this genre do that as well.  Interestingly enough, that works fine if I set that ability to A B C or X on the controller, but Z and Y are not as responsive and in fact no matter how I tap the Z button it doesn't register properly in the game to fire the bullets (it will either do nothing because I tapped too quickly and it didn't seem to register a connection in the controller, or it will fire a spurt of the laser because I tapped slower and firmly pressed the button in, which was enough for the game to assume I'm starting to hold it down).  Not sure if it's a controller button responsiveness issue, like if the rubber membrane in the controller is a little bit off from where it needs to be to connect the circuit on the buttons pcb, or maybe an issue with the jag adapter and not the controller.  In this case it's easy to work around because most games in this genre are two or three button games and I can configure those to use the good buttons, but could be some slight issues if you want to use the top row as your main action buttons, or if you want to use for six button games and are expecting the same level of responsiveness from each of the six buttons.

[Brand New Atari Jaguar Pro Controllers- For Sale!]

I bought a pair of these awhile ago but only recently had the opportunity to try them out. I was disappointed with the dpad on some initial playing, overall the controller feels like its good quality, but my dpad seems to hit the up direction a lot unexpectedly when I press either right or left.  This makes it a bit of a buzzkill for using with games that require precise inputs like Raiden or the fighting games.  Looking at other responses in this thread I opened the controller and tried to nudge the pcb around a bit, but I didn't really notice a difference from that first casual foray into repositioning things.

 

Then I tried the second controller that I bought and the Dpad is basically perfect, it feels more responsive and is easy to do precise movements and diagonals without triggering unexpected directions.  I guess I'll play around with the first one some more. The components are obviously good enough to have a good result, but maybe somewhere in the assembling process the components got a little off kilter. All other buttons on my two controllers work perfectly.

 

I tried these with a jaguar to USB controller adapter on my PC.  They work fine with that adapter, which is this one:  http://www.2600-daptor.com/Jaguar-daptor.htm

Putting Lynx LCD and CRTs in the same category of "bluriness", sorry for that, is utter nonsense.

We can agree to disagree. Similar to a crt, graphical techniques of the era to imply more colors and shading, stuff like checkerboard dithering, is going to get smoothed out on the og lynx screen as well as a crt, while looking like a checkerboard on a modern lcd. And isn't that the primary thing people are always crowing about when they say stuff like 16 bit games don't look right unless they are on a crt?
