Hi, There are no configuration file, the options are located in the Windows registries.

Hi. Do you launch the alpine mode directly without a rom / binary? In this case, the debugger will launch whatever the pc position / code it found, so it will result mostly on a crash. I have discovered this when studying the emulator code to add some stuff.

About 15 years ago, Hasbro Interactive released all rights that they have to the vintage Atari hardware platform, the Jaguar. In theory the SDKs, tools and tech. documents may be included but I never read the official Hasbro Release document(s).

It makes sense. :-) There are also information & useful notes in the z_misc directory; and the "theory of operation" text file gives some ideas/clues of what Tursi had in mind. I will dig a little but not sure if my USB experiences will be enough.

I remember to have read a couple of text files mentioning WiP on these 2 USB ports. Could you point me to this USB driver code? I have the Skunk full distribution zip file (the one available in the Tursi's web site), so I will be able to find the code if you can give me the filename(s). I do not promise anything but I can have a look at this stuff. Zerosquare is correct, the Skunklib is the communication functions library.

Hi Carl, At first, congrats for your work and dedication to our community. I have a comment/question about your next step. I believed the USB port found on the Skunkboard was not physically connected. I found this info on a web site: "What are the two large USB ports for? -When originally designed, Skunkboard was intended to support USB memory sticks for booting and loading software. This functionality is not yet developed. -There are no plans to develop these USB ports at this time." So does it means it was a matter of software and not a hardware issue?

I give you a couple of screenshots of this manual. It has some less pages than the English one, otherwise the both manuals describe the game the same way.

Hi, Sorry to bother you with this question, but I have a Cybermorph boxed edition which contains also a manual in Japanese. I've found this curious, do all boxed editions came with it too? (I do not think so but I prefer to ask). Thanks,

I guess you are using GDB with jserve; in this case, the Jaguar debug stub (jdb.cof - loaded by jserve) initialise the stack at $1FFFF0.

Sure. I and Jagchris did a discussion about it some time ago, and written down a document; you can find it here: http://3do.cdinteractive.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3601 There are also a couple of screenshots to show the solution in action too. It works fine at my side, so you may have different results. I will recommend to start playing around GDB and Skunkboard within the GDB console mode, if you never done it before. I use my own jserve version based on Tursi work (very talented guy), but the jserve from Tursi will work fine too.

Hi, I use GDB and Skunkboard; I use both via Code::Blocks, in my case, and comfort is similar with Visual Studio, you can trace M68K only. It is rather slow for Debug, but my laptop is pretty hold too so it doesn't help either. When using GDB & Skunkboard environment, I remember I was able to trace without the symbols.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. There is an update of jcp2 (2.0.5), it includes a parameter to select a Jaguar based on the Skunkboard serial number. It was a good suggestion. :-) The mods from the Jaguar64.eu forum granted me a FTP access, so I will also put stuff there as well. If someone meets an issue with jcp2 and/or have suggestion(s) to improve the tool, I would like to hear it.

Thank you for the information, I was not looking for the install base; but about an overall number. I was curious about how "popular" this kind of stuff can be.

Do we know the numbers of Skunkboard around the world (from rev.1 to the Silly Venture edition)?

I think I have an explanation about the number of downloads. When I updated / edited the message in my original thread, it did reset the download number to 0. I updated my original message to avoid to stack pile versions in the thread. This jcp version is not the 1st one I did; the 1st one took more downloads but it had a Windows XP compatibility problem (which was solved in the current release). If you find an issue, please let me know, and I will look at it. In the web site, there is a also a discussion about M68K debugging (Code::Blocks, GDB, jserve & Skunkboard) and an updated jserve version (a new one is in progress but I need time to test it more, and I may include the Skunkboard detection version - which may be more user friendly that to give an usb port). Regards,

Hello, Just wish to know if one of you have checked this jcp (Win32 or x64) update I did some weeks ago and available at: http://3do.cdinteractive.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3606 You have to enter your USB port (0, 1, etc.) to select the Jaguar. At that time, I didn't think about the use of the Skunkboard serial (but I may add it in the future). Thanks,

Have you tried a most recent Smac version? The 1.0.18 by example?

I've also sent an email to [email protected] but no reply yet about the shipping cost to Canada.

Hi Michael, Thank you for the updates, and sorry for this late reply. I have tried with your new package and just got 2 errors (on the ALN.UI file by example), errors different from the previous ones. "maximum token number exceeded without further..." I will look at the issue again, but your package looks very usable anyway. Regards

Hi Michael, Thank you for the file, I have look at it and it looks fine. Look / presentation is different but this is a matter of taste, the information are here and this is the most important. Anyway, your version is already available so the community has a nice alternative; I wll continue to do the PDF and will post them here time to time. Regards, 04-TechnicalReference_26.April-21.June.1995.pdf

Hello Michael, Thank you very much for this information. Your work was unknown to me and I'm glad to know someone did OCR actions before. I've tried UDO with your files but was not able to generate PDF or Rtf files. I'm using UDO 7.03 on Windows (command line) and I just got errors whatever the formats selected. Most of the errors are related to "too many words..." or "items ignored...", but please could you generate one or two PDF and/or Rtf files at your side? To see how it looks like. If you can also send me your options used in the command line, it will be useful, just in case of. Anyway, your work offer a very interesting option / alternative for the community. And, I'm probably too old fashioned when it is about documentation - PDF or Word files have my preferences. With kind regards,

Thank you for the feedbacks, I will try to finish the OCRs before Christmas; Since my Jaguar stuff is not arrived yet, I can spend some time on this, This evening, I give you a new chapter "Getting Started"; as usual, feel free to let me know if you spot errors. It can be easily fixed. Since I'm new in the Jaguar scene, I use this OCR actions also to know more about the machine & the stuff around. So I apply some kind of proof reading. The next chapter in progress is the "Technical Reference". 01-GettingStarted_10.April-5.June.1995.pdf

Performed OCR, and tried another presentation, on a smaller document "Hardware Bugs & Warnings"; it looks better now. 05-HardwareBugs&Warnings_26.April.1995.pdf

Ok, I do not know how far I will go but let's try it. So, the next batch will be about the "Getting Started.pdf" file. I will keep you updated for this one.

Thank you for the feedbacks, I'm able to create a word file (by page), so I guess there is a way to improve the presentation, to have a unique good looking. If you have to choose on future OCR actions, what chapter the community would like to see first? among the remaining ones: Index.pdf Getting Started.pdf Software Reference.pdf Technical Reference.pdf Hardware Bugs & Warnings.pdf Jaguar CD-ROM.pdf The Jaguar Voice Modem.pdf Jaguar Workshop Series.pdf Sample Programs.pdf Libraries.pdf QSound for Jaguar.pdf Cinepak for Jaguar.pdf Tools.pdf Appendices.pdf Madmac Macro Assembler.pdf ALN Linker.pdf DB - The Atari Debugger.pdf Thanks,
