    If you seriously consider adding some additional features and improving some aspects of the game, I will definitely buy one of them. I really liked Fast Food 64... but wasn't overly thrilled with the collisions... but I did really like the game. I also thought Jag Zombies had some promise to it... just needed a bit more dynamics to it. If I was going to pay $9.99+ for a game like Jag Zombies, I would want more sprites involved in the explosions and movement. But both games are fun, and I would seriously buy them if some of these things were fixed.

    Its Fast Food 64 PC edition not the Jaguar rom.

     

    I said JagZombies 2. Not JagZombies 1. But it will also have JagZombies 1 included in the package just like the JZ2 Jaguar version has.

    Are you going to fix all the glitches in Fast Food?

     

    Its Fast Food 64 PC version converted to Linux not Fast Food 64 Jaguar so the glitches you are going on about are not even present so nothing to fix there. Or did you forget I already made a superior PC version?

    You do realise you can't bundle either of those with your... games... for sale, right?

    What? This was 2 separate comments. The first being that I am developing ports for Fast Food 64 and JagZombies 2 FOR THE ATARI VCS. That can be launched from the VCS store. These are actually Linux games and have nothing to do with the actual Jaguar roms.

     

     

    The second comment was about Jaguar emulation on the VCS which is one of the things people have been curious about.

     

    Never said anything about selling the emulators

    Is there any thought to getting a lot of these Jaguar games ported to the VCS in some sort of manner? Either through a new service from AtariAge (yup, just went there) or something that Atari offers on their own?

     

    Would love to see al the Carl Forhan / AtariAge / Piko / Orion / Minter games all available on the VCS.

     

    Maybe even a Jaguar controller adapter so I can use my Jaguar controller on the VCS.

     

     

    Side thought... I haven't played my Jaguar in almost a year... I've been thinking about maybe selling it all. I literally have every Jaguar game plus all the home brews except GORF and BLACKLIGHT...

     

     

    I am making enhanced ports of Fast Food 64 and JagZombies 2 for the VCS. They will be available for purchase later this year in the Atari VCS store.

     

    Also both Virtual Jaguar and the Phoenix project run flawlessly in windows 10 on my unit.

    I did do the 32BG RAM upgrade and 1 TB SSD

    You are correct. I have unintentionally derailed this thread.

     

     

    For that I sincerely apologize Phoboz, I will not comment anymore

    Sorry, I should have specified the video I referred to was a NES not an n64.  The NES being FAMOUS for carts not working unless you blew on them.

     

    That was my point, not all of the other noise. NES was the blowing on the cart thing, not N64, but I guess times are a changing

    There was a video I watched recently where the guy was saying blowing on the cart was a myth.... then proceeded to insert the cart, it didn't work, then he blew on the cart and it worked.

    They just liked to break the sexual tension of inserting things.

    The only video I could find of anyone blowing into an N64 cart (despite it being the thing to do now) was this one. I thought since it was such a popular practice that there would be a lot of videos of people doing it but no, sadly only this guy and he never did get it to work.

    Your circular attempts at logic would be amusing if they weren't so sad.

     

     

    glad you are amused and sad for me. I'm sad for anyone blowing into N64 carts and thinking that is the thing to do or playing Super Metroid and calling it a metroidvania game

    No Jeff, I corrected them every time I saw it and it was a lot over the 12 years I ran the stores. I actually sold the kits to clean the carts because of that. But make shit up and steer the conversation away from you being wrong.

    oh.....

     

     

    IN THAT CASE I apologize I assumed you were part of the problem for the trend.

     

    Ok I was wrong Tom. I said people never blew into N64 carts, I underestimated the rest of the nation but around here we didn't and we still don't I have never seen it and as I said I know other people who have N64 consoles.

     

    I said the black piece was a dust protector. I was not wrong that is what it is, but if it makes you feel good then I will say I was wrong there as well, I don't even care anymore.

    Change argument when you are proven wrong.

    If you ever bought the cleaning kits back in the day, that is what was used.

    When I ran my game stores, we called nintendo and they just recommended 70% rubbing alcohol and 30% water (mixture).

    No I'm not changing the argument I said blowing into N64 carts was never a thing and apparently you say it is. I guess it is

     

    NOW

     

    doesn't change the fact that anyone blowing into an N64 cart isn't really doing anything.

     

     

    I never bought a cleaning kit so I wouldn't know, I will take your word for it because like I said my carts always boot without any blowing or cleaning

    To keep the board from having shit drop in. Kids will jam pennies(etc.) up there.   Why do you think people blow on the carts teeth. You do realize people are blowing on the teeth, not the board inside????

    And there is no reason to open a N64 cart to clean the teeth cuz they are EXPOSED!!!!!

    Wtf I know what the black piece is I told YOU thats what it was. It is a dust protector to protect the inside of the cart. Thats what I said. I never said it covered the edge connector.

     

    As far as the cart connector getting blown on sure man keep doing that. Its still wrong and is likely causing whatever games you cant get to boot as the edge connectors are rusting from spit. 

     

    I have owned these games for over 20 years and the same system. I have never once cleaned my N64 (its pretty dirty on the outside) and I still dont have to blow in any carts. They boot every time.

     

    Btw alcohol can also damage the actual cart connector on the N64 itself. But do what you do man!

    The last thing I want is to get dragged into one your pedantic arguments. If you don't know the difference between a dust protector that protects the populated circuit board of a cart and one that protects the contacts, then nothing I say is going to make any difference in preventing you from further embarrassing yourself.

     

    I never said it protected the contacts. I actually said it protects the inside of the cart which is what it does. I am well aware of its function but nice try. So you are acusing me of not knowing something when what you just stated is exactly what I said?

    The teeth are what people blow on. And the TEETH on the N64, SNES and NES are ALL exposed. People blow on carts because the moisture from your breath gets on the teeth and people believe it helps make better contact. 

    There is no difference between those 3 carts as far as the teeth and the rest of the boards being exposed or not exposed.

     

    RE-READ your post. You said "This is just like all of the memes going around these days of people blowing on N64 carts to get them working. This is false. This was never a thing. (NES and SNES yes)"

    All three have the same basic design. THE TEETH ARE EXPOSED on all three and the boards are covered. The NES and SNES covered the rest of the board with the cart shell. On the N64, they covered it with the black piece, but it covers exactly the same parts.

     

    You also said "Nobody ever blew on N64 carts because there is a black plastic dust protector inside of every cart right at the connector so what would you actually be blowing?"

    They are blowing on the exact same thing as the NES and SNES, the TEETH!!!! The black piece does not cover the teeth. 

     

    Dude just stop. You are full of it.

    So you were blowing on N64 carts then? We all just blew on our N64 carts because it was a common thing then huh? So it was a thing? Really? You are gonna sit there and try and tell me you have N64 carts that wont boot and you blow on them to get them working? Really? Whos full of it? Show me a video of an n64 cart NOT WORKING and you blowing into it to fix it

     

    When you say things like "people believe the moisture in their breath fixes it" it sounds like you don't believe the BS you are saying.

     

    I guess the black piece is NOT a dust protector then it's just a doo-dad. Black piece is just a doo-dad gotcha! Totally down with that

    Jesus Jeff. The black does NOT cover the teeth of the cart.  You need need a clue.

    Right it doesn't cover the edge connector of the pcb but in fact protects dust from getting inside the cart as the enclosure piece is nearly air tight.

     

    As I already stated before blowing on the cart connector doesn't do jack. If you or people you know THINK they are doing something special to get the cart working by blowing into it you are probably only scraping off the connector as you remove and insert the cart into into the n64. Which also has dust protecion. Little grey doors. The Nintendo 64 console is not a console that is famous for "blowing into the carts" because of these dust protection features. Despite apparently you and others trying to rewrite history. I have never known anyone to blow into an N64 cart and if I ever saw such a thing I would smack said person in the back of the head and ask them what they were on.

     

    There is no clue to be gotten as I have owned every single title available for the N64. I have had the system since September 29 1996 and not a single cart I have loaded has not booted. I also know other people who own N64s and blowing into the carts is not a thing. Its misinformation and apparently a new trend of useless blowing into the cart being started by people who are either too young to remember that N64 is quality shit and just works or older people who have forgotten and are mixing them up with NES and SNES.

     

    But if you like blowing into n64 carts by all means continue. Would be interesting to see an N64 game that just wont boot without it or an N64 game that wont boot at all. I do hope that when you find this elusive N64 cart that needs a good blowing that you first try inserting and removing and repeating a couple of times BEFORE you actually blow into it, because then when it magically boots you will have a clue as to what you just did

    Just for you Tom. This piece of black plastic is a dust protector that prevents dust from going inside of the cart. It you blow into the cart you are just blowing into the dust protector.

    So next time you disassemble an N64 cart to clean it you can identify that black piece of plastic is actually a dust protector. If you have cleaned the carts out by dissembly you would already be familiar with the main parts of the cart.

     

    Dust protector

     

    Heat shield

     

    Cartridge pcb

     

     

    Anyone blowing into an N64 cart is..... "Special" because they are literally blowing spit right back in their own face as they are only blowing onto a piece of plastic. Any semblance  of an N64 game working from blowing into it is merely the edge connector getting brushed off from inserting and reinserting into the console.

    What are you talking about with the N64 carts all having dust protectors? I have sold thousands of N64 carts and do not remember any of them having dust protectors. I think you are mistaken. There might be one or two odd-ball cart releases with them, but I can tell ya most(if not all) do not have those. I also have clean many hundreds of N64 carts that were green and had dust and shit from people blowing in/on them.  They are not as bad as NES, because the NES system was not as good at playing dirty carts (compared toploaders ex: snes, N64 & NES toploaders).

    The black plastic piece right there inside of every single cart you just showed in your pic. Its SOLID BLACK CANT MISS IT. Protects the inside of the cart from dust. I guess you never noticed it all of these years.

     

    You DO SEE BLACK RIGHT?
