WAVE 1 GAMES

Does anybody know any good graphics viewers for the Jaguar? I am currently trying to get the sprite and tile data from one of the Atari Karts tracks and I can't seem to load the atari karts .j64 rom file into the viewer I have. The name of the application I'm using is called Jag Viewer. It seems that it only loads rom images with the .rom file extension, so maybe I have to recompile the .j64 file I have into .rom format? I'm not sure about this one. I wonder if there are any other more generic rom viewers that may be compatible with jaguar roms? I seem to recall using one such program years ago that let me look at a wide variety of sprite formats. sega genesis, SNES and GBA are the ones I remember. Another thing I was wondering about were these darn Jaguar Sector 2 prototype roms. Seems the site that was hosting them are now offline, and they had exclusive rights to host the roms and nobody else? How does that work? So now the site is down and if somebody wants to download the roms they are out of luck? That's insane. I would actually like to play the Cybermorph, Defender 2000 and Atari Karts prototype roms. I could use these for my project as Pum King apparently was available in the beta without having to unlock him. I'm also willing to bet these roms would run better in Virtual Jaguar then their commercial release counterparts. If this is true this would make porting a Jaguar game to PC much better. I would also just like to see them, just to see what's different about them first hand as opposed to watching a very unclear youtube video of somebody's CRX display running the games. I guess I could search on ebay for a prototype cart, pay hundreds of dollars for said cart that may not work, rig up a skunk board and dismantle another atari jaguar...... (I only own one so I'd have to buy ANOTHER jaguar) yeah. I'm not doing that WOW I went on a rant there! sorry guys I'm just really frustrated trying to view the tile data and all. But I think I do make some good points about the Jaguar Sector 2 stuff. If I'm wrong or not understanding something about that please let me know, maybe I'm misinformed about the whole thing!

edit. I accidently double posted. sorry guys

I'm going to go ahead and start with Atari Karts, since it will be the easiest. Yeah this is going to be easy. Don't worry I will pay attention to the details. I have already ripped the main characters, Now I have to unlock Pum King and the other special characters. I'm thinking Sylar in the War Griffin would make an awesome addition to the PC roster.....

I have been playing a lot of Jaguar the last couple of days to give me inspiration for my Retropia project. I was actually thinking, i could probably make a port of Battlemorph for the PC and android. I know i could definitely do a PC port of Atari Karts. (I could do that game in 2 weeks, with extras) Would anybody here be interested in me tackling either one of these ideas? If I did Atari Karts and Battlemorph, i would also want to try doing defender 2000. If anybody would like to see this, let me know!

I just want to say I only just found out about the Coleco Chameleon after all the news and it really upset me. Having a name like Coleco endorse your project is a very awesome thing, but then to let it all slip away due to being dishonest just blows me away. Think of the opportunity here! I actually liked the idea of using Jaguar shells to make the console I thought that would be kind of cool and actually a nod to the past because Coleco always made copycat stuff Atari made back in the day and some times it came out better! But this was so sad. I guess I'm really not upset that he was dishonest and couldn't get a prototype out I'm more upset at the oppurtunity to do something great that he let slip away. IF they were able to actually put it out, it could have been a really nice addition to gaming history. I wish I could have been that guy with that same chance of endorsement from Coleco, I would have played my cards a little different and made it something special. Thats just my 2 cents.

Hi folks! This is my indie game I have been working on for the last couple of months now. The gameplay will be based strongly off Robotron 2084, however I will incorporate elements from other classic arcade games. Here's the story, RETROPIA is an inter dimensional space shooter in the game play style of Starfox 64 but with a graphics style reminiscent of 1980's science fiction. A race of inter dimensional beings have invaded our realm and it's up to you to purge our world of these invaders! You will have to meet them in the dimensional plane that separates our realm from theirs. This realm is known as Retropia. Using your state of the art Hawk-DX fighter you can travel in between dimensional planes and even drift from one position in space time to another at the push of a button! This game is being made for Windows PC and Android devices. I joined the Atari Forums because as a former owner of the 2600, 7800, Jaguar and Lynx I have always been a fan of Atari and classic games. I also figured if I'm going to be making a retro style game, what better place to get feedback? I really want to mold this into something special!
