    Zylonbane: I'm not a console only gamer, I have a decent PC & Logitech Cordless controller and several PC games I play when I have time. I just seem to play my Jaguar & Dreamcast more though, because it's what I'm used to, I've only had my PC and internet since Mid 2004. :)

    But if it's ported to another system that still leaves the common jag owner with empty hands.

     

    With all the talk about the fabled BATTLESPHERE it does seem as if you have empty hands if you cannot afford a copy. Battlesphere should be available to everyone, in a perfect world. :) It's not the 1.75 million dollar Atlantis II, or the ten thousand dollar Nintendo GOLD summer games cartridge. But at $500+ it's still out of reach for people on a budget. :(

    Yes, but if scatologic is complaining about the cost of making jag carts, the only way they can market battlesphere reasonably is to port it on CD-rom media for pc (or even jaguar, for that matter), why not make All the battlespheres on jag CD? This might make the prices go down a little.

     

    CD-Rom media for the PC would probably be fine for BS considering the advanced hardware the Jag doesn't have. But I think the developers for BS were originally going to use the JagCD but had a hard time with making everything work, there was a lot of slowdown with the JagCD, some aspects such as networking would not work at all, so they switched to the cartridge format on Jaguar to keep the 60 fps speed, and network ability, and other aspects of the engine that simply would not work as well with the JagCD's 2MB? of RAM availability.

     

    P.S. I know the Jaguar base unit has 2MB of RAM, but does anyone know how much RAM or buffer the JagCD has or has access to?

    Those Tiny Toon screenshots look awesome!. There are people that have done Hi-res static screens on the Jag for Bjl.

    Indiana Jags would have been great! on the Jaguar, I wish that one was finished, - as well as Tiny Toons. TT was in development for at least a few years it seems, the picture is on the box back and poster.

    If you made the cable yourself and the sound is cutting out, then there is most likely a short somewhere in the cable, something's probably touching something else or there may be a break inside a wire casing/sheath. Double check all your solder joints. Yeah, the RF connection for the Jaguar sucks ass, I read Atari was disapointed with it too, there was not enough shielding on the cables so there was a lot of interference. I noticed a lot of Jag RF units show a visible pattern on the left hand side of the screen.

    I wish Atari would have been able to release this game, they were advertising it very early on - on the console box back and the poster that was in some early console boxes. It looked like it had pretty good graphics, I haven't even heard of any protos or alphas, betas around. Seems like they had plenty of time to get it out I wonder what happened?

    I've tried using a bypass cart and it really has no better effect at making the menu show up every time. Lars basically said on JSII the problem is the menu not showing up, not the disc failing to boot. From what I understand from Lars' and others comments here and at JSII, is that since everyone including myself who has trouble with LT puts the encrypted CD in and we see first, the "Starcat logo" and then the black screen. So according to that fact & Lars' comments the LT CD is booting up all the time! for everybody!, however the menu does not show up every time :( and you get a black screen, so this is the real problem. I downloaded Lars' LT boot CD which has the menu on it, doesn't have a problem running the menu screen, and then tells you to open the JagCD and put in the LT disc. So the problem for the Limited Edition E-Jagfest Lost Treasures CD menu is fixed! with this "menu" boot CD. :)

    You just click the Nero Or Discjuggler pre-made image and burn the CD everything is preset, You must have these programs of course. Use CD-Rs only on 8X burning speed or less( I use 2X recording speed). There is no special downloading program, just individual programs needed for burning. Explain, what exactly are you doing with each game you download.

    I ordered one! yesterday and I can't wait to check Lost Treasures out, 30 demos wow! Coolness! :)

     

    Also, Lars I had problems turning on the power to the house in the Errievale Demo on Ocean Depths, is it possible? Some people said there is no fusebox key, to look for a crowbar? Is it possible to enter the house?

     

    On the newer Errievale demo on Lost Treasures will access to the fusebox and house be possible?

    The 1mb is supposed to have less in game speech from skylar also, (700700-3)-is the number on cart itself.

    The 2mb is supposed to have a whizzier intro sequence also with more different comments from skylar (700700-2)

    There is some nice goroud shading in the game, quite challenging.

    Jeff Minter is an excellent coder, and graphical designer and you should see the lightsynths he's doing now!!!! You'll think you took shrooms!!!! He did the VLM 2 for certain Samsung and Toshiba DVD players that was a media processor chip called NUON, he designed it so you could not see any of the pixilation apparent in the Jags' VLM 1. It looks excellent! He also did a VLM 3 which was never released for the Gamecube.

    Now he will finally realize his 20 year dream of getting a light synthisizer to millions of people with the release of his newest lightsynth, the XBOX 360 's NEON! - a lightsynth which is in it's firmware. He says, "Well, without giving any secrets away and getting myself into trouble with Microsoft, I can tell you that the Xbox360 can bring to bear an absolutely *staggering* amount of computational power on each and every pixel, and never drop below 60 frames a second. The thing's a *monster*."

    I don't have a XBOX 360 but he says of it; it puts the VLM 1, "striaght into the stone age" and

    "Finally realising my design of a modular lightsynth on top of that awesome computational power, and inheriting the multi-user controllability from VLM-3, is NEON - and the results are simply amazing. Even I am continually amazed at what it is possible to get out of it, and I designed it }:-D." & "It is a true light synthesiser, and easily the most beautiful thing I have ever made, by a very long way."

    Please take a look for yourself on his website: Jeff Minters Best!!! - NEON!!!!!!!!

    And be sure to look at the teaser trailer for the NEON and the awsome NEON still shots
