I present you my new pixel 2D platformer game: Alice's Mom's Rescue The story: The giant raven has captured Alice's mother. Help Alice save her mother through 3 worlds and 25 levels! Change Alice's height using the magic mushrooms to get through the tiny spaces. Beware of the evil cats, birds, bats and spikes! The game is available for Android phones and tablets and is compatible with the following gamepad controller: Xperia Play / iPega / Zeemote. It is also available for Windows PC. I will port the game on Dreamcast and Jaguar CD in the coming months. And maybe Playstation 1 and Sega CD if enough people are interested. https://vimeo.com/110898720

I also use ROQ codec for Philia on Falcon CT60, but it's barely realtime on a CT60 @ 66Mhz (with C code and fast SDRam) For the bare Falcon 030 version of Philia, I had to use an asm optimized version of the cinepak codec, because @ 16mhz it was the only codec that could do realtime. (and not in fullscreen) So, I guess doing ROQ on Jaguar in optimized asm will not be that strait forward to have something realtime.

It's like always in the Jaguar community, too much talking about what we could do, and so little people actually DOING and releasing something. (like, a cinepak player ready to use for coders maybe ? did that ever happen before my package release ?) So let's see, coding a realtime ROQ decoder in GPU assembly, not talking about the Jag CD data streaming (which is, not that obvious, trust me) I just wonder how much time this will take to code, for someone who, I guess, almost never coded for the Jaguar/JagCD. But you can surprise me JagChris > I use the cinepak player in my last 3 Jaguar CD Games, so it's already convenient to use for me (seems like I'm the only user anyway)

Did anyone used my cinepak "library" to produce a game ? So, don't bother spending weeks on a ROQ decoder, nobody will use it

I guess it depends on how nice is your JagCD player, if it read cd very well, then you won't have interrupted movie. (like me) else, if it is a bit picky on the cd-r, then ...

I wish I had one (even, one without the "well endowed" thing) For the anecdote, the girl was "nude" at first (kind of logic when she is inside a "water tank") but then some people told me it was kind of shocking ! so I tried to find another woman 3D model (I did not designed her myself), and the only "dressed" one I found, and good looking, was "well endowed", I'm not particularly fond of this, but well... I heard a lots of guys are into it

So, I got the new Yopaz CDs today, I burned them all, and I tested each of them individually on my JagCD using a method to reproduce the booting bug issue of the first release. Each CD is booting and working great ! I packed them in bubble envelopes and sent everything to all the buyers this afternoon *phew* Yopaz is now available again to order on my website, only a few remaining (since I didn't replace all the CD, only 70% because all this replacement + shipping cost money )

yeah ... I hope you didn't get this from here: http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Elansar-Atari-Jaguar-Game-Plus-Philia-The-Sequel-Ultra-Rare-Cart-Cd-/321448466986?pt=UK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item4ad7d25a2a even if the cartridge game isn't available anymore, you can get both CD version for 5 time less this price

Yes Go for it !

ok after multiples test, I think I fixed the problem, I will produce new CD and will send them to people who ordered me Yopaz

well, in fact, the StopObject was in data segment before, and I moved it to BSS segment, so I call this code before the stopobject is initialised to dc.l 0,4 now depending on the data in this part of memory, the OP might trash some memory and that's why it won't start. now, I'm really wondering why this always worked on my jaguar... I will try to make new disk with this problem fixed

ok so, I got my fixed Jaguar today and I could do some test. It's not a CD problem as I thought (since the encryption test of the bios pass each time) It's just a nasty bug in my program, I just don't understand because I never had it before. It seems that when I clear the entire memory, the program might not boot (sometimes it does !) But it's really a random behavior. So, here is a little fix you can try: Put your Memory Track cartridge in the JagCD slot with the Yopaz in the CD tray. Start your jaguar while holding the "option" button, so it will start the Memory Track manager Once you are on the Memory track manager screen, shut down your Jaguar, and quickly start it again. Yopaz might boot now ... I hope this will fix the issue, I'm really sorry about that. Else you can try booting with a game cartridge, shut down the jaguar, remove the cartridge and start it again. Please let me now if it fix the issue, thank you. For the tech people, the only difference at boot between Yopaz and Elansar/Philia, is this little routine I'm calling, and I used this one a lot before, and it always worked so ... clr.w NextOPlistSize clr.w CurOPlistSize move.l #StopObject,d0 swap d0 move.l d0,OLP

the video should play at the given FPS no matter the Hz of the screen

Also, about Elansar video problem, I once had this "freeze" during development, and it was a too high bitrate, the CD couldn't keep with the speed. So I lowered the bitrate, but since the camera in the video is moving a lot, and the island is very detailed, the video stream contains a lot of data, so the JagCD must really don't have any read error, else it will freeze to sync to another part of the video later. The only other video is the Ending video. About the image quality, it's difficult to see those on a small CRT screen, since the cartridge version is using JPEG like compression, you almost won't notice the difference. The CD version use full raw data, with a nice 16bits dithering on color gradients such as the sky, (where as the cartridge version was flat and blocky on the color gradients) About the easter egg, it's a new addition to the CD version (the cartridge version don't have it to save rom space) It's a reference to the classic point & click game Monkey Island 1

If found this video on a german forum, prooving that Yopaz is working: So it's not a mastering problem, or a data problem. My Jaguar is fixed (thanks to a friend of mine), it will come back to my home next week, then I will start to test All my remaining Yopaz CD. Two possible scenario: -Some CD won't boot on my JagCD, so I will keep only the ones that boot correctly and send these to people with defective Yopaz CD. -All the CDs will boot correctly on my JagCD, and then I just can't say if my JagCD is super tolerent, or if all your JagCD units are not cool with me, or a bios problem ? or murphy's playing with my nerves, idk.. In any case, CD-R for JagCD is a no ! I even wonder If I will ever try to make another game with pressed CD. I might, but this adventure has really put me off.

It will start the Atari ST emulator. just kidding, it stand for SetTrue, and is a byte operation, so it will set a $FF (255) in the destination operand.

TO ALL THE PEOPLE HAVING LOADING PROBLEM WITH YOPAZ, PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL WITH YOUR REAL NAME, (and postal address) So I can send you another copy of Yopaz as soon as I can. because I can't correlate your nickname on this forum and your real name. Thank you

That is reassuring, thank you. I will need to test each CD before sending them.

the thing is, both Elansar and Yopaz are Burned CD-R, from the same factory, with the same CD-R disc. Elansar is working, Yopaz is not... (except on my JagCD) so I'm a bit confused here.

It seems like a lots of people are getting this problem with Yopaz. Unfortunately my Jaguar is not working for the moment so I can't test on my side. I'm trying to get a new Jaguar as fast as possible so I can test a Yopaz CD that is working, then I will send you a new one. I'm really sorry about this problem, the Jaguar CD seems really sensitive and not as reliable as a cartridge game. The problem is really strange because, the Jaguar CD bios is doing a data checking of the CD at boot, and only boot if the data are correct. So if you get past the JagCD boot animation, then it means that the data on the CD are correct and readable. So I really don't understand why the game won't start because it was working fine on my Jaguar...

Isgoed > the mouse support has been dropped in the CD version sorry :/ Jungsi > You will have to buy the 2 separately, also, sending 2 games in one package cost me the same price than posting 2 separate envelopes, so I cannot do shipping reduction, sorry. Making a "basket" shop system is too complicated for the small amount of stuff I have to sell.

Elansar is now available for the Jaguar CD with improved graphics and full motion videos ! Also, a new puzzle game is available too, Yopaz IceStar, the sequel to Diamjag, with 3 worlds, 40 levels, new interactors and level design, local highscores, and a built-in level editor with backup option on MemoryTrack ! If you are interested, Please visit my website's shop: http://onorisoft.free.fr/retroshop/index.html US residents can try this US store (the games will be available in the next days): http://console5.com/store/software/atari-games/atari-jaguar-cd-games.html

maybe because they are selling cartridge games at higher price

I know SebRMV personally and I meant that "we" (he and I) discussed about a CD port at least one year before the cartridge release, and we came to the conclusion that it was not really feasible.
