OBLIVION23 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Maybe this has already been brought up but ive seen videos online of a FPS Doom clone on the Falcon called "Running" that i would love to see ported over, and would totally pay for a cart of. I never had a Falcon and with the price of them these days i doubt i ever will Edited April 18, 2018 by OBLIVION23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+af0l Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Falcon >>> Jaguar Great. Since Falcon is only 32 bit and has one DSP, a Jaguar wit 64 bit powa and 2 DSPs can do this in stereo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my Jaguar seem to be missing a DSP!! they all only have one! I've clearly been ripped off! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've clearly been ripped off! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Jaguar "Jerry" Chip, 26.59 MHzDigital Signal Processor – 32-bit RISC architecture, 8 KB internal cacheSimilar RISC core as the GPU, additional instructions intended for audio operations You have it, you just didn't know it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Well: One is a piece of Atari hardware that had pretty much zero support from Atari, shipped with next to zero useful software, a DSP that is severely crippled by it's I/O, and didn't ship with enough RAM. And the other one is a Jaguar. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkoVitch Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Jaguar You have it, you just didn't know it Thinking back, I am sure I have written at least SOME of those tech lines on that WikiPage GPU != DSP It has a similar core architecture, that's it.. it's NOT the same, it lacks the more DSP like instructions that the DSP core has. It also isn't directly connected to the I2C bus, has less memory for buffers and code (even the "DSP" in the Jag has way too little RAM, IIRC the Falcon DSP has 64KB of RAM in it's DSP (and is a proper DSP) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 IIRC the Falcon DSP has 64KB of RAM in it's DSP (and is a proper DSP) 96k, with a slow 8bit bus connecting it. Atari love putting a bottleneck on their processors 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+af0l Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 GPU != DSP And MC68030 != MC68000 ? And here I thought they were all the same... Have to read up on the subject some more. Seriously, is it possible that you missed the obviouos joke in the "2 DSP" or are you just pulling my leg? It had to be a joke it had "powa" and everything in it...

leech Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Ha, My Falcon is certainly grater than my Jaguar. But then it has a CT60e and a SuperVidel in it. You know, how the Falcon should have been had A) Atari stayed in business for 3-4 more years and B) if they'd actually supported the Falcon... well at all. Atari if anything always had some serious potential, but were seemingly always late to the game (at least after the 2600 days). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost the direct opposite of Checkered Flag. Fast, Smooth, Slick. But still the same in many ways, ie, utterly uncontrollable RVF Honda, on the other hand..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stage_1_Boss Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 If anything, this release has got me attempting to piece this Skunk thing together. Downloaded a package from Harmlesslion, unzipped and read some stuff, gonna need to locate me a cable that will reach from desk to PC tower before I can install drivers and fire up that prompt though lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arvidd Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Not exactly an idea for a port, but the 2018 FIFA World Cup is only a few weeks away now. Is it possible for someone to update the Sensible Soccer version on the Jaguar with the teams for the 2018 World Cup? That would be an awesome thing to play when the real World Cup gets started.
