RetrousJag64 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Like many of us, I have really been enjoying all the ST ports that have come our way and the quality of the conversions by CyranoJ have been superb. I for one particularly appreciate the quality of the cartridges, boxes and manuals produced by Gaztee! I wondered, other than the 21 games listed as either completed or work in progress, if there's plans to port others not currently listed? Personally, I'd be chomping at the bit to get boxed copies of Batman The Movie (especially with another anniversary on the cards), Parasol Stars and Lemmings. What are the chances of any of these being considered as port conversions? Thanks and keep up the fantastic work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being very excited when I first got my Jag with the potential of the Motorola DSP chip in the Jaguar as I imagined doing allsorts of sound processing a la Falcon opening up the Jag's multimedia capability. Making realtime effects and things. Still not got very far and I have read that the Jag DSP is a little different to the Falcon anyway. Adding MIDI ports sounds fascinating, would it be possible to create a synthesizer with a reasonable amount of individuality and control it with MIDI?

+CyranoJ Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 For the handful of games that use midi but not GEM AES it isn't worth it, especially for the 2 people who might be bothered to try it. May as well make a falcon game at that point lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would work well on the Jaguar, particularly in co-op mode. yes The Chaos Engine is a great game, perhaps the best game the Bitmap Brothers ever made 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerosquare Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 No, you need to have a Skunkboard as well. Figuring out how to plug in both carts at the same time is left as an exercise to the reader. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Har har har. I haven't seen one in years, and assumed if it was some kind of add-on to the MB rather than simply a flashable cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str0m Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hi, do any of the ones available to download in the thread, Badlands etc work on the SD cart?

It seems with most of the Atari ST games we're getting a few benefits that weren't available in their original form as well. At the very least, getting to use the multi-button JagPads on the Jaguar with the ports is a huge plus since very few - if any - ST games have been modded to support the ST Power Pads/JagPads when used on an Atari STe or Falcon030...unfortunately. There's been a lot of work in that scene over the years to get various games to work with different versions of TOS, with different memory configurations and CPUs, with different monitors [monochrome], on ST systems [STe, TT, Falcon030, etc] that the games didn't previously work on, and installing on hard drives, but adding support for the JagPads has been a huge disappointment there.

Sure, the rights are an issue, and one could argue that using the JagLink or CatBox/ScatBox Network makes it unnecessary but having a MIDI adapter and that game would mean the Jag could theoretically be included in a MIDI MAZE ring with STs and Atari 8-bits. There seems to be a revival of interest on YouTube for proving 16 GameBoys can be connected with adapters to play the licensed non-Atari platform adaptation FaceBall 2000 in a ring. Personally, I find it amusing FaceBall 2000 runs so clunky on a 1989 Nintendo GameBoy than MIDI Maze does on an Atari 8-bit computer/XEGS whose chipset primary comes from 1978/79, but I digress.

Like many consoles of the era, the display is tile-based on the Gameboy. Which is exactly the kind of display you don't want to run a 3D FPS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master System game is horrible, which is a shame because the SMS port of the original Shinobi is the best version of the game to this day. Shadow Dancer: Secret of Shinobi is an entirely different game on Genesis. And it's a fantastic game. But so is the arcade original, and very few people have had a chance to play it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Amiga version of Shadow Dancer had some great music. It and ST version had that hold down fire button and direction of jump, issue to contend with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
