Awesome, thanks! Regarding rotary controller/mouse, the SW Arcade ST port works amazingly well with a mouse! It does use port 2 for it politely anyway though! Revenge of DOH with a spinner is a blast too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hastor Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) If you would benefit from component cables, highly recommend one of these along with an HD Retrovision SNES cable. Great pair with the JAG and Jag GD on my Trinitron crt tv with component inputs! Edited January 10, 2021 by Hastor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just my camera doesn't sync well with the old 60hz tube TV for pictures. Plus shrinking the image in MS paint only does raw point-sampling or something so makes stuff look bad. Also do you have your console sitting on top of a Macintosh LCII or something ? Edited January 10, 2021 by zezba9000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine does the same with component cables unless I mess with my phone's exposure rate for a long time. It was just a side note for anyone that might not know these became recently available and will be looking at a lot of stuff on their GD, and might wanna give it a try!

Hastor Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, leech said: Got a link to those? https://www.heldergametech.com/shop/jaguar/jag2snes/ I have an older one also, made by someone else, housed in an N64 RF adapter shell. That one has a switch to disable power for self powered devices, as it could cause issues on some converters that didn't need power from the snes port. Also I've heard that some fancy Trinitron PVM type screens get some lines on the older one, not sure if that's true on this newer one. Both are great on my Trinitron consumer TV. This one always supplies power and will work with most stuff. Perfect for HD Retrovision SNES cables. Both adapters work the same for me, just be aware of possible caveats. New one is definitely prettier and few things need the power disabled anyway. These should allow any snes cable including composite etc to work, but were made primarily with component/rgb in mind. Here's the older one, no longer made, by someone that did small batches on Twitter, and was already done making them, and is glad someone else took over. Note this was the SNES2JAG but the one currently being offered is a new design by someone else called the JAG2SNES. This one shown below was also available as GEN2JAG for Genesis component cables. Labels by me so I wouldn't forget how to use it in 10 years. Edited January 11, 2021 by Hastor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoia Dragon Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I think I registered to the Atari age waitlist twice. I think I did it a while back but I wasn't sure. So I did it again I think with the same email I used previously. When going through the list, I assume it'll go by the earliest time I was added to the list? Or does me and put on a list again push me back on the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy enough to just pop in the Tempest cart too. I'd still call it a feature request, but just because Tempest is a big title for the Jag. It works on port 1 with Rebooteroids I believe, but as far as I know, that's only been offered on a physical cartridge. The ST port of Star Wars Arcade is great with a mouse btw! Loving this cart! I'll be quiet for a bit now! I’m trying to follow your comment. Are you saying the spinner on works on port 2 for Tempest 2000 on the GD? I know it works perfectly on port 1 using the Tempest cartridge. I get sporatic movement with the spinner with the GD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 The was a comment on making the game menu of the cart accessible to people with a rotary controller in port 1 by using the number pad to move up and down through the menu. The controller in the game works fine as far as I am aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hastor Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) You can use a Spinner on Port 2 in Tempest but only for Player 2 I believe, so you can use two spinners... I'm playing with it on Port 1, and so far haven't had any issues, but only played for about 10 minutes. What kind of issue are you seeing? Glad to test. Does it happen constantly or off and on? If it isn't constant, I may have not played long enough, though I also wouldn't expect the GD to make a difference, but sounds like it does in your case. I've used spinner and mouse on port 2 for the ST ports that support them with the GD and no issues there. Have you tried another spinner game like Arkanoid for ST with it on port 2? Or just controlling Player 2 via spinner? Also, and this just occurred to me - you have to select Spinner as the controller for each player in the options menu. Mine is player 1 Spinner, player 2 D-pad. Did you perhaps not put in the code to enable spinner support, or not select it for Port 1? That would definitely give sporadic behavior if it is in D-pad mode. It saves the option to the cartridge so you only put the code in once, but if you put it in on your cart, you'll need to on the copy on your GD as well as it will have its own save file.
