DracIsBack #1077 Posted January 18, 2018 There really isn't that much more to check, but my ever shit health is really slowing me down currently. So sorry to hear this. Be well! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DracIsBack #1078 Posted January 18, 2018 I was going to sell my Jaguar a while ago, but this would absolutely make me keep it. Especially if it plays CD titles. Would love to go through Baldies again! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pink #1079 Posted January 18, 2018 Don't want to create a new topic for this, pardon my ignoranze but this flash cartridge on ebay, exactly what is it? Is it similar to the SD cart SainT is making or is it something completely different? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
callidus #1080 Posted January 18, 2018 SainT's is a cart that will accept an SD card that is filled with multiple ROM images. The one you are looking at on eBay (I assume you're looking at the one from Germany) is a cart that holds a single game ROM and then has to be re-flashed by connecting it to a PC in order to load a new game on to it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the explanation! My apologies, I forgot to post the link but it is indeed the ridiculously expensive one from Germany. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-Jaguar-official-Flash-Cartridge/382265545951?_trkparms=aid%3D777003%26algo%3DDISCL.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D48740%26meid%3D47f735260ecf4507ba6b83756a585402%26pid%3D100012%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D7%26sd%3D181985442393&_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985 Edited January 18, 2018 by Pink Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@ircular logic #1082 Posted January 20, 2018 I've just been testing everything I'd not tested before on the current PCB as a final check before getting new boards made. Handy I did, as I've just found the UART connections meant I couldn't send data back to the Jaguar, only receive. But I have data being received over UART now, which is cool. I have a few more things to test, like I2S, INT1 interrupts and JTAG, then I'm done. I've also made provision for an SPI WIFI module (ESP-12E) as well... There really isn't that much more to check, but my ever shit health is really slowing me down currently. Whats the plan for the wifi module!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FTP to copy games over to the memory card wirelessly Serial to IP, so you could play modem games over the internet (possibly!) Remote debugging for devs General internet access from Jaguar software (direct access to download games over the internet for example) You could even get it to communicate with the Amazon Echo service... lol.

waiwainl #1085 Posted February 7, 2018 WiFi sounds fun, but to be honest, not worth the extra money I would need to pay for it. Perhaps make it an option? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah, its completely optional. Like you, I don't believe 99% of people would care or want it. However, the extra money is about £2, so its not going to break the bank regardless! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jagosaurus #1087 Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) FTPing over a new homebrew game to the Jaguar... yeah, I need it The possibilities down the road for online multiplayer games would be fun. I wouldn't want to miss this for a few bucks. SainT, I know we mentioned EPROM saves are supported. No save states, correct? I know some of the Ever Drive products support this. Just curious.

Usually any 10ct component on the BOM will add £5 on the RRP 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SainT #1089 Posted February 7, 2018 SainT, I know we mentioned EPROM saves are supported. No save states, correct? I know some of the Ever Drive products support this. Just curious. Yeah, its not possible on the Jaguar to save game states as quite a few of the hardware registers are write only. So it's not actually possible to know what state the hardware is in... It may be possible to load save states from emulators, although if you cant then save again... not sure how useful this would be. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SainT #1090 Posted February 7, 2018 And a bit of an update. I've just ordered another PCB, hopefully this will be the final one. I've found and fixed as many issues as I can, so I'm now looking forward to getting the new PCB through and seeing if that fixes all the odd stability issues I had. Fingers crossed! 17 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n5x #1091 Posted February 7, 2018 I could use the wifi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jagosaurus #1092 Posted February 7, 2018 I'm perfectly fine with standard saves. Was just curious as I hadn't seen save states brought up. Good luck with the new board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
