Wow, that would be so awesome! Maybe you can see if you friend would be interested in porting it to the Jaguar. I know in recently years we have been graced by quite a few ST ports to the Jaguar due to the similar architecture of the 2 platforms.

awbacon Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 While finishing up my CPS 2 stuff I kept thinking the Jag could have gotten a halfway decent port of a few of these. Sure the Saturn needed the 4MB ram cart to run some, but stuff like the D&D games I feel could have run on the Jaguar with little issue. So sad third party support was thin from big companies like Capcom. Even if they just hired third parties to do the ports, it couldnt have been that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Rosa Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) One of the Dungeons & Dragons title required the 4MB cart though. Why not Street Fighter Zero 2, or Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo? Would be like a middle-finger to both Super Nintendo and 3DO.

I think it's been mentioned but the Jag could run CD and cartridge in tandem. X-Men vs street fighter would be awesome on cartridge for the loads. Like how morphs suck on mk CD ports vs cart.

I've heard conflicting reports on CD conversions of Mortal Kombat II. Some go back and forth over 32X and Saturn being best, though I've only ever played 32X and Super NES. Are the load times the main issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Men vs street fighter got around the loading issue for character swaps with four Meg ram cart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would definitively fill that genre well by adding this to the Jaguar's library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering its similarity to Dragon Breed and R-Type, though, I think there's a slim chance of CJ doing a port of it.

I'd like to see Sega Mega Drive/Genesis games ported. They tend to be better than the ST(e) and Amiga versions. Now if CJ could clone himself but instruct his clone to become a Sega whisperer. And a second clone to do the same for Sharp X68000 titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantgames:) Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I think a port of Flimbo's Quest would have been cool, as far as I know it never came to any game consoles only computers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awbacon Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Played this on the Master System, but it would have made a great port to the Lynx. Even the Jaguar with some enhanced graphics. Super fun game that I only ever encountered this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awbacon Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 i really wish Atari had released this on the Jag CD. Or even as a cart without the enhanced audio they had planned. It would have had a much larger audience than just being on the Lynx. have any lynx to jaguar conversions ever been done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the Atari ST, the Lynx doesn't use the same CPU as the Jaguar, so it would require complete emulation. The graphics would need to be redone as well, because they would look coarse on a big screen (the resolution is only about half of what most Jag games use).

awbacon Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Would it have killed Konami to give Jaguar owners an entry in the Castlevania series. Obv this came out in 2001 but a straight port of the X68000 version to Jaguar should have been feasible. If it can do Bubsy, it can do Castlevania ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awbacon Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 I doubt Jag could pull something with this many polygons off, but do these types of demos exist on Jaguar? I’ve never really seen 3D Model demos on the platform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard of this game before. I love the look of it. Despite the pedestrian pacing/frame rate, I feel like this would have been well beyond the Jaguar's capabilities as anything other than a heavily cut-down port. I feel like there are a lot more 3D calculations going on here than perhaps we might want to give it credit for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never really seen 3D Model demos on the platform The 3DO M2 was a step beyond Saturn, PS1, and even the N64 in many ways, so it's definitely a lot to ask of a system that was technologically behind even those platforms to pull something like that off. Do you remember the PS1 demo disc that came packed with various launch PS1's? It had this cool controllable dinosaur model with texture-mapping: We never did see that level of detail in-game, obviously, but it was still cool. This is probably the closest equivalent to date (maybe? At least that I've seen) for the Jaguar on a textured 3D demo without game logic: Certainly impressive in its own way, especially for a system not designed for 3D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
