MegaManFan Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 But one I've been pondering anyway since Jags are so often networked together for games like Battlesphere... Has anybody ever taken a Jaguar online? Or surfed the web with one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Moss Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 AFAIK there is no Jag software for doing so although IIRC Atari did do trails with the voice modem for downloading games from a central server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is good to know. Well, there is of course Ultra Vortek which can be played over a voice modem with another Jag with a voice modem. Aside from that, there is the Contiki port that was done... http://www.sics.se/~adam/contiki/ports/jaguar.html And used the ethernet card that Matthias was working on for a while. http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...150&hl=ethernet So some Jaguars have surfed the web a little. And back in the day Atari was working on a "Cortina" web TV adaptor... http://www.geocities.com/doctor_clu/cortina.jpg None of those have been known to work however. So Jaguar on network? Well, another fun thing to mention that a four-six Jag setup (which I have seen before) for a game of Battlesphere is a network. And a fun one too.

jaysmith2000 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) Don't forget the Web Cortina was built solely for that purpose and I have a collection of early beta software that used in conjunction with the Cortina allows you to go "online". Since there are only 2 known Cortinas out there (Scott Walters and I have them) there's not much use for it....yet....

philipj Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I wonder how far along the project has come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
