@@blainelocklair thank you for your kindness and friendship. We've had our difficulties lately but things are surely getting better. My prayers for your family as well.🙏
I remember! I was a store manager at Babbage's (now GameStop) back in '94 when it was on the retail shelves. I'll just say it wasn't a super seller. But man, oh man, playing T2K and AvP were a blast.
@@blainelocklairdid you look up atari vs sega 1994 to 1996 lawsuits, sega was to give jaguar 10 games except virtua racing and virtua fighter, some 32bit and 16 bit games...a virtua fighter vs fight4life game was gonna be made though...idk if lawsuit rules are indefinite
@@blainelocklair yup, and the jag cd didn't offer any upgrades to system it simply was just a cd pass-through in fact motorcycle game on jaguar cart or should i say jag sound chip had even better audio of 48000hz compare to 41000hz of a cd
Yes, they can be pricey. BION, I was able to get that exact Jag in the video for $100 in 2022. It was sold with a power supply that had been chewed by a pet cat. Bought a Trico branded power supply, plugged it all in, and it fired right up. There are absolutely some deals on the Jag still out there. :)
hey blane, i've been following your content for a long time, it's the best channel regarding jailbreaks and such, and you used to be more animated in presenting the content, what's up buddy? cheers up
Thanks for being a part of the journey! Nothing's wrong with me, I just changed up the way I present to better reflect "the real me" you'd meet in everyday life. I think RUclips, and a lot of the creators on it, all kind of became part of the "Mr. Beastification" of the platform. You know, the wide open, full volume presentation style. I think there's so much more value in authenticity instead, so the me you see and hear now is the same me you'd meet in person. That's always the best way, I think - the authentic person rather than the commercial one, so to speak.
Nice! Yes, so many great games and content to enjoy on the Jag these days. I think if I'd put all of my faves in there, you'd still be watching the video because it would have been feature-length. :)

Ultimately, no Sega games ever made it to the Jaguar, but Atari did show interest. Sega sent a list of games available for licensing and, as you'll see in the memos posted below, eventually did approve a few. There was some speculation in the press that Virtua Fighter and Daytona could turn up on the Jag, but these were apparently off the table. Instead, Atari received a catalog of 8- and 16-bit games that also didn't include Sonic or Ecco. The list also notes if royalties would be owed to or need to be negotiated with a third party, usually outside developers, many of which are covered on this site.
I know, right? Goes back decades, that practice. Remember when "Pac-Man" was called "Puck-Man" in Japan? They were worried kids would vandalize the "P" on "Puck-Man". They were probably right. 🤣
Jag definitely had some system architecture issues. It wasn't just because developers were more familiar with the 68000 that they often used it to run games instead of the far more powerful Tom & Jerry chips, the flawed memory controller on Tom could cause program execution to come to a complete halt if you didn't carefully code around the falt. The UART was also quite buggy.

I know, right? Crazy cool. I don't see Towers II on the list yet. RUclips can be - fickle - about posting direct links. But there's a running list of them on AtariAge, and I'll be if you search for "AtariAge Jaguar Atari ST Ports List", you'll see 'em. :)
Too late. 🤣 But don't worry; I think you'll be glad you did, especially when you become a part of the amazing group of people surrounding it in the homebrew community.
I always wanted a Jaguar since i got my 8bit Atari 800XL and then got and still own an Atari ST(e) with 4MB(!!!) of Ram. 😁 But here in germany it costs way over 550 euros if you even get one, so it will just be in my dreams forever i guess...🤥😮💨 Oh, THX for the Infos btw.
It's so funny that I never really knew anything about this system, but recently got into playing Neo Geo games and remembered this was a thing and it's amazing that anyone is even still talking about the Jaguar since I never hear about it.
Saying this as a collector with a nearly complete Jag and CD library (all purchased new at launch or during the 1996 clearance): Im still looking for a reason to wake my Jag from its LONG hibernation...and im still not seeing one. The Jag2HD i preordered back in July just showed up last week BUT it was purchased as a gift for a friend so: "In my closet, my darkened closet, the Jaguar sleeps tonight"
Sadly I have just got one of the cartridges my self and all I get is can not read memory card message. Defo going get a hdmi set up for it when I get this fixed
Interesting. I wonder if it's a symptom of the card itself. At least it's a cheap test to grab something like a 16GB microSD card and find out. The whole Jag library, and all those .JCD files, will fit on one. Oh, and the Jag2HD is awesome; your Jag will thank you for it. :)
@@blainelocklair thank you I have tried half a dozen different memory card of different brands and size and found one that works. Thank you kindly Warren
Finally! I knew a flashcart would come out eventually. That HDMI adapter thing looks very convenient too. Tapping into the ST games is also a great way to expand the Jags limited library
I thought about that, especially with that GLORIOUS visualizer from Jeff Minter. I don't know if it will, but I don't think it's natively in there since the JagGS is a content loader. But man, that visualizer is incredible, even today.
@@blainelocklair That'd be cool if you could emulate that . Maybe Jeff could make a plug-in . I had the add-on and it worked great , just no software for it .
I think it has something to do with the Elgato 4K60 Pro recorder. There's no way that a recorder, designed to take in an HDMI signal, record it, then pass it along to a display, should give a rip what display is connected to it. But it does. Over the four years or so I've been recording with it, those Windows outcomes have always varied a bit depending on the display connected to it. I've used TN, IPS, LED TV, and now ASUS 42" OLED displays. In each of those instances, the recording outcome varied, even if the same PC with the same color settings was connected and recored. Perplexing. Might be time to update/upgrade the recorder.
Because Jaguar games run in 240p and an integer upscale of 3 times gives you 720p (every 1x1 pixel upscales to a 3x3 pixel). Upscaling 240p to 1080p requires a NON-integer upscale of 4.5 times, which creates uneven pixel upscaling (some 1x1 pixels upscale to 4x4 pixels and some 1x1 pixels upscale to 5x5 pixels) and causes shimmering when the screen scrolls.
I don't know. It looks really great though, especially in person on one of those awesome OLED monitors. I use an ASUS 42" OLED for recording, and it's something to behold.
I don't think so, at least not yet. Know what's really cool, though? There are dedicated music albums for the Jag that people have written and put on cartridges. They play in real time on the Jag as dedicated music albums. Stone Age Gamer has at least one of them in their store. Very cool stuff.

@@grimTales1 it's a little bit harder to get good video out of a N64. With hardware modification, the best you can get out of it is S-Video.
