Aside from the infinite props to Rich Whitehouse, mad respect to Mike Mika for allowing him to release the core as open source. I can’t wait until this gets rolled into Retroarch.
There's no source code release for legal reasons, just a stand-alone release seperate from the Atari 50 collection. Which is still pretty generous of Digital Eclipse to allow! But also it means don't expect a RetroArch core.
I bought a Jaguar at launch back in the day, Tempest and AVP are absolutely fantastic. And I still have the Tempest 2000 CD soundtrack! I like humongous fan of the alien and predator movies, it's too bad to hear that you're not into them. So I was beyond excited when AVP came out on Jaguar
I wish I was there for this stream. I feel Jeff missed some possible legit good games. Skyhammer, Power Drive Rally, Protector SE, and Super Burnout that I can think of.
I used the Russian emulator a lot and it's actually really good. The weird trick to run games on it is you need use a load the cartridge option first and then press a run button to play. Didn't have 100% compatibility, but most games ran fine.
First you go to war, then you go to the flowy red zone with sensual music and a feminine voice says yes over and over again with increasing intensity. Truly the first life simulator
Tempest X was modified from the Jaguar game specifically to avoid having to pay Jeff Minter royalties, IIRC. TxK was by Minter, and resulted in a bunch of legal argy-bargy with Atari until they got together and did an enhanced version for consoles as Tempest 4000.
Tempest X is different, but I wouldn't say it's more refined. The Saturn port is much much closer to the Jag original and about as close as you can get without playing the Jag version.
I think a really big "issue" with the Jaguar was that it had some amazing and underrated games for the time. But not really enough to be a must have console compared to the PS1 or the SNES. And that's a real shame because so many people overlooked games like AvP and Tempest 2000.
1:55 - 2:10 it's so nice to see someone being able to do what they enjoy. Jeff knows who he is and what he does and not feeling the need to cover something when you don't feel like. A side note. I appreciate how for years and years he always going back and playing older games/systems that didn't get the type instant gratification coverage that games do now. I wonder what streaming would have been like if the technology was there for it back in the day but all the games were the same. 'Hey guys the new Gauntlet just dropped! i got three friends with me, let's see what 's new in Gauntlet 2! Will it live up to the hype!'.
it would be nice if the emu had a way to show the keypad overlays so you know what each does. WIsh I had caught the livestream so I could shout out to try Hoverstrike, and Battlesphere. other games of note were Club Drive, Checkered Flag, Defender 2000, for some reason Bubsy and Rayman stick out in my head as one or both being unique to the jag in some way, as in a different or modded version from the other releases, not sure why. I'm pretty sure Iron SOldier 2 was for the Jag Cd. Really looking forward to some jag VR emulation. I saw Missile Command vr in the list of roms. it would be great if there was some way to collate all the stuff that was in development for it, like Dactyl Joust.
I doubt you'll go back and play it after this but if you map the strafe buttons (7 & 9) to the right and left bumper AvP feels a lot better to control.
Can someone explain how this emulator was created? As in why is this one so good when all of the attempts prior to this never were able to work like this?
Presumably because the author worked on it full-time as a paid contract instead of as an on-and-off hobbyist project, allowing more time to be devoted to dealing with the Jag's... eccentricities.
The Jaguar Doom isn't perfect, but considering pretty much every future port (until we start getting "perfect" ports around PS3/XB360 era) is based off it, it's probably THE most important port of the game.

@@TheKins aw nuts, I thought it was open source. Regardless, I'll take what I can get!
I think AvP benefited from the license, being a competent Jag game, and looking sick in magazine still photos.

All I can think about is plugging this into EmuVR and playing Vid Grid in VR like Nolan Bushnell goddamn intended.
Absolutely.
I had no idea this existed! Thanks a lot

2:06:30 "Oh... that's coo- I gotta go" for some reason that really made me laugh out loud. That is such a funny reaction.

Those poopalities were really something to behold, and someone needs to do a clean upload of that White Men Can't Jump menu theme
California Rain! My favorite few days a year
Chocolate Rain! Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Would love to see Jeff dig into some of the weird late stuff like skyhammer and battlesphere
Ultra Vortek seems to be running kinda slow... But that's off my memory from visiting that Jaguar Kiosk at Twin Peaks Mall.
woo got here while it's still just 360p
Tempest X on PS1 was a refined version of Tempest 2000. Then TxK on Vita was similar but refined again...
Tempest X was modified from the Jaguar game specifically to avoid having to pay Jeff Minter royalties, IIRC.
TxK was by Minter, and resulted in a bunch of legal argy-bargy with Atari until they got together and did an enhanced version for consoles as Tempest 4000.

Well I've always been interested in Jaguar emulation and now I see there is absolutely nothing of interest to play anyway. Thanks Jeffrey.
1:55 - 2:10 it's so nice to see someone being able to do what they enjoy. Jeff knows who he is and what he does and not feeling the need to cover something when you don't feel like.
A side note. I appreciate how for years and years he always going back and playing older games/systems that didn't get the type instant gratification coverage that games do now.

A new Jaguar emulator is a million times more interesting than more marvel. I couldn't be less interested in that crap
Jeff, the Jaguar GameDrive plays Jag CD games just sayin. Also check out the Jag AIO+ for crisp RGB and S Video out, plus JagNet support.
Jaguar sound chip could do a lot of pcm channels and some dsp effects IIRC...
ty grandpa anus 🙏

It actually does have the option to show the keypad overlays on the controller. The dev shows it in his tutorial video on RUclips.
I doubt you'll go back and play it after this but if you map the strafe buttons (7 & 9) to the right and left bumper AvP feels a lot better to control.
For Jaguar, I remember playing Tempest 2000, Alien vs Predtor, Doom, Wolfenstein. I think I played other games but they are less memorable I guess....
Jeff looking a bit like Todd Tuckey in this? I wonder if they're related somehow... ;D
hi jeff

Lack of interest from anyone who had the talent and time. Jaguar was never popular enough for the right person to put in the effort.
I’m also guessing they may have had direct access to the original code and documentation?
@@steve43ful According to the dev, he just went off what public info there was.
50% of moves in Kasumi Ninja go right through the opponent without doing damage.
The real trick is to do nothing but jumpkicks.

I remember reading that there was an off-map enemy in one of the levels that you could hear but not kill.
@@onikaze8445 Your comment just jogged some cobwebs out of my skull. Pretty sure I’ve read/seen something about that very fact.
