I had it on gameboy back in the day. Fun but tough. Good for road trips in the back seat of your moms car.

I finally got around to ordering one of these. Cant wait to unleash the ultimate Jag power, my SNES and Genesis will no doubt be left laden with crimson clawmarks. It will be my first time playing Hoverstrike, IS2, and the CD games. Also I think the FPS games will especially feel better sitting on a couch with a legit controller.

Does WTR work to some extent or does it just not boot? I think one of the emulators is able to play it a little bit before it crashes.

NES has, but I think thats just because there was a point where it was considered the golden standard of retro when retro was a fad that transcended the generation that actually knew the games. Everyone who liked a youtuber who played retro games had to have an NES and some games. Now the fad is faded and is being replaced by pokemon cards which are the new hyperinflated items. Its still nowhere near as cheap as it was 10 years ago though.

Does Ctrl-Alt-Rees hang out on these boards? I wonder if he got WTR to work yet.

I guess they could the pad as 1. Kinda ironic they included it in an add called "do the math".

Interesting that Iron Soldier 2 CD is already running perfectly yet some other CD games are not. I thought that one would be the hardest to get working considering the original Iron Soldier is still a nut uncracked by the emulating community.

Imagine an enhanced version of Raiden optimized with CD quality audio. Maybe even an enhanced version of Ultra Vortek that matches the presentation of PS1 fighting games.

Think of all those guys listing JagCDs on ebay for 600 bucks, I dont think that will be tenable when the cats out of the bag so to speak.

Not that it would have saved the jag or anything, but it could have been cool. Sega basically dunked on Nintendo by having a cooler edgier mascot, and Atari could have done the same. Imagine if they made a game in the style of the Battletoads arcade but starring a character like this: They also could have gone with a sex appeal mascot: Remember that Sailor Moon was bursting into the mainstream at the time.

Just want to note that 3 months after Iron Soldier came out Sega released Metal Head on the 32X which is a mech game that is way better than Iron Soldier in every way except that the buildings dont break into cool rubble cubes when you shoot them. Though it would still cost you 280 on ebay if you didnt have a genesis or 32x.

It will be interesting to see if the price is affected by the development of mister stuff.

Those games look really amazing. It makes me wonder if Atari put all their efforts into a CD Jaguar from the start if it would have become successful.

Its interesting that the devs apparently had reservations about a cartridge version because of the Jags limitations, yet the Jag pulls off games like Cybermorph and Zero.

Is there a working ROM of this available? The videos of it on youtube look absolutely gorgeous. Much better than the SCD version.

Looking forward to this one. I wont be guy #1000 asking when its ready lol I remember back when AtariAge was going to release Tempest for 5200 I was always thinking about it, when it would come out. Eventually I got burnt out from it, gave up, and then stumbled upon the fact that it was released a year or 2 later. Its best to just let these things happen. Keep up the great work SainT ?

I was just thinking that this style of game would suit the system so well but I dont think Ive seen any like that on the system but I dont know the homebrew games very well. How cool would it be if there was "River Raid 2000" !!!

Ya I love it, both the tank levels and the flying ones.

I'm sure you're right, but I still find I-War much more visually appealing. Cybermorph is lacking in many ways but I find its speed very impressive. It makes it so easy to pick up and play.

I found out a friend of a friend of mine has a Jaguar. I asked if he wanted to hang out some time and game some Jag and he said yes. I then went looking around local retro game shops for Iron Soldier. Most had zero Jag games. Then I found this guy in a small shop that had exactly 1 Jag game, Iron Soldier shrinkwrapped CIB. I was expecting it to be 200 bucks or something dumb like that but it was actually 60 bucks. I couldnt believe it, told him to hold it for me and immediately drove there to pick it up. Got back from lunch break half an hour late and didnt even care. Tonight I finally played Iron Soldier. It plays and feels like a decent N64 game except every now and then you get those sprite based Doom style graphics on fireballs and stuff and it throws you off. Its makes it feel like its stuck between two generations, but of course when you consider this is 1993 hardware its basically a generation and a half ahead of the curve. Most 1st person mech games have an awkward feel to them and IS is no exception, although it feels 100x better than those Sega CD mech games but noticeably slower than the N64 ones. Also its pretty tough. I think next time I play it I will stop trying to win and just smash up the cities. Looking forward to picking up IS2 some time, just gonna enjoy this one for now though. Also I should add that while it is the most difficult to emulate, it is not the most technically impressive to the eye. Cybermorph is faster, I-war has a more detailed 3D world, and that Zero game with the rotating ship also outshines it.

I saw on a youtube video someone said most dead Jags are because people used the wrong power supplies and fried the internal components, so how can you tell if a power supply is safe? How common is it to find an original power supply? Edit: I just noticed the sticky thread, I blame the lack of coffee ?

Pitfall 3D from PS1 would be awesome but I get the feeling its maybe not realistic lol

Ive been playing Tube and its a lot of fun. It would be cool if someone made a Jag version of the 3D Pitfall game on PS1, or Tomb Raider for that matter.

Still, last update was 2017. I suspect the project is not on his radar atm. It would for sure be cool to see other options like MiSTer develop though.

Russian guy who made Phoenix, if you read this some time in the future, I will paypal you 50 bucks if you make IS work.
