    Meanwhile in 32X land they’re doing a whole lot more than this vaporware thing ever dreamed of. Poor old Jaguar.

    Eh, good for them, they got the short end of the stick in the 90's while the vanilla Jag version is still good.

  2. Ok so this one is more of a bug report than an issue and quite of an oddball, Mutant Penguin crashes during the game play demo in attract mode at random cycles and at no specific event/place. The display draws itself out with brief white rectangles where the sprites were.
    I've played 4 levels without any crashes so far tho so it seems to only be the attract mode but i haven't reached the demonstrated level tho.
    I've let the attract mode for 1 hour on the actual game cart without any crash. I've tested this issue because i've stumbled upon someone's post on Reddit mentioning it.

    "new" "tested"

    The cable has been unrolled and rerolled, so i guess it has been used a few. Also for this price you can have a Jag plus the RePro controller...:o

  4. Both my jags behave the same with CD games.
    -VidGrid freezes when loading title screen
    -Battlemorph has the same music glitch (which sounds actually cool lol it reminds me of synthesized robotic distortion sounds from vintage tech/futuristic shows). It also sometimes boots/doesn't boot...
    -World Tour Racing gives a black screen seconds around the start of the attract after giving me several iterations of the title screen when trying to access a menu(pushing buttons)
    It's on a brand new defragged Sandisk Extreme 32
    Idk if it's useful info or not, i may try a different SD card to see if results vary.?

    IIRC This is the time that the BIOS is checking the contents of the cart against it's digital signature.  The larger the game, the longer it takes as it reads every address on the cart.

    Ah makes sense! that was a decades old mystery to me.

  6. Yeah so i always wondered why some cartridges take longer to display the full logo intro from roar to end, like sometimes i'm waiting for the big ATARI letters to fall wondering if they are ever gonna show up?
    Pitfall and Defender 2000 are good examples in my case, anybody know what's up with that?

    On the fence about Pac-man Museum+ with the $29.99 asking price (it's out May 27). I understand Pac-man Plus not being in there, that's pretty obscure, but why can't Namco and Midway agree to put Ms. Pac-man and Jr. Pac in a collection like this? Do they really hate money that much?

    I just bought it on PS4 and the input lag in the games is awful, especially in Pac-Mania. I've seen similar complaints for Xbox and Switch. This is disappointing.

  8. When i modded my pal jag to go 60hz i wasn't aware of ESD, what would be the odds i damaged something? I used it quite a bit since then and only had twice the left button not register but maybe that was a dirty port?
    Edit: i also had "Attack of the Mutant Penguins" crash on me once with a still frame.

    You shouldn't need to.  I don't think there would be much of a benefit relative to storing them away from direct sunlight in a standard climate controlled environment, such as stashing them in a box in your closet if you're packing then away for a long time.

    Thanks!

  10. Sorry if the bump feels necro.
    I have the same issue but to a lesser extent (no more that one vertical line). It only shows one line at a time on mine.
    Cybermorph is the worst offender and it does this on both the 1993 and 1994 carts i have but stronger or even absent in some areas of the game/maps.
    AVP shows it too but at a different place of the screen and Doom only has a dot the stats bar and it doesn't move, just flickers or disappears.
    It does it on any screen and type of cable (RGB/official)
    I don't have a means to capture video and a screenshot would only show a few dots at a time.
    It does it on any screen. It's not that annoying in my case but still i'd like to fix it
    No Gamedrive nor Skunkboard to use the test but it reads a lot like what is not supposed to happen with the "white cry" test.

    I intent to test components for voltage soon but i'm no tech guy so i don't even know how to do it?

    I really hope it's something that can be fixed and not a faulty/damaged chip...
    It's my main jag atm and i modded it to 60hz (It did it before the mod)
    It's a french model [K13C006824]

    Quake, that was a great game back in the day. I have a copy of it for the Sega Saturn... and I was so impressed at how well it played on that system. The graphics were not the resolution you'd ideally want or otherwise have on a computer, but it ran really well without any slowing.

    Quake is still great. From what i've seen of the saturn port it's not the fastest but it sure looks amazing. It has better light effects than both pc(dos) and n64 in my opinion. The Dynamic lights are rudimentary but it has a cool middle ground between the pc's gritty look and the colored lights in one package. The port uses a different engine too so it went through a lot of work.
