Can someone post what sd card they are using that works? I have tried two different ones and am just getting a black screen after the Atari logo. No errors, just the black screen. Reformatting the sd card doesn't make a difference.

 

Thanks,

Mitch

Another version to try for the older carts --

 

https://www.retrohq.co.uk/products/jaggd/............zip

 

** REMOVED ** I'm happy this is working and it's only confusing matters. If you have the "Press OPTION for firmware update." while booting, THEN DO THIS.

 

I've tested this and it's working on my downgraded dev cart, so it should be good for everyone now. But if I could have confirmation before I start shouting about it, please!

 

** Anyone who tested the previous version, please rename to firmware.ovr as it will not update the microcontroller firmware correctly without this change. Anyone installing from a regular previous firmware, just use as is **

Just wanted to say this worked perfect for me and was able to get the couple games I tried to boot!

I grabbed it before you took it down, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet, will do tonight.

Can anyone please advise on which tool will properly create a usable image for cd2jcd? I've tried IMGBURN, DiscJuggler and CloneCD. None of them produce an image that can be converted to JCD. Please help

 

ImgBurn should have no problem making a cue and bin for Jaguar cds.  You want to click on create image file from disc, then you want to create a bin file from that.  It will create a cue with it, and the cue file is the one you want to drag and drop on cd2jcd.  I don't know if there's something different you have to do with Jag cds, as I don't own any actual jag cds to try.  This will get you a cue and bin file though that are formats that work with cd2jcd.

Thanks for trying this -- there's definitely an issue somewhere. I'll downgrade my dev cart back to 2018 and see where the problem is! I'll try and get a fix out in the next day or two.

 

Thanks SainT! Hopefully its nothing too crazy or stressful to fix! I'm pretty sure I did the Firmware 200522 update in the past, and just didn't check to see if the menu had updated there either.

This was the issue that was coming up before, it wont run unless the menu is updated -- it has no idea what JCD's are.

 

Ok, will have to dig into this properly. One thing to try is put the upd on a freshly formatted memory card and rename it firmware.ovr, see if that does it.

 

There's something really odd going on where the firmware and asic are updating ok, but not the menu.

 

 

Ok tried this, and no luck.  I saw it did do its update procedure (the last thing it does is saying updating asic and then it restarts) but the Menu is still v1.05.

There's no problem everything being on one card, you can most likely just copy JCD's onto your existing card as well. It's only if it's fragmented you will get issues, however you will get an error in the launcher if this is the case.

 

I'm just sorting the update for the older carts, I had someone have an issue updating with an older cart, so I wanted to get to the bottom of that first. No point releasing something if it could cause problems for people.

 

Actually, for those feeling adventurous, try this update and let me know how you get on --
http://retrohq.co.uk/products/jaggd/firmware-210413.zip

 

To be clear, this is for the older carts with no "Press OPTION for firmware update" prompt on boot, it is of no use to later carts.

 

 

So I gave this a try and it updated, everything to the version you have listed in the readme, except for the menu which still says its v1.05. 

I converted some cd images from the redump using the toolset, and I formatted my SD card and recopied everything over.  When trying to launch any of the cd games nothing happens.  I tried launching a regular game and it has been at the loading rom screen with no progress for 10 minutes or so now.   

 

*Edit*

 

A reboot has it launching regular games again, but it still just shows the Menu at V1.05 and no luck with CD games.

When converting the files, do you just convert the cue file, or does each individual bin need to be converted as well?

I managed to get in at the number 6 position, very excited for this! 

[ColecoPlug (Colecovision USB power supply) can be preordered!]

I ordered this USB-C power plug and I'm just wondering if this will work with the colecoplug. I probably should have asked before I ordered it, but Anker seems to be known for quality USB C stuff. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y427WT7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

According to the tracking my ColecoPlug should be here any day, and I am super excited for it. It's going to be fantastic to not have to use that giant power supply any more!

I'm super excited for this project. I love my NeoGeo Pocket flash cart from SainT, and even more excited for this one. First thing I did was sign up for update notifications for this thread.
