etschuetz Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Okay, I know there are a couple emulators for the Jaguar out there, but none seem to work all to well. Any secrets, advice, etc? I have MESS 0.131 and ever rom I have ever tried just seems to NOT work. Frustrating. Now, granted, I have a small collection of a few Jag titles and a working cat. I do enjoy it. However, I wanna try out a few titles before I decide to go and invest in them for my collection. Argh, I need help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otaku Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I hate messing with emulation if i can buy the game I buy it and if I don't like it I sell it usually I break even sometimes I lose a bit thats my way of doing it though. Good luck with the emulation though-its never perfect and overall a pain in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 To my understanding, the Jaguar's fugly hardware causes problems on the emulation scene. I mean, seriously, we're just now getting into 64bit computers being common. But yeah, it's pretty crappy, to bad to, there's some games I'd like to take with me on there too.

etschuetz Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Well that does indeed suck. Ah well, I suppose I will just stick to actually buying games down the road. That problem is the difficulty in finding them, and not finding them over priced like on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbbert Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) I tried Project Tempest and it ran all the Jaguar roms I have here.. all 4 of them. Works really fast too. MESS 0.131 Jaguar emulation doesn't work at all, as you've discovered. MESS 0.132 will at least start, although the screen is only half as wide as should be, and most games crash or freeze. At least Alien vs Predator works. MESS also runs really slowly. You'd be better off with Project Tempest. I'm taking a look at MESS's innards now. Maybe it might run better in 0.133. Don't hold your breathe though, the Jaguar is quite a complex little beast. Edited June 22, 2009 by Robbbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I don't mess with them unless I need a screenshot. They're usually slow & buggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Project Tempest v0.95 does an okay job with some games. It's great for Tempest 2000 on your laptop, for example, but can't run Iron Soldier past the menu screens, and shows Super Burnout with a messed-up road surface that makes the game unplayable. It's too bad the developer stopped work on it five years ago; if he'd continued it'd probably be a pretty good effort by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
