+CyranoJ Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Ver 4.07 seems to have fixed the top border clipping issue! FANTASTIC work Shamus! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Assuming I didn't break anything else, r407 will be the official 2.0.2 release. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Great work on the emulator! I finally got around to trying version 2.0.1. This is not a complaint, just an informational post. My system is an AMD PhenomII X4 955 (64-bit quad core @ 3.21GHz) with 8GB RAM, Win7-64, and an NVidia GeForce GTX275 vid card. It stutters with audio on. I like the interface, especially the TV static when a cart is not inserted. Thanks for the continued work on the project. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Well, I am suitably impressed. I've always wanted to be able to play some of my favorite Jaguar games while travelling with my laptop. I just gave a few ROMs a try, and found that both Cybermorph and Atari Karts actually seem to run fine. That's the good news. The bad news is that with my 1.9 GHz Dual-core, the games run at maybe 40-50% of full speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 r407 is significantly quicker. On my 3Ghz Core2Duo I'm getting full speed in most things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrTypo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hello, r407 is indeed quicker (it is clearly noticeable in Checkered Flag and Cybermorph). Actually I wonder if it isn't a bit too fast. I'll check against a real Jaguar. However I noticed a regression vs VJ 2.0.1 final release: the HUD is Alien versus Predator is completely messed up. I grabbed the windows executable from http://reboot.atari.org/features/emu/emu.html Thanks for your hard work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) @DrTypo: Thanks for the heads up. Could you make a screenshot and post to show the problem? If anyone else has found any regressions, please, speak up! Also, if you know which version first shows the regression, that would be really useful information as well.

JagChris Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'm going to try this release. I got the Windows version and its update? from the link above. I'll see how it runs on mine. Question. On the two .exe's to download from the above mentioned site, how do I overwrite one with the other? Is it an auto install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrTypo Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Question. On the two .exe's to download from the above mentioned site, how do I overwrite one with the other? Is it an auto install? It's not an auto install. The .rar file at vj2_r346.rar contains the executable and a bunch of dll it needs. You just have to extract it to a folder of your choice. The second rar file vj2.rar contains only the newest executable. You can overwrite the executable from vj_r346.rar with this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atx4us Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Thank you very much for your continual development and support of VJ. Just tried out VirtualJaguar-r409. On my Win7 x64 system, the screen is flickering really badly. r407 does not flicker but Rayman game play occasionally freezes for a few seconds and then resume. Downfall doesn't seem to run at all.

+DrTypo Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hello, I quickly tried r409 on my system (Win7 x64). Like atx4us, I noticed that the screen is flickering. However Downfall is working. I didn't noticed any obvious change apart from that. By the way there is something I forgot to mention previously. On all version of VJ I tried (r2.0.0 final, r2.0.1 final, r407, r409) the sound playback frequency in Cybermorph seems to be about one octave too high compared to the game on an actual Jaguar.

Shamus Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yeah, sometimes experimental code will do strange things... r410 should fix the flickering at least. Will have to see what I can do about the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downfall works with every version of VJ I have (2.0.0 final, 2.0.1 final, r407, r409). I use it with PAL settings but it also works in NTSC. It works even with DSP disabled. It comes in a .j64 file. CRC32 is 544E7A01. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTypo Never mind - I found it in the "software" folder of the Virtual Jaguar 2.0.1 distribution and it is working! Thanks for helping me to look into this.

atx4us Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 r410 seems to have fixed the Win 7 screen flickering issue. Also, Rayman is playing OK now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrTypo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hello, I tried r410 and the sound playback is now at the correct frequency in Cybermorph! "Good Work!" Screen flickering is indeed gone. The HUD is still messed up in AvP. Anyway it's interesting to see the emulator evolving day to day... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thanks for the kind words. We know what the issue is in AvP, just not sure how to track down and fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atx4us Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) I'm still having trouble with running S/W on VJ. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing. I downloaded the "Project One" from Reboot's web site (link below) and the "PROJECT1.ROM" file would not run on VJ. Can someone please give me a hint how to get these files to work with VJ? Thanks. http://reboot.atari....es/PROJECT1.ROM Edited December 31, 2011 by atx4us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm still having trouble with running S/W on VJ. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing. VirtualJaguar requires all ROMs to be padded to the correct size (1mb, 2mb, 4mb) - the P1 rom is 'truncated' to the size of the binary. We'll have to update all the ROMs on the site with correctly padded images. In the meantime, fwiw, try this: PROJECT1.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
