Shamus Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Dunno, haven't looked at any TBH other the fractal terrain ones that someone else posted. Assuming they don't work because they expose bugs in the emulation (vs. bad file format--fix your file plz kthxbye), we'll get around to figuring out why they don't work. BTW, new win32 build is up (vj-20120717.zip) which corrects the configure dialog crash. Side note: There will be no more vj-r###.zip builds now that we're using GIT. There is no concept of revision numbers there, so we have to use the date of the last commit for bleeding-edge builds (official releases will still use the conventional numbering scheme--2.1.0 being next). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo99 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Side note: Official SVN builds like these require no DLLs; they're pretty much self-contained. If you use these builds, you can safely nuke any DLLs in your VJ installation directory. Read this and removed all the DLL files from the vj install folder (except sdl.dll as I figure that's a must on Windows7) and I got dll errors. Namely: libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll mingwm10.dll QtCore4.dll QtGui4.dll QtOpenGL4.dll and indeed I do need to have sdl.dll in the install folder It might be a mingw32 or Windows7 issue, but I do need to have those files in the VJ folder. At least on the svn and GiT builds I have done. Ricardo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 If you're building it on your own machine that way, then you're going to need those DLLs. If you downloaded an exe from here, then you won't need any DLLs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomjscott Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Any chance that this would run on Windows 98? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Nope, it doesn't, because it uses Qt which no longer supports Win9x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjscott Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks for the information. I'm now trying to get Project tempest working instead. It seems to be supported on Windows 98. If I can just get the right sound card drivers installed, I should be set to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Is there a reason why you are using such an old OS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjscott Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm using it to do some hobby programming on various old console systems and a lot of the emulators and tools for various systems just won't run on Windows 7 64 bit. Plus some of the programs that I'm using to develop my own tools for only work on Windows XP or earlier. For example, I have an old version of Borland C++ Builder that just won't run on anything past XP. And I don't have a Windows XP upgrade disk to upgrade this particular machine or I'd at least upgrade to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using Windows 7 Professional or better you can try "Windows 7 - XP Mode" which is essentially Windows XP running under Windows 7 in a virtual machine.

MathUser Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I just downloaded the emulator and look forward to trying it. Kinda wish there was a Wii release too but I'll just try it on PC. Is this emulator still being actively worked on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrVideo Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Cart Cover Art As a longtime Atarian I have had every Atari system ever made including the Atari 1200 XL I like what is being done with Virtual Jaguar. I'm new to the forum and was wondering if I can add my own cartridge scans to the software folder? How would I link the .png file. I'm using the Mac OSX version.

Shamus Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 The scan goes into a zip file with the cart image. If you look at the Downfall zip file, you'll get the idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrVideo Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I just got through un-zipping the files so that the emulator could read them. And do the .pngs have to be exactly 365X168 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3-rg Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I just got through un-zipping the files so that the emulator could read them. I thought VJ worked with the ZIPs? Don't you just add your image file to the archive? Am I misunderstanding?! (probably!) And do the .pngs have to be exactly 365X168 ? Experiment!

Shamus Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Under the built in documentation (Help | Contents) you will find: For The Curious If you’re wondering why some cartridges have labels in the “Insert Cartridge...” dialog and some don’t, read on... Virtual Jaguar looks at your ZIP file as a container—if it finds what it expects in the ZIP, it will use it. For example, label images: If you put an image file of a cartridge label in the ZIP file with your ROM image, Virtual Jaguar will use that image in the “Insert Cartridge...” dialog—assuming it’s a valid image file. The image should be 365 x 168 for it to show up on the big cartridge image without any scaling; any bigger is just a waste of space and Virtual Jaguar will scale it down to 365 x 168 anyway. Using the ZIP file as a container this way opens up some exciting possibilities: Box art, overlays and documentation can be included and future versions of Virtual Jaguar will be able to utilize them. HTH! Edited January 18, 2014 by Shamus 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggn Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 365x168 is actually a requirement from the Qt framework, if you use a different sized bitmap then the library will flip out and proceed into executing GPU code in main, therefore imploding the emulator's running process. Now, if Shamus were to switch to libretro though..... NONE OF THAT WOULD HAPPEN!!!11111 (yep, internal jokes for Shamus mostly, sorry about the noise ) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
