largefather Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Please count me in, if it's not too late. I have read the Jag was a bear to develop for and being a student I want to give it a go and see what the fuss was about. If everything works out I'm sure you can move these easily. Thanks for doing the impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorsten Günther Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Reboot claim that it's a myth that the Jag is hard to develop for, AFAIK most of the problems were based on the lack of proper documentation (esp. regarding GPU programming and a workaround for the GPU bug regarding main RAM access).

Documentation is important, but even MORE important is mature, bug-free tools. The 68000 compilers were fairly decent by then, but the lack of a decent JRISC compiler hurt. Even the very last compiler version in June 95 (well after the Jag was dead) had bugs. It's why nearly everything for the Jaguar is >95% assembly. Asking devs to do mostly assembly in the early to mid 90's was a significant hold-back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagChris Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Actually the Jaguar didn't die really until the end of 95. Documentation is important, but even MORE important is mature, bug-free tools.

Reboot claim that it's a myth that the Jag is hard to develop for, AFAIK most of the problems were based on the lack of proper documentation (esp. regarding GPU programming and a workaround for the GPU bug regarding main RAM access). I think what Reboot meant was its not hard to get started programming on the Jag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 It's not hard to get started. It's also not hard to code for. Jagchris - I thought Reboot killed the Jaguar scene (If you are talking about the decaying, non-release, overlord-ish scene, then if we did, good riddance! LOL) Please stop harping on about GPU in main, LOL. Actually the Jaguar didn't die really until the end of 95. I think what Reboot meant was its not hard to get started programming on the Jag.

JagChris Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Well that was random. How hot is it over there down under? You doing ok? You get bit by something poisonous? I hear even the spiders over there have health bars. It's not hard to get started. It's also not hard to code for.

JagChris Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Out of curiosity and OT, have the winters been more severe than usual over there? The States have had some freak weather the last couple years. That's a small spider Also, its winter over here. Winter may be coming everywhere else, but its damn well arrived here. brrrrr!

+CyranoJ Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Our summers are getting warmer and at different times of the year. Our winters are getting colder. But our blind and ignorant politicians think there isn't any climate change. Corporate greed will kill the planet, no doubt.

willyvmm Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 The work is in progress ...

Guitari Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Does the Jaguar boot-up cube spin backwards down there? That's a common misconception as is the small scale coriolis effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going slower than i expected, additionally i need to replace all USB connectors ... because of poor quality. a lot of soldering... That sucks... I can only imagine. I've done only slight soldering on circuit boards, and what a pain... can't imagine replacing a bunch of USB connectors... ugh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Willy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The first computer board I designed, my employer required me to make them all myself. At least they paid for the parts. We eventually found a board house that would also solder all the parts for less than the first place wanted for just the boards. I was never so glad... I didn't want to solder another thing ever again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your free time ? Well, even if you could do, like, 3-4 in one evening, that's still about 50+ evenings. You sure you can finish it this year ?
