Thunderbird Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Hi, I wonder if a normal JAG could be converted to a CO-JAG? TXG/MNX The easiest way would be to buy a CoJag arcade machine and transplant the Tom and Jerry Chips. :-) But seriously, I'm sure it could be done... with a whole amazing lot of work. I don't think it would be easy. You could probably take a part-time job and save up enough cash for a real CoJag machine in less time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably take a part-time job and save up enough cash for a real CoJag machine in less time. They aren't overly expensive if you're prepared to spend a little time making a JAMMA rig so you can play them outside of a cabinet (using your TV) and hacking up some lightguns instead of paying through the nose from Happ. It can be done, anyway, but not without a fair investment of time or money, one of the other will do Stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 If someome did this super hack J64 converted to a CO-JAG illl be the frist one line to play Area 51 how would the roms be loaded, Jagcd or a cart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Umm... Im very much in favor of just buying a CoJag hehe. Save up all summer, then at the end of summer, go round all the arcades you can find, in small towns many still have CoJag machines running, ask to buy them (at the end of the season). Easy. What I'd kill for is a set of Freeze roms... anybody have an image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagMod I was just looking at that on System16 yesterday. The Cojag hardware is pretty cool, but very pricey.... Definitely something on my list to add to my collection...

Willard Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 I know damn near nothing about arcade stuff. Just out of the stupidist hint of curiosity, since i already know that arcade games use giant boards, but do the Co-Jag arcade systems run off jaguar cartridges? Could you possibly take a Maximum force Arcade board and turn it into a jag cartridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at System 16 page but there is only a description page of it. Thanks for info Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also some proto games that were made (see Freeze above). These are full size arcade machines. Hope that helps. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkoVitch Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 doesn't the Co-Jag use a MIPS CPU instead of the 68000 at a higher clock speed also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXG/MNX Posted June 1, 2003 Author Share Posted June 1, 2003 I found the following: "Area 51" 1995 light-gun-shooter The 68000 was replaced by an SGI R3K at 25 MHz 4 MB RAM 1 GB HDD Hmm a Jaguar cartridge can hold 4mb of data so could this game be ported to the normal Jag? How hard is it to add an IDE controller for the harddisk? Hmm would be cool.... TXG/MNX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is there any shop that still has it for sale or eBay or other auctions are the only way of acquiring this baby? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Czarnowski Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 doesn't the Co-Jag use a MIPS CPU instead of the 68000 at a higher clock speed also? Actually is there any developer documentation available for CoJag hardware? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From System16 web page: Main CPU : R3000 @ 33 Mhz (68EC020 @ 25Mhz for Area 51 only) Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkoVitch Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 What are these mystical freeze roms of which you speak? they sound fascinating can you use them to stop time or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 I give up. I speak of course of the downloaded data from the rom chips that contain the CoJag game called Freeze. I ask since I've long had plans to buy a CoJag board and get it to run freeze, or possably even a multi-game setup. So... does anyone know if the rom images are availible anywhere? does anyone know the legal situation regarding freeze? Does anyone on the AA forums have an original physical copy of Freeze?

Just out of the stupidist hint of curiosity, since i already know that arcade games use giant boards, but do the Co-Jag arcade systems run off jaguar cartridges? Could you possibly take a Maximum force Arcade board and turn it into a jag cartridge? Can't happen. The hardware it's running on is different, and there's nowhere to add the hard disk. You could do it, but it'd be much the same as putting the whole board on the cart and just using the Jag to provide power So... does anyone know if the rom images are availible anywhere? does anyone know the legal situation regarding freeze? Does anyone on the AA forums have an original physical copy of Freeze? Ask at www.safestuff.com (and expect to be shouted at). Freeze is a prototype; as such only about 2 physical copies exist. Still, you can ask... Stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Hmm.... maybe I should just hide a VERY large truck, a big stick, and go steal that guys entire collection .

LinkoVitch Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I know lets get him and Jagsmith to fight out who is the king collector. Then whilst they are both going at it, sneak off and steal their loot I am sure they would be glad of the relief of loosing all that stuff, save them a fortune in armed guard wages alone!
