ivanchekhlov Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 It seems like Hasbro made the jaguar an open platform and gave documentation on cloning the console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Oh boy. The only thing Hasbro ever released is a pretty vague press release claiming the Jaguar was an "open system". They didn't release any technical info, much less "documentation on cloning the console". All the info that's publicly known came from other sources. And even with the current prices, cloning it would require massive efforts and cost a lot more than what the original sells for. This is not an Atari 2600 we're talking about.

+Stephen Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 All Hasbro released was the rights to release software for the platform. They declared it an "open system" regarding software. But they couldn't even provide Scatologic (formerly 4-Play, and the reason the system was made open) with the encryption key. Hence the need for those guys networking 8 Jaguars and brute forcing it. That was super cool to witness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No One You Know Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Didn't someone get an FPGA implementation of a Jag running? I'm sure I saw it on youtube running Cybermorph though I don't know if it was legitimate or not or anything about it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this: https://github.com/ElectronAsh/Jaguar_MiSTer_master It barely runs JagStudio examples. Last commit was 17 months ago. So, effectively abandoned.
