I really don’t understand how this could be an issue, but it certainly does seem to be for some. Yeah it's odd. Do you know what would cause files to have to be deleted and re added all together. This only happened to the CD files not at all with any rom files. What causes the corruption to begin with? I'm not sure how it is an issue either but it is odd and only happened after doing a firmware update, they worked fine beforehand.

+phoenixdownita Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 @SainT are you still attempting to finish the CD support in the firmware to enable WTR? That one game is not bad at all in the Jag library. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 I will get back to it, yes. I’m not sure when this will be, but it will happen… ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 @SainT I'd also love to know if Memory Track functionality might come our way sometime in 2022. I'm super-excited to have CD support, but I've held off on the firmware update because pretty much all of the games I want to play -- namely, the Jaguar CD exclusives -- rely on saving your progress. Some of them have cheat codes to skip to later levels, but I'm not really a "use a cheat code" player these days. I hope this question doesn't come off as nagging, by the way! It's certainly not meant to be, as I recognize that having CD support at all is miraculous. It's only that I don't have a clear sense of whether Memory Track support is more akin to "a problem that's on the verge of being solved", or "something that will take months of research and may never happen at all because there are major technical hurdles". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 Not nagging at all! I've got so much going on in general that the more (polite) noise is made about a specific feature the higher up my mental list it will be. I will definitely be getting memory trak working, yes. From my brief look at it, it shouldn't be too difficult to implement I don't think. 4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having beaten and enjoyed Cybermorph and Hover Strike, playing through the sequels will be like watching the long-awaited follow-ups to two films I liked.

+ls650 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Is there any improvement to yet be found in the loading itself? I ask because I find that loading some games is still problematic... Yesterday I formatted for a second time a new Sandisk Extreme microSD, copied over a folder of what are apparently working JCDs - and although most JCDs are now loading (after several attempts), not BattleMorph. I've tried a couple of different microSDs, formatted and reformatted, etc. No success with BM - I get the opening title page and that's it. I've read through the support posts and don't really see where I'm making an error... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 That’s something else I need to look at. Certain games do not load 100% of the time while others do. Once they boot, though, they seem to work fine. Quite strange… ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranno Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) MemoryTrack would be a great addition. I tried to finish Highlanders in one sitting but ultimately failed ? Good lord these 90s devs, at least reboot from the last chapter, not from the beginning of the game.

teuton17 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 So you are going to school me on Google like I'm a noob. I was building software (best selling PC graphics software in the world) probably before you were born or out of diapers. How's that for subtle? I am straightforward, excuse me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - didn't realize you were such a powerful and important individual. I guess this is the part I kneel down and kiss your ass. BTW - regarding the subtlety part. I'll be direct. It was a joke you dumb fuck and if you were subtle or nice, you'd have received help. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teuton17 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Nice try at a cover, like your response was meant to be a joke. If you don't like what people post, don't respond. Your use of name calling marks you as being low on the maturity and mental scale, so you are proving yourself to everyone again.

Not trying to cover at all. Your use of "I've been a bad ass programmer since you've been in diapers" is really telling too. Typical internet tough guy, a real keyboard warrior. You'll fit in perfectly around here. Drop in, ask for ROMs, display great personality.

doctorclu Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (Laughs) So making some polite noise to @SainT about the memory track support and CD support. I mean, Gorf is working, which is all I really wanted, but playing Battlemorph or World Tour Racing would also be fun. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 For the moment I'm trying my hardest to sort out ways around the current parts shortages and keep products available for purchase, so I've got little time to do anything productive.

stdjxf15 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Recently got my game drive. I feel like a fool but I can't find the firmware update link, it is no longer available on the product page. And when attempting to access the site with my QR code I get a 404 error code. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Press option when booting when it says ‘Press OPTION for firmware update’ then use the QR code or link provided. The update url will be displayed on the screen along with the QR code with the same link. If you get the serial number, press option again. Sometimes I have heard peoples controller buttons are sticky and they end up on the serial number screen and try and use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
