Clint Thompson Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) I’ve seen various forms of Jaguar reference and dev manuals but I’ve yet to see one surface for the Jaguar CD. Or any other related programming documentation for it outside of a few various Atari utility programs. Does anyone know if Atari actually created one for the JagCD or any extension of the dev manual covering the Jaguar CD in detail? I know it was pretty close to the end of Atari once the JagCD was released but being in development for two years seems like it would have given them plenty of time to write up and document something proper.

SlidellMan Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I think the creators of Super Burnout might have one, but chances are, they either don't or it's in French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilco Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I do remember hearing something about the jaguar cd not having a dev manual, but I don’t know where exactly. I think it was in a YouTube video so I’d take it with a grain of salt anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been warned. I was just responding to this, thanks! (will be... useful available to others looking for the same torture should they find their way here.) Lars was kind enough to point me to a dev manual that had been broken up into like 20 pieces with a section covering the JagCD specifically (appears to be the same one you uploaded). What a nightmare of a system and as suspected, didn't answer some questions I had hoped it would and the ones it did was very vague. Remembering now why it surprised me that any Jaguar CD games exist at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cubanismo Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Note Lars' doc pack also has the Cinepak docs, which have additional info on the JagCD format IIRC, though just a few incidental notes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
