UHATEIT Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 This is nothing against any of the developers or homebrew people working on the Jaguar, but personally I love everything by Dr. TYPO, and feel Tube SE is absolutely fantastic and imo the best homebrew for the Jaguar. This is a well deserved production of some fantastic games! Question on this cart if not already answered, but does it save times on Tube SE? One of the things that was annoying for me was when I'd beat level 10 to unlock further levels then if you turn off the game then back on you lose the time you needed to beat and unlock the next level and have to replay to re-unlock again. Also is there any high score save on Gem Race at all? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Editorb Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I fear I must be the Harbinger of Sorrow again ... Controller d-pad and start buttons do not work on title screen. Tried two controllers; they both are being read by the console because the buttons can be used to skip the Atari jingle and the tumbling letters on startup screen, but then nothing happens on title screen. I did not try other Jag; since they're both K models, I doubt it would make a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your game was tested on a Jaguar after the board was soldered and it was tested again after assembled into a cartridge before it was labeled. Testing included navigating through the menu and starting up at least one of the games on the cartridge. I would like to know the results of your testing on your second Jaguar. I have not had any reports of failure of ether Gravitic Mines or Dr. Typo Collection from anyone else since shipping all these games out en masse. ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why, in addition to feeling like a perpetual party pooper, I feel like even more of a schmuck with my comments like "Is this game supposed to make my Jag burst into flames? Is that a bug or a feature?" The symptom is similar to what I encountered with Brawn & Brains i.e. cart boots but menu unresponsive. B&B does work intermittently but I have been unable to correlate to any conditions such as which Jag, console warm or cold, etc. I'll be trying again tonight. Switched to Gravitic Mines last night, then hosted old college friend. ("Old" and "friend" being redundant since all my friends are nearing their dotage.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Editorb Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Fired up last night. I didn't try the d-pad on title screen; pushed a button and was launched down the tube! After a few games of that, I power cycled console, and title screen was unresponsive. After coupla power cycles, I reseated cart and booted console a coupla times; title screen unresponsive. Electronics shouldn't act like this, but kinda figures since it's sorcery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the only game that does this? Have you tried cleaning the cart connector? It's possible something got on there during shipping. Try your other Jag for chrissake.

The cartridge itself is in a plastic bag, the bagged cartridge is in a box, the box itself is in another plastic bag and then the bagged box is shrinkwrapped. Having said that, it would not hurt to use a Q-tip with some isopropyl alcohol to clean the cartridge edge connector that plugs into the Jaguar. If there is anything on the cart, it's certainly possible that Editorb's Jaguar is more susceptible to it. ..Al 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rather frustrating to read because he won't try another jag because it's the same model which doesn't take into account that specific Jag itself may be having trouble after 30 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHATEIT Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Someone on the Atari Jaguar Fans page on Facebook just posted an issue getting their Dr. TYPO collection to select games. That was on a Model K. They switched to their Model M and everything works fine. He posted to alert anyone who had that issue 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not that I *won’t* try the other Jag. I have yet to invest the time in making the swap, which involves swapping all the dust plugs among other accoutrement. We’ll get ‘er. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogneda Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 There was a similar problem with the first version of Asteroite, that it didn't run properly on some K-series Jaguars. Eventually it was discovered that it was a software bug that caused this problem. This discovery by @Editorb was very helpful for @Songbird, and @phoboz, so they could fix this problem. All customers who had bought the first version of Asteroite were offered a new/updated cartridge which would not have this problem anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 For high score purposes, are there any differences between the games on the cartridge and the released binaries? I think no but I’d like to be certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
