ColecoGamer Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I remember reading somewhere (I believe it was here on Atari Age) that game developers used Atari ST computers to develop games for the Jaguar. What were these tools and are they still available today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smith Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I thought they used Amigas. Or was that for the Lynx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were these tools and are they still available today? They're the same as the PC tools, just compiled for the ST.

That was the Lynx, indeed (as the designers of the Lynx also designed the Amiga). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy1812 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 The dev tools also ran on the TT . Finished Dinodudes with a TT and the 1280 mono screen. Devpac for the editor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMaddog Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Yeah, Atari did use TT's for Jag development. It was also possible to use plain ST's since I saw someone at a gaming convention use it to make Gorf 2000. Later on SNASM had support for cross-assembling Jag code since many game developers in the 90's were more comfortable using PC's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "official" platform was a Falcon, not a TT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I finished the game off at Atari Sunnyvale they provided me with a TT. At Imagitec we had 2 falcons. Freddy used one to program Raiden and the other was used to do the Falcon version of Dinodudes which left me with a TT to carry on Jag Dinodudes. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
