DracIsBack Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 They did try their best with it, but just like Atari and their Jaguar, their timing and limited capital just didn't work out the way they had hoped. The disadvantage that nailed Sega was that the financial model of the industry had shifted. From the Atari 2600 to the PSX, companies focused on breaking even on consoles and making money on the software. With the Dreamcast/PS2/X-Box, the focus shifted on companies LOSING money on the consoles and making it up on software. Sega, after the debacles known as Saturn/32X/Sega CD, didn't have the cash to be able to survive in such a model for long. And while the Dreamcast did have solid games and sell decently, Sega was in no finanical position to weather the storm while waiting for the Dreamcast's install base to grow to a level that would keep the company alive.

krupkaj Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I played a little with Catia today. So here is Panther in 3D :-) It is not very exact, there was some dimension missing, but for basic imagination it is enough look down there is a better model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downix Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Thinking about what has been said, there is no reason someone couldn't put the Jaguar chipset into a single chip now... providing someone figures out how to convert the netlist files into something like VHDL or Verilog.

So here is Panther in 3D :-) It is not very exact, there was some dimension missing, but for basic imagination it is enough OMG!!! Very cool, nice work.... I'd make the buttons red though...

Clint Thompson Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Again.. very nice! I think I like the red butons better too because it just gives it more of an edge... instead of the laid-back blue. Cool stuff!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K3V Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 If your program allows texture mapping you should definitely get a Panther logo on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krupkaj Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 If your program allows texture mapping you should definitely get a Panther logo on there unfortunately not - it is a CAD system. But I have sent the model to JagMod, maybe he can do something with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Heh.... when he first posted the blue one... I was messing around with the Panther logo and trying to affix it... .but as you can see it didn't work out very well.... anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy the Atarian Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I think it looks kick ass. Especially the letter "R." It certainly does. Had it been released, just think how it would look next to an SNES or Genesis? At least Atari was good at designing sweet looking systems. Are there any preliminary drawings of the Jag2 around somewhere?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 @ atari-explorer.com I checked out your homepage and the new panther section. very impressing. awesome hot stuff. sensational material. But I think you did a very little mistake @ the panther drawings: watch that "back" image carefully. I think you should flip this image in vertical direction, shouldn't you? greetinx from germany micky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEX Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 Hi Micky, I haven't had time to check it out fully, but can you explain further what the mistake might be? If I've made one - sorry! Someone point it out to me and I'll correct it. Many thanks for the kind words, Oh, and krupkaj - great model - lovely work! Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I haven't had time to check it out fully, but can you explain further what the mistake might be? If I've made one - sorry! Someone point it out to me and I'll correct it. He already said that What he means is that the back view of the Panther shown on your site is with the Panther resting upside-down - the cooling fins are on the top in that picture, as opposed to the bottom in all the other views. So it needs to be flipped vertically Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Maybe it's just me, but that thing looks like a giant Sega 32X. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Maybe it's just me, but that thing looks like a giant Sega 32X. Tempest Heh, good to know it wasn't just me thinking that! Still looks quite interesting, though, and a bit nicer than a 32X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
