SebRmv Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hello everybody, it is my pleasure to announce my first production for the Atari Jaguar. It is an Atomix-like game. You can get it for the BJL kit at http://removers.free.fr/softs/en/download.php. I hope you will enjoy it!

Zerosquare Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 (edited) Yes, it's a modded Jag with the BJL ROM (or one with the Protector SE cartridge). But you can also try out SebRmv's game on Project Tempest, it works fine Edited February 19, 2006 by Zerosquare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A modded Jag? 1020716[/snapback] Yup, here's a link: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Byte/4242/jaguar/ I believe Jagmod used to make these up on request a while back, not sure if that is still available. Nifty mod, got a Jag modded back in '98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could describe Atomix though for those of us for whom it's a new name. If you have some screenshots, please post, else I can if that's OK, later on... Cheers, JustClaws.

Fadest Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hello, Atomix was previously released by Thalion on C64, ST, Amiga ... http://www.cus.org.uk/~alexh/games/atomix/atomix.html (screenshot is not the same on Jag version). You goal is to complete a given molecule on each level by assembling all atoms. It's a kind of Sokoban game, but instead of pushing boxes, you will slide atoms (they slide until they are blocked by a wall or another atom). I prefer it to Sokoban as making a move error is not deadly in Atomix, you can find a way to repair it. And good point : there is no more annoying time limit for each level, thanks SebRmv PS : you don't need a modified Jag to play a BJL game : if you have a BJL loader (like Protector SE, JUGS or BJL CD loader) and the right cable, you will be able to play it on real Jaguar (it seems that the game works perfectly on project tempest too).

CrazyChris Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi, I am having trouble uploading it with BJL. Can I use .bin files with BJL? What command line should I use? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) Hello! Hi, I am having trouble uploading it with BJL. Can I use .bin files with BJL? What command line should I use? Thanks, Chris 1021799[/snapback] Yes, you can use BIN-files with BJL. The advantage of "JAG" or "COF" files over the plain binary format is just that these other formats provide information about the startaddress and file-length in their header. The DOS-commandline depends on your BJL-environment (let's assume your BJL-uploader is called "BJL_LOAD.EXE"): If the Jaguar already is running the 8bit-BJL-receiver: BJL_LOAD -n -8 ATOMIC.BIN If you have a BJL-modified Jaguar and you are in the BJL-menu you can omitt the "-n"-parameter: BJL_LOAD -8 ATOMIC.BIN In the case of ATOMIC.BIN you don't need to set either startadress nor file-length as the startaddress is the default-address ($4000) and the file-length will also detected automatically.

Save it on a CD and load it with JUGS? It's that easy? 1021512[/snapback] Seems that you mixed up JUGS and the CD-Bypass (both related to Battlesphere and BSGold): JUGS is a system to upload RAM-based programs into the Jaguar using a serial connection (BJL uses a PC-parallel-port-joypad-port-connection for this). The CD-bypass allows you to run un-encrypted CDs, so if you put ATOMIC.BIN on a Jaguar-CD then you could play it without the need to encrypt it first (saves you some time and a CD-R).

CrazyChris Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'm still having touble with my BJL. When I try to upload, I get the colored lines, and then I get a black screen?

Matthias Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) Hello! I'm still having touble with my BJL. When I try to upload, I get the colored lines, and then I get a black screen? No, after some few moments you should see a titlescreen with 2 big graphics at the top and the bottom of the screen, between these the credits-text should appear. ATOMIC.BIN works for me on PAL-K (50+60Hz) and NTSC-M Jaguar's. I would say that your BJL-upload failed, a blank black screen can also appear when the upload isn't finished, you can test this if you just start the DOS-commandline again, if the Jaguar shows the flickering screen again then the previous upload didn't complete. I am using a composite video cable. Irrelevant. I am running windows 98 on a 1 year oldHP computer. Chris 1023452[/snapback] Win98 is ok, but the "1 year old" computer might be too fast, have you tried to upload other RAM-based demos ("homebrews")? Like my small COLORS.JAG or the big NATIVE.file? Is your BJL-cable shielded properly? As an alternative you could now burn an encrypted CD, see this thread: Atomic-CD-image available Regards Matthias Edited February 24, 2006 by Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyChris Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Thanks for the info. My BJL setup used to work my PackardBell computer. I will have to try a slower computer. Chris Hello!

ifty Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Just want to start off by saying hi! I have been looking at these forums for a while (when I can). I can not for the life of me get this cd to burn. I have tried the newest clonecd, and nero neither of these disk will play. Is it a certain brand of CD-R or certain burners? I can put the disk back in my computer and my computer things it is an audio disk so it will play the music. I would really like to play this game on my JAG-CD. Purchased my jaguar back in 94 (I think?) my wife thought I was nuts, but I had to have it! Then as the games came out and I could afford them I started purchasing what ever I could (which wasn't much because I was pretty poor). I remember making a special trip to St. Louis to get the JAG-CD at a babbage store in the CrestWood mall on release day! I was in such a hurry to get home and play it! Anyways, any help on the burning thing would be great, keep up the work guys, great forum. I will continue to browse this forum, but I am a light poster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagChris Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 What the heck is a BJL? A modded Jag? You don't NEED to mod your Jag now. The BJL CD and the BJL Adapter do it without modding the Jaguar. THANK GOD!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hello, Right, I remembered that I had not actually tried to play this game yet! Sorry! The page describing how to play the game is bad, the domain is only spam now. I burnt the Nero image to CD-R, (cheap unbranded printable ones) and yet it booted first time. Great. This little pile of homebrew Jag CDs is growing fast! However, I remain completely baffled still on what to do with the game. The idea of moving an atom around to create a molecule seems fair enough, but I am baffled with even level 1. All I can create is water, and nothing happens! Please help, I am sure it's lots of fun, but gameplay discussion here is absent! Cheers, JustClaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
