This is incredible!! I never though I'd see good jaguar emulation

Great to see someone has finally put the effort in to make a full featured emulator for the jaguar

If the jaguar ran like that when it was released, it might not have been such a flop

The problem of the Jaguar was not the power. The games was the problem. AvP was a eyecatcher but the balance was very bad and most of the other games, was like snes games.

This emulator has made me so happy. It’s fantastic. I used to own a Jaguar and a handful of games for it. Sold it 15 years ago for no good reason for almost nothing. What a dumb move. At least now I can play proper Tempest 2000 again on any PC with any controller, which is awesome.

The name of this emulator and the bloody into animation reminds me of the glory days of "Nesticle". I'm a fan of juvenile humor.

It’s so bizarre that this releases literally the day after I just explained to someone that Iron Soldier 1 and 2 would never be possible to emulate due to unknown documentation of the memory arbiter. Ok, it looks like somebody has fulfilled the impossible mission, but how tf did they do it?

The dude said it came from the Atari 50 collection. It's probably an illegal rip like that one Saturn emulator from way back in the day. That one was threatened with legal action by Sega because it was based on Sega's own official Saturn emulator they used in the PC version of a Panzer Dragoon game. This one might suffer the same fate, so download it before it gets harder to find. And specifically about the memory arbiter, the creators of the emulator probably had the documentation they needed since the emulator is an official piece of software.

Well this is exciting. NOTICE: this developer needs Jaguar CD hardware donated so he can try to get THAT working for us. THAT opens up some GREAT indie game titles and GORF!

Well, you'll be pleased to know the KZread Algorithm caught you, or I'd NEVER have heard of this emulator this soon! The good news is its very presence. In fact, I went to the webpage and downloaded it BEFORE I started watching! XD The bad news is it STILL don't save Super Cross 3D. Even at Triplespeed (the highest setting for RISC and 68K). Plus, Tempest 2000 still runs perfectly, heck, smoother than smooth, at Triplespeed; it's like it's intended to be scalable, just in case the Jaguar 2 would be an actual thing! XD Also, AvP isn't affected by the speed, it Just Plain Runs. And that's all we really need, don't we? :p And Rich Whitehouse, if you're reading this, this liberated emulator just EARNED your bosses an eventual purchase of Atari50 for a system of my choice! :D (possibly PS5 Physical)

This is very good news for Atari Jaguar boys like me who never really played one yet. But I do believe it was a fluke when you said that, " it was better than the real thing." in the beginning of the video. But as far as saving money and not going out and looking for the games and have it come to you on electronic mail is great. I'm playing the Yaba Sanshiro Pro Saturn emulator on Android and it's it sucks. I even bought the pro version but it was almost there. But when you said it's Atari Jaguar is perfected that's good news thank you for post🕹🐅

Jag prices on ebay will finally start plummeting. I better sell mine soon lol

I got randomly recommended this video and well what a pleasant surprise that it took an official Atari collection to get a great Jaguar emulator. Usually commercial emulators that are made for collections like that are only optimised for the games included and its even better that it is being released publicly too.

some folks remaster games but this guy remastered the console lmao

This actually makes the Jaguar look fun! Thanks for showing off this emulator; I'm glad it appeared on my feed!

I love the jaguar, its not perfect by any means but there's just something about it. I'm so glad the emulation has finally been fixed as jag prices are totally retarded but then again most of the prices are when it comes to retro gaming.

Fingers crossed for a Retroarch core. But I guess I can dedicate some work to integrate it into my launchbox

Very impressive how far emulation has come. Looking forward to finally try out well playing Jaguar games. Selling the original Jaguar console now could be a good idea as more and more people are getting access to the games for free and less and less people are willing to pay high prices for these old consoles.

Being able to increase the systems performance is insane. Peak Tempest for sure.

this is amazing, thank you sir for bringing this to our attention

Looks great and well optimized, I wonder if at a certain time there will be a port for the RaspberryPi

That's awesome about the new emulator! Thanks for sharing!

That is cool news to hear. I wonder how long until someone makes a retroarch core of it?

Now if someone gives him a Jag CD ❤

It looks like the programmer knew what he was doing!

This family of emulators is already available on Switch and Vita: PFBA Neo, PSNES, and PNES. Hopefully this one gets ported too 👍

That looks really good. Thank you for the video!

The Jagwah as you put it was so hindered by its own performance at release.. this does give a fresh perspective on a handicapped console really as if we can get maybe more games released for it, if someone is mad enough, it'd be interesting to see

To me, Syndicate is at it's best on the Jaguar, it can finally run smooth.

Un gran anuncio, inesperado e impresionante desarrollo. Hay muchas dudas... pero mientras...es solo para Windows (sería ideal poder correrlo en emuelec), está en ver.1, habrá que calcular cuáles son los requisitos mínimos e ideales. A disfrutar!

Cool video. Love the optimism.

Great video, fantastic emulator!

Good Stuff!! I need to add this to my LB/BB setup...THX!

Good sir, can the emulator run Jaguar CD-Rom games? I’m thinking Primal Rage at 2x CPU speed!

This is awesome!!! I can finally play Jaguar games with a decent frame rate!! Cheers 👌👍

Can't wait for an android version! Gonna pick up one of those retroid pocket 3 pluses after Christmas.

Tempest 2000 running at a higher frame rate? That is all I ever asked for. This emulator is amazing just for that videogame alone.

There's a patch that's supposed to fix the steering in Checkered Flag but I don't think it did much. This would be a decent game if it weren't for that problem.

Just set up a Series S to run Jag games. Would be very happy to see this core make its way to retroarch.

Can we have this on raspberry pi4?

Looks great emulating the Jaguar, very interesting indeed.

I've heard of this but have yet to try it out. Definitely going to play Tempest 2000 (didn't even know there was a Saturn version).

i wonder if it would run on the steamdeck

Looks really good, even emulation has hindered the Jaguar's reputation in how poor it was before this. Such a pain the ass to find one that I could afford so I'm not letting my Jag go anytime soon lol, but this is great for everybody else that wants to try the platform. I never realized how isolated a game platform can get without a good emulator since you can't rely on fringe enthusiasts like myself to keep a following going, a lot of vinegary bitter Jag fans out there. ;) Emulation can be a good diagnostic tool too, turning off layers and effects, see how the performance varies to make better homebrew engines for the platform Ie. some 3D setups weren't right for the Jag hardware.

8:36 Uhhh, what? No nonono, the Jaguar version has always been the best way to play Tempest 2000 my dude. And no, it’s not perfect. A number of games on BigPEmu still have quirks (timing/accuracy issues, glitches, audio crackling, etc.) BigPEmu still has long ways to go before it is up to par with original hardware. It even has yet to support all of its add-on peripherals like the Jaguar CD and Jaglink.

Subscribed!

Okay, I'm sold.

I've never seen checkered flag before that I remember. It sure looks a lot like VR racing for the 32x and Genesis

Since i saw the collection and played the Jaguar games, i just think to my self: just imagine how cool is if someone extract the emulator for this collection to use with other games? That time as finnaly come!! The Jaguar emulation on my notebook is terrible, but the Atari 50 run very fine, so, it's time to learn to fly hahaha

If the games ran like this on the original console it would have been easier to believe it was a 64bit setup

Have to disagree on checker flag. Yes the frame rate was increase but some games used limited frames for the controls. To be fair the is only my thoughts and I still enjoy the video.

Does this emulator have thumbnail/boxart support?

I had Supercross back in the day. Yeah, there is no saving that mess.

This changes the game 😆

nice!

Order the new Atari VCS on the cyber sales, I plan to install Windows and Linux on it. This will be perfect for playing Jaguar games on it.

Unfortunately it looks faster not necessarily smoother..

Pretty neat! I have no interest in any Jaguar game, even its exclusives, but I'm sure its fans will be happy knowing better emulation is coming to it. I've noticed that by overclocking it, as expected and at least for the ones you showed, the game logic doubled its speed as well, instead of just resulting in a smoother framerate, this is due to the gameplay being tied to the lower rate from the ground up. It also happens with some PS1 games, Mega Drive games such as Road Rash will go crazy if overclocked over 200% too, while others, such as Driver 2, Chrono Cross and many more, gets smoother gameplay (mostly locked 30FPS, some even 60), without breaking the game. Doom, Checkered Flag, etc are basically unplayable here.

No 2D game showcases?

Oh my!

Thanks for the heads up.. what a great emulator! Virtual Jag has done a fine job and is still a superb emulator but not without issues on some games.. this looks to run pretty much everything perfectly. Just integrated it into my Launchbox set up :)

Be cool if can be compiled for Android 64 bit.

Alien VS Predator runs the exact same as other emulators. I don't know what you are talking about.

4:30 finally a VR clone works...there is a checkered flag control hack put that rom in this emu and doom rom with music

Supercross 3D is so badly coded that all the modern computer power in the world can't save it. It was obvious from the title screen.

I was recently looked into picking up a Jaguar/CD to collect. When I saw the priced I nearly threw up! This system, while nostalgic, is nowhere near worth the hundreds or thousands people are asking of this system and games. It's quite pathetic where we are for retro game collecting. This system is legit unplayable at times, and for the Jag to command prices like this are completely unwarranted. I'll wait for the recession to bring down prices... Great video however. This is a fantastic emulator.
