Lordmonkus Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 No Bios needed according to their Wiki, http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=Virtual_Jaguar It can be a funky emulator though and you could have bad rom dumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Plenty of the ROMs just don't work either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIE Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 ok gonna test some different games i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Yeah I only have 3 games, Tempest 2000, Defender 2000 and Rayman. Of the 3 Rayman doesn't work. I am in the process of grabbing the set and I will do some extra testing. If you do get working roms and want to play be sure to turn on "Fast Blitter" or else your games will probably run too slow. This system is a curse I tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weltall Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Because that is one of the cores I wanted to use RetroArch on, I have found a solution by using a different core which seems to be for 64bit systems. Sadly it did not work that well like the actual Virtual Jaguar for me, but you can give it a try yourself. I honestly did not try too much to make it work better. Maybe you will have better luck. http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=54548883414813573228 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIE Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 One thing I messed up. It's actually Jaguar CD does that make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weltall Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Virtual Jaguar does not really play Virtual CD, although I mean the actual emulator. It is a feature to be distributed. I tested a handful of CD ones and the only one that worked for me, was the Baldies if I remember well. it has been quite some time now. I stopped thinking about it, since it has been two years now that the status of that feature is on CD support coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The CD will require a bios file. Are there even any Jag CD emulators out there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIE Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 Ok sounds like there's no point in trying with Retroark and Jaguar CD for now. Thanks for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Not to sound like a dick but the Jaguar itself is not worth the time and energy, the games are all either terrible or better ports exist elsewhere on better emulators / systems.

DOS76 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I agree that Jaguar is terrible it is probably the worst system I've ever seen but despite that it is worth getting running as it takes very little effort especially if you use RA. I believe that CD emulation is non-existant about the same way the Virtual Jaguar development seems to be nonexistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weltall Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The only reason I wanted to emulate Jaguar CD was the exclusive games it has and nothing more. Afar from like 4-5 games that do not exist on other consoles and would be nice to see their awfulness, I would avoid it XD There is an older emulator that supports Jaguar CD, but it is so bad that matches the awfulness of Jaguar CD itself.

Lordmonkus Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 My bitterness towards the Jag stems from the fact I actually owned one back in the day :( I wish it had good games but it sadly did not. Though I guess AVP was decent for its time but it has aged terribly, Tempest 2000 was great but it has ports to the Playstation and Saturn.

weltall Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I remember you mentioned that you owned it, along with some others. Better not think about it. Try to fill your mind with good memories. From my "want to try" list, the only games I want to try on it are Battlemorph, Highlander, Hover Strike, Iron Soldier and Robinson's Requiem. I remember the whole library of games was really small, so it is not weird the interest to emulate it is not that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The Atari Jaguar CD, as far as I know, can only be emulated using project tempest, and furthermore, only like 2 of the games work at all. The regular Jaguar works well enough for me in RetroArch. No Bios required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 If I recall that core and the standalone emulator don't actually emulate the CD functions, only the cart functions. What I showed off for the tutorial was not a CD game. Virtual Jaguar still gets development from time to time because it is open source, but the last update was March of 2015.

DOS76 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Is that the one from the official website? I didn't think the version I had was that new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
