bundangdon Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) For all of you Atari Jaguar fans, a new Atari Jaguar emulator has been released, named "BigPEmu". Supposedly it's the program-emulator used in the Atari 50th Anniversary Collection and has a 100% compatibility rate, including CD games (updated 2/10/23). Can't really confirm that just yet, but so far, I've got it working fine and it's running smoothly with no extra parameters in LaunchBox. Here's the link to the author's homepage: https://www.richwhitehouse.com/jaguar/index.php Someone on YouTube recently posted a video about it too earlier today.

DeadVoivod Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Nice! Have to give it a try. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moudrost Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I have given it a short test and am simply amazed at how perfect this runs as a 1.0 release. I'll always have a soft spot for the Atari Jaguar and didn't think this would ever get to the point of being playable given the pace of development. My weekend plans have just changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy67 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Looks great! Anyone having probs upscaling the games? I've set it to 2K but when I run the games they're in their og resolution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moudrost Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 @Lukeyboy67 it is the display mode causing your issue. Has anyone had any luck setting an exit script so ESC exits the emulator? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy67 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I've tried it in fullscreen and windowed, same issue.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moudrost Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 It works, but probably not the way you want. This is what happens when I choose the lowest resolution on Windowed. It plays in a tiny window on top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy67 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Just expected to play the games in 2k like you can on all modern emu's been messing around in the options, still no luck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) WOW does this work great. Per game settings Per game controls Save states Overclocking ... Even though it's NOT an authentic Jaguar experience, being able to overclock the CPUs makes some of these games actually playable in an enjoyable way which they weren't on the real console. 23 hours ago, moudrost said: Has anyone had any luck setting an exit script so ESC exits the emulator? I'm using the standard Winclose that works fine: Quote $Esc:: { WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}} } Edit: Amazingly generous of Rich the author to release this free to the public while dealing with his serious issues. Thanks Rich. Edited December 3, 2022 by Headrush69 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moudrost Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Thanks @Headrush69 I had tried that but had it on the "exit script". Added to "running script" and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theekinghumpy Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I can rom bigpemu by itself fine but when i run it through launchbox, when i run a game it just brings me to bigpemu menu. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGunBass Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Any update on a command line to launch the game directly from launchbox. All it does is launch the emulator to its gui screen and then asks to load cartridge. Anyone can help getting the game to load directly by passing the gui. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmoney Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Here is how I have BigPemu setup in LaunchBox and launches fine via command line. Take special notice on the default command-line parameters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGunBass Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Ok what I did was set video resolution to borderless window and display size to my monitor size. After that it worked. Initially I had changed it to fullscreen. I didn't have to change anything in my cmd line. Thanks I hope this helps ppl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
