I know it's on ps1 as well but how's Tempest 2000?

@George-Spiggott said in Calling Pi 4 Atari Jaguar Fans:
Not tried lr-Mess yet. How do AVP and Atari Karts play?
Don't you find AVP runs well on Virtual Jaguar? It seems to run well on mine at least.
I am interested in lr-Mess but I am not sure which Jaguar game is going to make me put in the effort to set it up on my Pi. I do hear good things about Atari Karts so maybe that is the one.
Bubsy runs slowly on Virtual Jaguar, but Zool 2 seems fine.
-
@AdamBeGood any special setup for virtual jaguar? I'm overclocked and I've played with the configs a bit but can't get any game faster than a slideshow (4b 4gb).
-
@Scout53 On AvP specifically? Jaguar generally I find pretty poor on mine, but that game is okay.
I have Fast Blitter and Doom Res Hack ON in Options. I have the RunCommand resolution at 720x480.
I don't know if these things make a difference (I think the Fast Blitter does, whatever it means).

My settings (not necessarily the best). Just to match with games performances below.

New Edit : With Pi 5, Lr- virtualjaguar works very well for some games . Major performance gain !
-
@DTEAM I think I'll be installing lr-mess tomorrow then! Results look good.
-
@DTEAM Considering there isn't a whole ton of games in the Jaguar library, it would be really awesome if you would consider doing the same thing for the rest of the games too.
-
Can I set up lr-mess as an additional emulator within atarijaguar, or does it have to be in a new jaguar directory as described in the linked thread?
I've got it set up so that I can open my Jaguar games with lr-mess, and I've put bioses within roms/atarijaguar but games are not opening as yet.
The RunCommand isn't very descriptive:
Parameters: Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/atarijaguar/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atarijaguar/Alien vs Predator (World).j64" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg
Maybe the BIOSes are just not the ones, I don't know if the system would get further if that was the reason... Or these hash files I see mentioned, do they come with the lr-mess install or do I need to seek them out?

Hi. I wanted to do the same thing myself, so I made the change locally and never ended up uploading it anywhere. It's now in RetroPie-Extra, so if you use it, you can safely use the same ROM directory for both lr-mess-jaguar and lr-virtualjaguar.

Okay, that installed well. Thank you!
The additional information says the games need to be .zip, for some reason all mine are .j64. I guess I need to remedy that before I get anywhere with this.
-
@AdamBeGood Try it anyways.
-
@zerojay said in Calling Pi 4 Atari Jaguar Fans:
@AdamBeGood Try it anyways.
Yeah, I have done. Ever the optimist!
Didn't work, but then I don't know if that is to do with the three BIOS I have in my roms/atarijaguar directory or the .zip/.j64 issue. A bit of experimentation is required I guess.
Although does the below suggest that lr-mess wasn't set up correctly? I installed it from Source.

I can't suss out which part I need to do here, I've installed lr-mess and then your lr-mess-jaguar is essentially the fake core isn't it?
Is the problem that I didn't use valerino's version of lr-mess in the first place? Is that what I need to look into?
-
@AdamBeGood I was referring to in general yes, thanks, and @DTEAM that's great. I'll need to 'mess' around with lr-mess when i get a chance.

To install (manually) a system like Jaguar with Lr-mess, fallow this thread:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22600/how-to-emulate-bally-astrocade-vtech-creativision-and-emerson-arcadia-2001-in-lr-messDownload mame0225s.exe on https://www.mamedev.org/release.html , installe It and go in "hash" folder to get jaguar.xml file.
To run Lr-Mess, you need to match the names of your roms with the list in the hash folder (jaguar.xml). Copy that file (jaguar.xml) and paste It in/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame/hash/
BIOSes are
- jaguarboot.zip
- jaguar.zip
- jaguarcd.zip
Copy those Bios in the main rom folder, not bios folder.
/home/pi/RetroPie/romsNow Create your system:
In /opt/retropie/configs/jaguar
emulators.cfg
lr-virtualjaguar = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-virtualjaguar/virtualjaguar_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/jaguar/retroarch.cfg %ROM%" lr-mess = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/jaguar/retroarch.cfg %ROM%" default = "lr-mess"
retroarch.cfg
# Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/jaguar/" #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

@DTEAM this is amazing thank you so much.

For Jaguar with Lr-Mess , you must set the Lr-mess deadzone for D-Pad(ex: for AVP)
and to adjust the sound.
It seems to create some sound problems and control problems for some games -

It seems to create some sound problems and control problems for some gamesJaguar doesn't have analog input so I don't see why you would need to set a deadzone? I haven't and everything seems fine?
-
It's maybe similar to the mouse problem with CD-I
For some games. Everything go to right and down without touching controller
In PVA (predator vs alien), the character move alone and when I play with deadzone , It stop.
In Double Dragon V. We don't have the main combat game soundtrack. When I push start (pause) and after (not in same time) push B or A to access volume control in the game, the volume go down alone.
For CD-I,I enabled the mouse to fixed the movement problem, I'll see If It create the problem for Jaguar
