      @DTEAM Haha I've already gushed quite a bit about the 3DO port in the 3DO thread but thanks for the recommendation! It is a beautiful game.

      Edit : Aaaaand it's utterly unplayable on the Jaguar anyhow. Worst sound performance I've heard on the RPi yet.

        "Analog Sensitivity must be fix at 0.3 for Lr-Mess"

        Where is this settting seen?

          Edit: Does anyone know what "Fast Blitter" actually is?

          The blitter is a chip that's responsible for "blitting" to the screen - essentially assembling the graphics and spitting out the results. Fast blitter is a rewrite of the emulation of the blitter with lower compatibility as far as I am aware.

            In the retroach menu ( select + x) Main menu/settings/Input/

            Analog sensitivity is by default 1, must be change for 0,3 with lr-Mess

              Interesting! Thank you.

                I noticed there is also an lr-mess2016 in the experimental section. What is the difference between that and lr-mess ?

                Currently running:
                Retropie 4.8.9 on a Pi Zero 2W (Overclock Settings: CPU 1400Mhz)
                ES-DE on a GMKtec K6 (Windows 11, 32GB RAM)

                  I don't know the difference, but I know one of the lr-mess tutorial threads I've seen states that 2016 is not a good option.

                    lr-mess = latest
                    lr-mess2016 = I think version 0.178 or so, released in 2016.

                      I'm curious - has anybody attempted to run Jaguar CD roms through MESS? Not just on the RPi but on any device really.

                        @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.

                        Finally finished! It wasn't the most enjoyable thing I have done in my life, but an interesting exercise.

                        Should I create a new post just for this list?

                            @zerojay and @AdamBeGood Should we suggest lr-mess2016 be removed from the experimental section if it is of no use?

                                It works great for some games . I think They should keep It. With the list above, We know which games don't work and the ones who work well. Some games run at full speed or almost.

                                It's just sad not to have an alternative for other emulators after 25 years. Jaguar seems to be the unloved of simulated consoles. Worse than Sega Saturn.

                                  @DTEAM I'm surprised you'd refer to the Saturn as unloved. I always thought the state of its emulation was due to the console's freakish architecture, but that it had a pretty strong following.

                                    1 point for you for that one!!! That’s true.

                                      @George-Spiggott was talking about lr-mess2016 specifically, not lr-mess. Noone is arguing for that to go.

                                        @AdamBeGood the post @DTEAM is replying to is unclear. My bad. I have since edited it to specify lr-mess2016.

                                          Lr- virtualjaguar: black screen after first door (not playable)

                                          I didn't get a black screen on virtualjaguar but the ceilings aren't rendering properly.

                                            Thanks, I will try it again tomorrow. In my case, It closes when we walk in another room. I'll play with my settings to see if It changes something.
