Calling Pi 4 Atari Jaguar Fans

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?

@DTEAM Why not?

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

[edit for clarity]

If what 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.

George Spiggott

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

Wolfeinstein 3D
Lr-Mess : black screen (not playable)
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.

My mistake, It's playable. 34 FPS. I changed It. Thanks

Zering

Are you guys not getting that horrible screeching sound upon booting Wolfenstein 3D?
That's an instant Start + Select moment for me ^^

George Spiggott

I don't get any sound on Wolfenstein 3D with lr-virtualjaguar.

zerojay

It also seems prone to crashing/freezing at random times before or after a level.

I don't get any sound on Wolfenstein 3D with lr-virtualjaguar.

So, we should keep It playable or not ?

zerojay

@DTEAM Keep it for now, but I think it needs more playtime.

Zering

Has anybody figured out some way to improve the sound? Being able to play Alien Vs Predator is very exciting, but the sound scratches and glitches quite often for example, which is distracting.

@Zering
Try with Lr-Mess. I think It's a better game experience . I'll change my emulator choice
