Hopefully I'll get to meet her at the PRGE

These magazines now looking back on them were filled with so much misinformation.

I myself have no experience with that command.

I have been back to this place several times now and everyone there is telling me nobody who does that works here. There's a guy who comes in every now and then and that sounds like him. But this guy worked there. He waited on me. I bought an Xbox 360 controller from him and a Sega CD copy of Jurass...

Thanks for sharing

you guys probably already know this but a guy at my local retro gamer shop said he just replaced the laser pick up on his 3DO with one from a CD player out of a Lexus that works? it was some fancy car I have to get the specifics out of him but he said the information is available on the internet so ...

Playing through this thanks to gog.com

Is there any way an SD card can be made for the 3DO? And perhaps plugged into some port in the back that will load up CD images?

If I we're rich I'd have cd mechanisms remade for the 3D0 so it would never have to die.

I have only played the Sega CD version. So I don't know I don't even know how far down the way I got.

But I guess I'm nuts cuz I like cheesy FMV it's just so funny.

Lance J. Lewis, Corporal Marine of AvP fame and tester of countless Jaguar games has passed away.

Here is a link to the PSX maps converted to PC if anyone is poking at this for themselves. Since they are now in PC format they shouldn't present any new layer to learn if you already understand the PC format. However in them may be clues to how they reduced the complexity and answer the question be...

Atari had suggested in one of their developer docs that the way to keep the Blitter (the processor in the Jaguar used to copy textures or draw shaded polugons) busy was to form a stack of commands, and just load them into the Blitter each time it finishes its current operation, so thats what I tried...

Who was there that I missed?

Only day I don't work is Sunday. So will be there all day. I will probably spend a lot of the time around Paul Westphals 8bit fix booth. Hope to meet a lot of you guys there.

I am pretty sure Thunderbird optimised Doom completely for the Jag for his own enjoyment. And has probably been through several refinements in the last decade or so.

If we seen a video of it we'd probably crap our pants. 320*240 rez. 30fps. Transparencies.

Whoops my bad. It was ggn. Thinking of soulstar maybe.

You figured out how to compress the levels then decompressed them? Impressive. I know in his original tutorial they were uncompressed.

Oh I thought this was the original ggn hack. I know his only had 12 because they were uncompressed in the ROM.

Maybe with the SD card you can have all the levels you want

The wads in these hacks are uncompressed which is why there's only 12 levels.

I actually found the compression decompression file one time that id used and lost where it was stored.

??

Did you guys see that?

Reprinted from the Atari.io forum: This may not be new news to anyone, I'm not sure, but I had the opportunity to speak with one of the guys recently that was working on the project with them. Turns out that Tetrisphere really is a'bit of a different game than what was originally being made for on t...

The Kega Fusion emulator is probably one of the finest emulators ever made.

Oh if we only had someone with half that skill working on our emulator scene. To dream...

I just rewatched battle of the ports Saturn vs PS1. https://youtu.be/oLVUJr9FpoA As for all those objects which are bitmaps in my opinion Jaguar would have no problem with that. Other than that I don't see anything mind blowing in the terrain morphing.The Jaguar definitely does something very simila...

And if the PlayStation could keep track of all those objects the Jaguar surely could. The main area the PSX beats the Jag is in throwing textures on the screen. Not in straight processing power.

I don't think that having the processors keep track of things would been what have been a problem if Atari would have been smart and gotten High Voltage Softwares development system. They would have been able to do dual CPUs with the DSP handling sound and helping the GPU out. And I don't think the ...

I think the keypad is put to awesome use on this game.

Same with Robinson's requiem. I think it controls with the keypad better than the PC version which I also have.

Something has occurred to me. Mike Diskette tried to give Magic Carpet a go on the Jag and had no luck supposedly. We know the Jag can do textured 3D. HoverStrike etc. Not fantastic but it's there. I think he was overlooking some Jag fundamentals. He did two 2D games(Sydnicate, Theme Park) on the Ja...

A forum member on AA wasn't impressed with PIkos Jag offerings. ST rewraps weren't their thing. They wanted something specific and original for the Jag. CJ replied this is how it is now. Nineties dev teams are gone. Rewraps are all their is. I disagree. TG16 and other systems, Genesis, Dreamcast and...

Looks like it didn't
