Et bien, voici un émulateur qui revient d'entre les morts! Il n'y avait pas eu de nouvelle version depuis des années. Les émulateurs Jaguar encore en développement n'étant pas légion, les fans de cette console peuvent tout de même s'y essayer mais si l'auteur reconnait lui même qu'il lui reste encore du travail. Voici néanmoins les release notes qu'il a publiées:
v2.0.2:
Release 2.0.2 (GUI Release) is available for download. Please be advised this is still development code but should make the loading of roms and binaries a lot easier. Some things to note;
- After extracting the contents of the zip file into your chosen location you will need to edit the 'jagulator.ini' file in the root jagulator directory and change to bootpath and rompath to match your installation location.
- You can load roms, binaries or initiate the Jaguar CD Bios from the 'File' menu.
- All roms and binaries selected will start automatically after loading.
- The video output screen will now center on your desktop.
- When loading a binary you will be promoted for the load address after file selection.
- Pressing Escape will stop execution. If you wish to try another rom/binary after you have just run one I would advise using the File | Reset before attempting to load another.
- Please remember this is not fully stable code yet and some titles do not run, others have a tendancy to crash the emu. I am working like crazy to knock down all the issues.
- Please send me feedback on specific issues so that I can improve your experience of Jagulator.
v2.0.1:
I have made a small update to Jagulator this morning which is now setting the correct video screen sizes and not clipping the right hand size of the screen.
v2.0.0:
Today is the day I am releasing a 'preview' release of Jagulator, the first official release of the emu since 1.5.1 (many, many years ago). I do need to point out that this is not a polished final release by any standards but provides an opportunity for all outside the project, well everyone but me ;), to get a chance at seeing how things are progressing. You can download preview release 2.0.0 HERE. No fancy installer, simply extract the contents of the zip file. No fancy manual, yet, so here are some things you NEED to know to get things going;
- Long filenames are not supported so you will need to ensure any rom images you attempt to load do not have 'spaces' in the name.
- Jagulator has a command window style interface (what no fancy GUI!!!)
- Typing help will show you the available commands.
- To load a rom from the command line, type; rom ; For example; rom tempest
- To start the rom executing after it is loaded, press F5.
- Homebrew roms are supported but must be absolute binary files. File types with headers are not currently supported. To load these you will need to know the hexadecimal load address. Those of you who have used tools such as the Skunkboard will be familiar with this. For example, say we have a binary file of BadCoders 4m(Metal) demo with a filename of 'badcode4m' and we know the load address is $4000, we would type; rla 4000 badcode4m.
- Again, to start a homebrew binary, press F5.
- I have included a compatibility list of the roms/homebrews I have tested against here in the zip distribution and on the Status Page of this site. If you would like software tested against Jagulator then please send me your binary.
- Video windows are currently a set size and I know they are not all accurate but work for now.
- The debugger is not present in this build.
- There is no audio or CD emulation in this build.
- Oh, before I forget, there are not commercial or homebrew rom images supplied with this distribution. Those you will have to obtain for yourself.
- Controller 1 is supported only in this release and it is currently a non-configurable set of keys, as follows;
*A, B, C Buttons - 'A', 'S' and 'X'
*Option Button - 'O'
*Pause Button - 'P'
*Joypad Numeric Buttons - '0' thru '9' on the numeric key pad
*# and * Buttons - '/' and '*' on the numeric key pad |
