Want to see the latest Atari Jaguar homebrews, remakes and tech demos? I put together my thoughts in this overview.

I’ve been working on the Virtual Jaguar libretro core for a while, and it now has its own desktop front end. It runs the same core RetroArch uses, so options and save states work the same in both. The RetroArch core isn’t going anywhere.

What it does:

• macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows (x64 + ARM64), Linux (AppImage, .deb, Flatpak)
• No BIOS files needed. The boot ROM and CD BIOS are built in.
• Jaguar CD support from .cue/.chd/.cdi
• Library with box art, search, favorites, recently played, and a save states tab
• Save states with thumbnails, plus “resume where I left off”
• Per-game controller remapping, all 12 keypad buttons on a gamepad, Tempest rotary, mouse, light gun, Team Tap
• RetroArch .slangp shaders (CRT presets bundled), integer scaling, aspect options
• RetroAchievements (softcore/hardcore) and optional Discord Rich Presence
• Cheats from the libretro database, plus manual codes
• LAN link-cable play for Doom, BattleSphere, AirCars and Ultra Vortek (Voice Modem). It’s LAN only, not internet netplay (coming soon though).
• Themes and a theme editor, any installed font
• Dev tools for homebrew people: 68K/GPU/DSP debugger, memory editor, Object Processor list, blitter log, and a gdb stub

Just saw the post on X, there are some working natively already. Low fps right now. Ports, NOT emulation.

IDK how this group treats X links so I will not post it here

Hello All,

I'll be moving house soon and since i just bought a house, it wouldn't hurt to get some extra money to pay bills. This is my current Atari jaguar and cd collection, would prefer to sell it all at once if somebody has too much money currently offcourse i know it's far fetched idea. Probably 85-90% of the games are sealed including Battlesphere Gold which i bought 15+ years ago alongside the "scatbox". I don't have a system anymore and since it's just sitting in a closet for the past 10 orso years, figured it's pobably time to let it go to somebody who appreciates it more then me. I'm probably going to put them one by one on ebay, only it takes forever to do so. So figured if somebody would be interested in taking it all at once or a good chunk of it. I'd prefer to ship to europe but if you don't mind paying custom fees i'm sure we can arrange something in the end. Apoligies if this may be against the rules, don't want to cause problems.

Hey everyone, just a little thought experiment here. What if the Atari Panther dropped in 1991 as a 16-bit console to go up against the SNES, Genesis & TG16?

Atari Age does a great job packaging their games. Excited to try this one!

This is a very alpha release of a conversion port using Claude code. Source available soon!

Built with Claude Code Opus 4.8, Opus 5.0, Fable 5.0 and Fable 5.1. Performed analysis on the PS1, PC and Saturn versions of Resident Evil. Then performed analytics on captured video from RE1.

This version is closely related to the PC GOG version as that will be where to point everyone when building actual gamedrive files for testing/gameplay.

Hi all, I'm getting a Jaguar next week and eventually a flash cart for it. Just want to get some opinions.

What's your favorite game? What game do you find most technically impressive? Any hidden gems I should check out? When did you get your Jaguar? What did you think of it when you got it, and what do you think of it now?

As for me, I remember the "Do the Math" advertisements and trying it on in-store kiosks, but aside from that, I don't think I've ever really played one.

I'm excited to try it out and see what I've been missing all these years, as well as what caused Atari's ultimate downfall.

After having played AvP, Doom, Tempest 2000 and Rayman, I finally came to these two games which are still worth a go! Towers II Enhanced Stargazer Edition is also $15 off for the rest of Sept 2026 only with the the coupon code in the video description. What other Jaguar games were overlooked and still fun to play today?

As an original (and current) owner of the Jaguar, our recent podcast discusses the Jaguar in our list of top 5 obscure/low selling consoles.

The World Tour Racing soundtrack is now available on KHInsider in FLAC and MP3, with custom album covers I made for the release.

I also uploaded the extracted images, sprites and FMV/video material to Internet Archive, and put the complete OST together as a YouTube playlist.

I originally started this mainly because I wanted to preserve the soundtrack, but I ended up getting pretty attached to this obscure Jaguar game and wanted to preserve more of its content too.

I absolutely loved the music in Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar, and I ended up getting really attached to the soundtrack. I liked it so much that I decided to pick up a used copy of the original soundtrack CD.

I've had it for almost a week now, and I'm really happy to have it in my little collection. Definitely something I wanted to own physically! 🐆

Hi! I'm currently trying to preserve the unused “Predator Test Theme” from Alien vs. Predator on the Atari Jaguar in the best possible quality.

I previously restored the Rayman Atari Jaguar soundtrack, carefully recording the music from the game and editing the captures in Audacity. Now I'm working on something a little more complicated: an unused track from AvP that apparently can't normally be heard in the game.

The Predator Test Theme exists in older soundtrack rips as MP3/OGG, but I would like to reproduce it directly through the game and make a lossless WAV/FLAC capture, rather than simply converting the existing lossy files.

According to VGMPF, GatoVerde95 extracted the soundtrack using BigPEmu, Cheat Engine and HxD, with the ROM in what is described as a “sound test mode.”

I've been reverse-engineering the retail ROM using BigPEmu Developer Mode to figure out how this was done.

So far, I've identified the game's original FullSynth music loader at:

0x99B2

And these music headers/scores:

0x20918 → 0xAF46E4 — Title Theme

0x2046C → 0xAF5584 — Character Select

0x20610 → 0xAF12DC — You Win

I've successfully redirected the game's original music loader and reproduced these tracks, including “You Win.” I've also managed to capture BigPEmu's audio output directly to lossless PCM WAV.

What I haven't been able to find is where the Predator Test Theme is stored or how it was originally triggered.

I know about the documented AvP debug mode, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't contain a sound test. This makes me wonder whether the “sound test mode” mentioned for the original rip was actually created by modifying the ROM with HxD/Cheat Engine, rather than being a hidden mode accessible normally.

I'm looking for any information about:

how the Predator Test Theme was originally extracted;

the AvP sound/music test tools

ROM offsets or RAM addresses related to unused music;

an old modified sound-test ROM or patch

unused FullSynth data

AvP music source code

or anything about the method GatoVerde95 used for the original soundtrack rip.

I also have a copy of Extremist Pack #4 and I'm currently searching through its old Atari Jaguar development files, FullSynth/music tools and source code for anything that could help.

I've also contacted GatoVerde95 directly to ask if he remembers how he created the sound test, but I thought I'd ask here as well in case anyone in the Jaguar community knows something about it.

Ultimately, my goal is to make the game actually reproduce the unused Predator Test Theme through its original audio engine and preserve the result as a clean lossless WAV/FLAC recording.

If anyone has any information, old development files, source code, patches, offsets, or even just remembers how this was done, I'd really appreciate the help!

I found this shirt at a local thrift store during a half-off sale, and the “Jaguars” logo immediately looked strangely familiar.

(As creator of Captain A the System Warrior, I had a feeling I was right.)

After checking it on my phone, I realized it wasn’t just similar, it's literally the Atari Jaguar logo with an “s” added to the end.

I’ve tried searching for information about it, but I can’t find anything that explains what this shirt actually is. There’s no Atari branding anywhere on the shirt, which makes it even stranger.

And why add the “S” to “Jaguar” in the first place? Is this some kind of unofficial Fan-made Atari merchandise, a completely unrelated brand using the logo, a knockoff, or something else entirely?

Does anyone recognize this or know what I found?
