The Atari Jaguar Thread

[rush6432]

I do like the videos and I think its starting to sway me towards wanting a Jaguar, just the pricing and pettyness of some jag owners/collectors puts me off..... Think patience will be the key as I'll keep an eye on eBay and let a few reasonable priced ones have my attention?

Jag stuff is the most expensive it has ever been and sadly it will only get rarer because Jag stuff was never made in massive numbers.

A certain portion of the Jaguar "community" is pretty toxic but there is a big group of us here and we most certainly aren't!

Yep im pretty amazed at how expensive certain games have become for the jaguar. Sadly the prices are going the way of the Neo Geo and i dont know that it'll ever get cheaper. Hopefully it does.

Ask around here on the board if you're really looking for a console to pick up.  I know jagslave (shawn) has a few but im not sure if he is parting with any?! He sold one for pretty cheap a about a month ago on ebay (60-65 usd for the console only)

Apologies if this has been said before and I've already forgotten, but is there a flashcart for the Jaguar? Sounds like the only reasonable way to play one at this rate...

The Skunkboard, there is a thread about it. It's not a multi-cart though and only takes a single game at a time.

Oh?

I knew about the Skunk Board and just found this but is it legal or freely available or as good as they make it out to be?

EDIT: it is called the JagCF

Considering I don't see a link to actually buy one, I'm not holding out much hope for that, sadly.

Yeah, the site is a bit vague and reminds me why I stopped looking for Jag related stuff years ago. I still can't remember how I ended up here but I am very glad I did.

Well, if there is any reasonable and good developments for the Jag out there, I'm sure we'll hear about it here soon enough and without all the bull that goes with so many so-called Jaguar support sites. Thanks for the input

The Jag CF is the biggest piece of vapourware ever, it was revealed to be a fraud years ago (partially thanks to me)

Thanks Laird, again, that is why I joined this site because you tell it as it is

Exactly that! You remember the story 

[Cryptic33]

Wow 


I guess it is a sad fact that when there is a scent of success, some will try to exploit the general public. Oh and yes, I do use the word 'success' deliberately in relation to the Jag since, ironically, such efforts to scam people are pointless unless there is a potential market. It is very interesting that other great consoles and early home computers have continued to find a market and in that very same market place is the Jaguar, holding it's own.

Well I saw the JagCF running. It was first presented in one Convention that I organized (The Jaguar Connexion 2005 if I remember correctly).

It was not attached to a PC, but I was not finished.

Then they added lot's of feature, including more power and a coprocessor... And the end it was a new Add-on just using the Jaguar to boot and power-up... So they just let it be only a few handful prototypes were made. And I think they are all possessed by SCPCD the creator of the JagCF.

It will most certainly not being released but there is not cheating in this. The work done on the card is amazing most specially the weld. Why would someone invest so much energy and time in a project only to create a buzz

That was a fun review of the Jaguar!

[64bitRuss]

Wait, I'm getting confused on when these videos were produced, I mean he could be joking around, but look at his clothes, the TV he's using, and in that Jaguar review he's talking about it like it was just released in Australia!

That dude is a trip I tell you what.
