Unsolved Virtual Jaguar - Atari Jaguar & CD emulator; Now new standalone app for Windows, Linux and MacOS.
https://jaguar.provenance-emu.com/app.html
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
