It would also be a time consuming project. And in the end, only "clean" TOS/GEM apps would run, anything accessing the hardware directly is out of the question (and that includes 99% of the ST games). I don't mean it's not interesting (it is), but beside the challenge, I doubt it would be really useful...

Thanks for the kind comments kskunk > They're fake USB ports. Actually, they're PS/2 ports with the equivalent of an embedded USB-to-PS/2 plug adapter (a lot of USB mice and keyboards also support the PS/2 protocol). We couldn't use the standard mini-DIN connectors, because there wasn't enough space left on the PCB. We also considered implementing real USB ports, but it would have made the hardware (and software) too complex. For those who would like to use real PS/2 devices, PS/2-to-USB plug adapters also exist. ovalbugmann > Free time is indeed an important factor, so we prefer not to announce any release date... not yet, at least And the production run will be machine-soldered. SCPCD says he'd be able to solder them by hand, but I don't want him to end up in an psychiatric asylum atari_fan > No pre-orders yet. We want to be sure everything is OK first.

Welcome

...about everywhere ?

Yes, we finally got the PCBs from the manufacturer... the afternoon before the AC opening, in fact, so no time to solder the components (yet ) What you see are the first 4 prototypes. Two of them are for SCPCD and me, to check that the hardware is working as intended. The remaining two will probably be used for network testing, and may be sold if there are collectors interested in them The pictures are not ideal, because the PCB were still packaged inside a transparent plastic film ; we didn't remove it to keep them protected until they're soldered. The whitish look on the pads is because of the silver plating (it was cheaper than gold plating, and it is a better conductor, actually). Besides the two sides shown, there are four internal copper layers. And I won't tell how much those 4 PCBs cost us, but they're not exactly cheap (but it's only because of the low volume : they're much cheaper if you make several tenths of them)

Hé oui, aujourd'hui, c'est l'anniversaire de quelqu'un de très fort, de très sympa et de très populaire... j'ai nommé : Jackie Chan*... euh, je veux dire... SCPCD ! La JagCF c'est un beau cadeau non ? * Si, si, vérifiez sa date de naissance sur Google.

Bon anniv'

Happy birthday again, Kuk

Et c'est reparti : bon anniv' à Scrat !

Welcome Dave ! Yes, we would be very interested, both by the hardware and the software contents (which we would like to make available to the whole Jaguar homebrew programming community, if you're OK with that )

Hé hop, addq.b #1, GT

Happy birthday Stabylo

Here you go lines.zip

Happy Birthday again, MK

Since sergi requested it, here's an old source of mine that could be used as a basis for a Jaguar debugger, or anything that needs reliable bidirectional communication between a PC and a Jaguar. It's very rudimentary, because I was too lazy to finish it MinDebug.zip

Indeed. By the way, MinDebug.jag has a header, so if you don't specify an address in the BJL uploader command line, it will be uploaded at the correct address automatically.

The former "Formalisme" forum has been split in two parts for better readability : - Miscellaneous for subjects that are not about Jaguar development, but are still related in some way. - Random chatter for completely off-topic subjects. We hope you'll like the change. Feel free to comment

This forum is intended for discussions of things that are not strictly Jaguar development, but still relevant (e.g. homebrew development in general, Jaguar gaming, etc.). For completely off-topic subjects, please use the Random chatter forum.

Welcome to the off-topic forum. If your subject doesn't have anything to do with development or the Jaguar, you're in the right place. (If it does, use the Miscellaneous forum instead.) Normal board rules apply here as well, so please stay courteous, don't troll or flood, and avoid dubious and illegal subjects. With that said, fell free to discuss anything you find interesting

Thank you. I've updated the page.
