Jaguar emulator w/ screen shots

[Gamereviewgod]

Do any of the Jaguar emulators take screen shots? I've tried two of them now and neither offer it. Atariage had one they said was decent, but the site they linked to was no longer there (Jagulator).

I know I could go the "print screen" route, but my laptop, for whatever reason refuses to do that.

Is there a Jaguar emulator that actually works?


I've always put the Jag with the 3DO and Saturn as systems that can't be emulated worth a damn.

There is one Jag emulator that works with about 70% of the commercially released games but NONE of the games are emulated 100% with either screwed up sound or graphics.

There NO good Saturn or 3DO emulators that I know of the ones that are out there arent worth a damn.

So far the systems that are the easiest to emulate are the cartridge systems all the way up to N64.

CD systems are far from being perfectly emulated(other than Sega CD and Turboduo) even with all the PSX emulators out there.

I can understand why Jag emulators and Saturn emulators suck so bad.


The systems had a complicated design in how they worked. The Jag had the Tom & Jerry chips and the Saturn had like 3 different processors or whatever.


But I don't understand why there isn't a decent 3DO emulator out there.



And the thing that suprises me about the Jaguar, is the fact that the Jaguar is Atari, and true Atari fanatics are super hard core, and it's hard for me to believe that one of these guys hasn't made a decent Jag emulator.



I look forward to the day when I have some system, that has a huge freaking hard drive on it, and I have it hacked somehow, with all the emulators on it, and it can play just about everything perfectly.


The current XBOX is damn close, but I'm talking about some future system, that will basically be able to emulate just about everything. Dreamcast, etc, etc.

theres a good saturn emulator out there called girigiri, i believe it out of print but still runs most games a playable speed, i actually beat a couple saturn games on it (dragon force and panzer dragoon saga) and only ran into a couple slow parts.

yep I have a copy of that. works rather well not great but it's ok.

All I could get girigiri to do was crash. My system is rather slow though.

When it comes to emulation, I can't even mess with it, if it isn't about 90 percent accurate.


From what I understand, giri giri is about 70 percent accurate. Sometimes a little better, sometimes a little worse. For me, that just doesn't cut it. I'm not going to bother with it, unless the emulation is so good that you begin to forget that you are emulating something.


When it comes to emulating systems like the NES, Super NES, Genesis , 32X, Sega CD, stuff like that, the emulation is pretty much perfect. N64 emulation can be very good sometimes too, with the right hardware. But if the emulation is very spotty and jittery and slow, I just can't fade it.
