Atari Jaguar Gamebase

[Emulador]

Hi,

just plan to create a Gamebase (based on Gamebase Frontend v1.2) for the Atari Jaguar.
It will be my first Gamebase, therefore i chose a system with less content

I will start with the Games listed on AtariAge, then check for more content, e.g. Demos and Prototypes (DAT file will be used so you can build your Game Collection from your source).
Screenshots, Box Scans, Overlays and Manuals will be part as well.

I know that the Emulation is not very good, but VJ works at least from the command line, therefore is easy to use from Gamebase (i hope)


Please give me your view on this project:

Does it make sense at all?
What else should/could be in?
Can you contribute information about rare games, e.g. Size and CRCs for the DAT file?

Version 1 will - hopefully - be released before end of this year on UG (if you don't stop me from doing it )


Cheers
...and thanks for your comments

Sounds great!
Good luck.

Yeah Good Luck and i'm looking foreward to test teh GB!

Yeah and that's still a problem there's not e real good working Jag Emu, so hopefully it will work well wit VJ.

Edit : Btw Just check VJ Site. Seems it's not dead yet. Maybe there will be a new release soon ?

Version 1.0 of the Atari Jaguar Gamebase is now available on Underground-Gamer

It is quite complete, with many Extras and some general Atari Jaguar Bonus, so please check it out and let me know any issues.

This is my last full release though, as i now plan to start a Gambase Reloaded project in Python with Qt, to give the Gamebase Frontend a new Look and make the database more flexible.
If i'll ever get this (freeware) done, i let you know.

Maybe there will be some interest from the GB64 team as well when they see first results
Currently i only have some ideas, not even a mockup


Let's see - i will hopefully come back to that in January

I'm not sure about your English but I think your asking how to select a specific Gemus script per game.

If you right-click on the game entry and select "GEMUS 'key=value' pairs" then type in "emu=[name of required gemus script]" and hit OK.

With project tempest script default (add_clp (gamepathfile%%)) does not start automatically like the games with other emulators.
Even with jagulator 1.51.
That is why I need a script that would automatically start the games with project tempest.
Sorry but I'm not good at English

I had a look at this, the games are not being extracted to the game-file extraction folder when using project tempest - does anyone know why?

[.mad.]

the project Tempest emulator has no command line,
only the Registry is used.

add BIN to emulators ini file

[Project Tempest v0.95]
UseShortFilenames=0
UseDefaultTypes=0
SupportedTypes=jag;cdi;j64;Bin
EmulatorPathFile=C:\Program Files\GameBase\Atari Jaguar\Emulators\Project Tempest\PT.exe
ScriptFile=Project Tempest.txt
WaitFinish=1

this script works for me
you might have to select working DIR
running manually once from main menu.
eeprom path
C:\GBGame\0


script

Code: Select all

Run_Emulator_Send_Keys([3]{Alt}{down}[-1]{Enter}[1]%gamepathfile%[-20]{Enter}[1]||50)

[luca1976]

.mad thank you
I have solved the problem thanks to the scritp that you send me

[OX]

I see what you did .mad. but for some reason for me the game does'nt extract at all to the extraction dir when using Project Tempest, any ideas?

[.mad.]

from GameBase press CRTL+O
for frontend options.

and check the DIR is set.

your tempest rom must be zipped up for it to work.
if you are linking a .BIN file. it can't extract it to the folder.

in your emulators.ini file make sure ZIP;RAR;7Z;TAR; ect
are removed from SupportedTypes /File types.


show me all your setup files so i can see the problem.
ini's script...

maybe you ROM is corrupt?

[OX]

maybe you ROM is corrupt?

Sorted it - was just an old version of winrar causing havoc.

Here's a little update on Project Tempest GEMUS as it needed 2 down keys to select cdi games:-

If GameType CONTAINS(j64||jag||bin)
;Run Cart
Run_Emulator_Send_Keys([3]{ALT}{DOWN}[-1]{ENTER}[1]%gamepathfile%[-20]{ENTER}[1]||10)
Else
;Run CD image
Run_Emulator_Send_Keys([3]{ALT}{DOWN}{DOWN}[-1]{ENTER}[1]%gamepathfile%[-20]{ENTER}[1]||10)
End If
