Atari Jaguar Game Drive Review - (Flash Cart) - Adam Koralik 

Where did you learn to fly? Where did you learn to fly? Where did you learn to fly? Where did you learn to fly? ...Where’d you learn to be an asshole?! -AVGN

Don’t own a Jaguar, nor do I plan on owning one, but I’ll still watch

It blows my mind stuff like this even exists. I knew ONE kid in the 90s who had an Atari Jaguar when they were still making them. I just remember him having Tempest 2000 and Alien vs Predator, but I know he had at least half a dozen other games for it. Then I never saw one again until I saw one at a retro game store in my area 2 years ago. I've always been on the fence about wanting to own one. Now due to price it's not going to happen, sadly. Growing up the three systems I wanted were Turbografx, Jaguar and Sega Saturn. And, yes, all my Nintendo, Playstation and PC Master Race friends thought I was insane for wanting them. Of those I did eventually get a Saturn so that's been my focus, but if I won the lottery I'd get the other two in a heartbeat. Still, getting a system and then one of these is VERY tempting.

I love how you got yours for free and people with original pre-orders were canceled without notice. 🤣

I remember Electronics Boutique selling Jaguars off in the UK for £99

*10 REASONS TO OWN A JAG* Alien vs Predator DOOM Wolfenstein 3D Super Burnout Tempest 2K Power Drive Rally Iron Solider Raiden Ultra Vortek Rayman ... unfortunately I've never played Iron Solider 2, BattleSphere, Skyhammer, or Battlemorph. I personally also enjoy Zool 2 & NBA JAM TE 😎

I just bought a jaguar and I NEED this flashcart. Hope we have new units on the way.

And the Jag CD progress is flying along too

That's cool, not a system I'm crazy about but I like it when they put these all in one carts out

I’ve been trying to get my hands on one of these for about *half a year now! Pretty dope

9:25 Is "International Sensible Soccer" as good as "NBA Jam Poppycock Basketball?"

I'm always impressed how all your videos are one cut. keep up the good work.

I've been watching you since 2013, still amazed how you still do the same type of videos in the same place, I love your channel

Somebody should develop one that utilizes the cartridge slot on the Saturn. and we're not talking about the slot in the back or getting rid of your CD drive but rather using that cartridge slot that you're actually replay goes into and it also allow it to do game saves and one and four Meg ram upgrades. Cuz we know it is possible to run games off of the Saturn cartridge slot because there are games that run partially off the disc and partially off the cartridge and of course action replay runs off the cartridge as well

Thank you very much for this excellent video. I was one of the first to acquire the Jaguar GD in Atari Age, I had many doubts about this cartridge and thanks to you they are clarified. Thanks again!

A great way to experience the Jaguar for cheap since some Jaguar games are getting very rare and expensive these days. Plus it’s great that homebrew developers are starting to make games for it as well. Although it’s missing the CD games..

i boght my jag with CD attachment a few years after the console was discontinued and ill never get rid of it...

There was a missed opportunity to make a “Do The Math!” joke when talking about putting all games on one cart.

Damn, you Americans and Canadians are so lucky with your retro stuff.

I’ve got a jag, jag cd and the retro hq flash cart and it’s really worth it. Great to know jag cd support is coming as it’ll spare wear and tear on the jag cd too. Great video Adam!

My friend has a Jaguar that I can buy for 100 bucks. With the cart, it’s tempting. Also it’s funny when you say that Atari makes misunderstood things. Seems to be a trend that even affects the new VCS despite them being a completely different company.

I need this for my Jag, but ugh 228 US dollars converted from 168 British pounds is pricey. I have about 10 Jaguar games. I’m waiting for a Virtualboy flash cart.

This is awesome, its a great way to play games in your collection without using the original , which can be hella clutch if it's a super valuable one.

I've been waiting for a Jaguar flash cart for soooo long. This is awesome.

A Flash Cart for the Jaguar, neat. I don't need it, but for those that do, enjoy! Great review Adam!

Cool product. Would love a jaguar or jaguar cd but never see them ever in the wild. Awesome video.

This is so awesome! I own an Atari jaguar with around just under half of the cartridge library. I've been wanting to play games like Atari Karts & I finally can.

Now that this is available on the Jag and there's 2 modern SD adapters for the Atari 7800, the only 2 consoles left without modern SD solutions are the Mattel Intellivision and the Vectrex [okay, maybe that RCA console and the Bally Astrocade too]. I would recommend going to the AtariAge website Forums - specifically the Jaguar section - since there's an active group of coders porting Atari ST games to the Jag and enhancing them. They'll also do cool stuff like add the audio from different platforms if the game was available on multiple platforms and since the guys doing the ports have mastered the Jaguar DSP to play back audio from numerous sound chips.

Right now im on the retro towers waiting list and i have been on the atari age waiting list for nearly a year now, SELL ME ONE DAMMIT!

LoL imagine what it would be like to have all PS4 games on a single disc ... Imagine the size required 😂

Speaking of Sega, I really really want Paprium. But that price is way too high for me. This is pretty cool man, I never had a Jag, but sold one for a friend once before they got pricey. I still feel bad about that...

I have the retro HQ for the Atari Lynx II with the case. Super happy with it. I was on the waiting list for almost a year.

"It's all in the manual if you don't wanna hear some nerd on youtube rambling about it" That's... why I'm here

I'd love to see a Jaguar mini console with the best hits. All I would need but cool to see these devices coming out rather rapidly.

Why do I need this I have and reviewed all the games for this system 😃

Aww man i feel bad, you mentioned the neo Geo and it's cart being a necessity, I have had my Geo almost 10 years and I only got my first game 4 months ago

My biggest and must fallow my everyone rule wean dealing with flash carts and ODEs form anyone for any system is this. You never format the SD card or USB Drive with FDisk on Windows, Disk Unity on MAC, or what ever the version of Linux or Unix you use has preinstalled.

I regret cancelling my pre order for this thing. I'm a HUGE Jaguar fan so this is something I'm gonna have to look out for.

Great video

Just waiting for that Atari Aston Martin cartridge baby!!!

AARRRRRGG Me Bucko be a Game Pirate and be proud of it , YYAAAARRRR Game Drive for everyone ⚔️🏆😸👍👍

Two years have passed since this video. Are there any updates? Does it now support Jaguar CD games?

I had a friend back then when it was new with the Jaguar & CD. It was fun but, I still have nightmares of the controller. I still kinda want one.

I would like to see a video about the Atari VCS 800 from you. I know it's not really relevant, but when it was announced I was hyped for it. And I think they did a good job with their possibilities.

I ordered a year and a half ago before creator announced not fulfilling orders directly. Now I've read will be sold by stone age gamer starting in February so I will finally pick it up then!!!!!

All the cool kids are playing *Jag*

I need this man, but no stock

Ah, RetroTowers. Turbografx flash tech has certainly come far since your 2012 vid on RetroTowers’ initial flash circuit board designed like a Hucard...

Adam up to his usual tricks again.

That's wonderful. I've a Jag sitting there for years without being able to get games cause there're so uncommon and expensive... I only played it thanks to lendings from my collector friends. There're some very good games, like DooM, Rayman, Tempest 2000, ecc..., on it and a funny number of strange, mostly unknown exclusive games to try and discover. Stuff like Atar Karts, White Men Can't Jump, Skyhammer, ecc...

I'd really like to get this but I'm probably going to hold out 'til it supports Jaguar CD. Great videos as always though.

I wound also remand not using the Windows F disk app or the MACs disk unity app on them; download the SD Formater app form the SD card aslotion's site.

I bought a Jaguar and a n64 for £20 from game station when game bought them out and they were clearing all the retro out.still got them

And as for expenses, the Jaguar is definitely in the NeoGeo range. Just think about the cost of holding a Battlesphere tournament with 16 Jaguars networked together. First, you'd need 16 Jaguar consoles. For ideal gaming, you'd want 2 Jaguar ProControllers per console [for a total of 32 controllers for 32 players]. Before there was that homebrew project that ran a modern reproduction run of ProControllers, those suckers were selling used for $500 a piece on eBay. Then if you wanted an ICD Catbox Adapter for networking [there were other alternatives of course], those could also run $500 used on eBay for each, and you'd need 16 of those. And finally, you'd need 16 copies of Battlesphere on cartridge, and they could run $500 - $1,200 each depending on how lucky you were at auction if you wanted to be legal since they're still selling them "new". That's a small fortune right there...

7:40 I find it kind of ironic these flashcarts have DRM. :P

I had a Jaguar and Jaguar CD in mint condition sealed in black trash bags for safe keeping and kept in the garage. My dad contracted dementia and mistook it for garbage... along with the rest of my museum...

Wait the Jaguar CD can play carriage games from the port. I had to remove mine to play games. I know the port works because it saves to the memory track(weird name for the memory card). Also I assume this but does save functionality work?

This sounds really cool and I would buy one. Too bad I put my Jaguar in storage years ago and I can't find it anymore.

Hey Adam. Could you ask your hardware contacts about where I might be able to source some gamecube connectors? I really don't want to use parts from a real cube for this project.

Do they make hdmi adapters for it or were any of them modded just like the Amiga CD32 one?

For owners of an original Jaguar it Is a must own. No real person can afford the original cartridges I guess. I tried out Atari Karts and Alien vs Predator yesterday for the first time, and I was positively surprised by both games btw.

I hope they do update it to play it with the Jaguar cd because I am one of those people as well. The Atari Jaguar cd is fragile as is and apply and taking off the cd unit isn't recommended. They just dropped some of these on their website so I ordered one. I hope they fix this issue.

Hello My Friend👍😊 I enjoyed watching your video.

hello is it normal to have a buzz hum sound in the menu of game drive and after start game it goes away?

Gah, I don’t ever seem to get notified for over a year now. Does thing ever get restocked or I just miss notifications?

Speaking of homebrews, I wish Atari Owl didn't get cancelled. :(

Did the Jaguar CD firmware update happen?

I miss my Jaguar. This thing is cool. But where do you get the ROMs?

which do you better have the original Arcada or arcade1up?

Hey Adam, i know its unrelated to Atari Jaguar, but after watching your last Neo Geo video i got thinking, i'd be willing to lend out my AES with Uni-Bios 4.0 and MVS to AES cartridge converter if you wanted to do an episode on: Uni-Bios & its features MVS compatibility on AES NG cartridges having 6 different versions per Rom Cart (3 MVS versions & 3 AES versions) Let me know as i think that would make an interesting video.

Does the Jaguar Gamedrive also work with a Jaguar CD attached?

Nice 👍

Never thought this would actually happen considering how poorly that thing sold, still cool nonetheless

Managed to get 😎🤟

Pretty expensive for me since I own a lot of the good jag games, the main one I'm missing is alien vs predator.

I'm buying this on payday just started collecting jaguar its so expensive this is the way to go

I sold my atari jaguar about 4... 5 years ago and regret it to this day, even more so now. Adam I have a question..... Did they remove s-video from the coloured pal nintendo 64s? I have the red transparent pal nintendo 64.

web-site is down. Where is working store and how much?

It been running Cd based games for long time now ;*)

Plain' some JAG!! 🐱‍👤

Cool video tech talk lol yes ok yep oh ok adam

Now all we need is a Jaguar clone system. Maybe Analogue can do one of their own? I’d be hyped considering their other clones are pretty sweet. Hell if they did the Neo Geo, they can do the Jaguar.

I love the Atari Jaguar!!!!!!

Hey man good vid as always !! I wanna get it but any info on getting the roms let me kno if there’s a good site !! Please hit me back

I miss my jaguar 64 and iron soldier and tempest 2000.😑

12:45 your buddy Orion needs to change his logo screen, it looks too similar to the one Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer uses in some of their movies

I been wanting to buy one but they are always out of stock :(

I preordered this thing like 2-3 years ago then I think it got canceled.

I never owned a Jaguar and don't know anyone who did. But I still watched all the same. Now we need a FPGA clone for those people who want to get into Jaguar gaming without the hefty price tag.

dadadada, What are your thoughts on cyberpunk 2077?

There's no Atari Jaguar emulation software, is there?

I bought panzer dragoon cuz of ur last play load and beat it in 30mins

We need an Everdrive for the Amiga CD32 next.........

200 US Dollars?

And while your at it, sell me a ym2017 cart.

Sandisk are like, the cheapest sd cards anyway, the extra dollar off isnt worth the risk from china.

I really wonder at what point in the development cycle did somebody raise their hand and say "should we really be making a game console that perfectly resembles a toilet?". Atari lost its way when instead of making a proper follow up to the 2600 they tore up their script in 1978 or so and decided to follow Apple into the far more lucrative home PC market. They ended up making an amazing line of PC's but they lost all their video game console momentum with that fateful decision. As a "big picture" Atari fan I wish they had never made the Jaguar TBH.

"Because of how expensive the Jaguar has become, especially with the CD add-on" What? I gave just over $200 for both, just how bad is it? *Checks Ebay. .............wtf. *Remembers that purchase was 10+ years ago.

so expensive tho, I'll definitely wait and see if Jaguar CD is implemented first

👍
