$9.99 · Designed for iPad
BigPEmu is the first Atari Jaguar emulator to feature compatibility with the entire retail library, along with excellent performance and a wide variety of unique features:
• Fast.
The emulator runs the entire Jaguar retail library (with default settings) at full speed on most devices.
• Accurate.
It's the most accurate Jaguar emulator to-date, although it's still being improved all the time.
• Better than hardware.
Although the emulator defaults to settings which are catered toward compatibility and accuracy, it's capable of far more. BigPEmu enables you to play lots of Jaguar games at a full 60 frames per second for the first time ever!
• Saved states and movies.
Everything is completely deterministic, just like real life. That's right, I went there. This means that all "randomness" is also controlled by a preserved seed. BigPEmu can record movies from nothing but controller inputs, and play them back with perfect accuracy. You can even interrupt a movie's playback and start playing yourself at any point.
• Jaguar CD support.
In addition to supporting the entire retail disc library (along with Memory Track), complete hardware emulation means that the Virtual Light Machine is fully functional. Also featured is a virtual disc system with an audio loopback option, allowing the VLM to be used as a native audio/music visualizer.
• Excessive presentation detail.
There's native support for the Jaguar Game Drive's MRQ format in the software browser (as well as box art sourced from PNG files), support for global and per-game backgrounds, and even support for controller overlays! Everything about the touch overlay for the iOS port is fully customizable, from appearance to collision boxes.
• Extra device support.
Featuring emulated device support for analog controllers (both via external bank switching and the ADC), driving controllers, rotary controllers, and Team Tap. For native input devices, the iOS port supports any MFi "Extended Gamepad" type device as well as keyboards through Apple's Game Controller API.
• Glorious shaders.
The emulator comes equipped with a powerful, fully customizable postprocessing system. The system supports any type of effect you can imagine, from applying smoothing filters to simulating CRT displays.
• Per-game profiles.
Mapping the Atari Jaguar controller to anything other than a telephone with wings can get a little complicated, so you might want to switch your controller mapping up for different games. You can do that! With per-game profiles, you can automatically load up a new input scheme (or any other emulator setting) each time you load a game.
• Time travel.
Native fast forwarding and rewinding capability means you can speed forward through time or go back in time whenever you please.
• Flexible scripting.
BigPEmu features a powerful scripting system. The emulator comes with a variety of scripts to enhance popular Jaguar games in amazing ways, from analog controller support to native-resolution and stereoscopic rendering!
• The usual.
Enjoy all of the emulator niceties you've come to expect in modern times. Automatic preservation of EEPROM, PAL support, custom boot ROM images, native support for multiple display aspect ratios, resolution scaling, custom display cropping, extremely customizable input, and a whole lot more.

• Added some more unaligned read/write edge case handling. This addresses a problem in Theme Park, possibly among other things.
• Changed some undocumented RISC instruction behavior to match some of my local hardware tests. One of these changes is known to correct an issue with object directions in Defender 2000.
• Added a timing fix for Val d'Isere Skiing and Snowboarding.
• Added more Jaguar GD functionality. Filesystem functions are stubbed out,
• Fixed a few "undefined" Blitter cases. (not known to affect any existing titles)
• All kinds of new platform/framework functionality, propagated back from BigInstinct.
• Exposed a bunch of sound spatialization functionality to the scripting API.
• Exposed MOD and MP3 playback to the scripting API.
