The '''Atari Jaguar''' (AJ) was a fifth generation home video game console produced by [[wikipedia:Atari|Atari]] in 1993. Despite the intense marketing efforts by Atari, the Jaguar is, in fact, a 32-bit console rather than 64-bit, as a whole; only one part of its two CPUs were 64-bit. The console would prove to be the final home console release for Atari, before releasing plug-and-play versions of their older games. There was also a CD addon called the '''Atari Jaguar CD''' (AJ-CD).

;Project Tempest:Was the first ever working Atari Jaguar emulator. It emulates some games, but most have issues. As its name suggests it was primarily made for Tempest 2000, with other games as secondary goals. Project Tempest is the first and only(?) Jaguar emulator that supports Jaguar CD games, but only two are compatible; Primal Rage and Baldies (the latter has sound distortion though). It has not been updated since 2004.

Overview

xemu is an active fork of the XQEMU project, which is based on the very popular and highly actively maintained QEMU full system emulator project. xemu is an low-level, full-system emulator which emulates the actual hardware of the Xbox.

Compatibility

The announcements thread in the official Discord channel of this xemu emulator (See External Links below) regularly posts updates on progress of user tests and compatibility levels. After more than 60% of the Xbox games catalog were tested most recently as of January 2021, the percentage of those games that are playable or perfect is 30% or over.

Setting Up

In order to actually run xemu, you must have a copy of the stuff that a real Xbox needs when it turns on, check out the getting started section on the official wiki for instructions.

Unlike all other Xbox emulators (with the exception of XQEMU), xemu will only load games as disk images in the ISO format. Redump ISOs currently must be adjusted slightly using the instructions in the Getting Started guide. Games as extracted folders in the "HDD Ready" format may be converted to ISOs using extract-xiso. It is also possible to install a custom dashboard such as UnleashX that supports installing and loading these games from the emulated hard drive.
