The Atari Jaguar (AJ) was a console produced by Atari Corporation 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.
Atari Jaguar CD (AJ-CD) was a CD addon.

Emulators
- Project Tempest; This was the first ever working Atari Jaguar emulator. It emulates some games, but most have issues (bad/glitchy sound and/ or framerate). As it's name suggests it was primarily made for Tempest 2000, with other games as secondary goals. Project Tempest only supports two Jaguar CD games; Primal Rage and Baldies (the latter has sound distortion though). It haven't seen a update since 2004, so it's abandoned.
- Virtual Jaguar Is an open source emulator based on the original by the same name. It has excellent support and framerate. It is the most compatible jaguar emulator yet.
- Note; the builds for Virtual Jaguar from EmuCR doesn't seem to work, use the link given as "git" on this page and choose the most current version from there.
