Without proof, 1993 and sold for <abbr title="$432that edit is useless.15 in 2018 money">$249.99</abbr>. It had Oh right tilt sensors or whatever, literally no fucks are given about such a Motorola 68000 CPU and 2 custom RISC CPUsfeature. It has 2MB Have any of RAM. Despite the intense marketing efforts by Atariyou actually tried this emulator? Because it's shit in almost every way, the Jaguar is, in factit has what, a 32-bit console rather than 64-bitless ram usage, again literally no fucks as a whole; only one part of its two CPUs were 64-bit. The systemit's convoluted architecture didn't help matters either, which led most developers to just use the 68000 for gameplay logic. 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)20 fucking 15.

===Comparisons===;[[Phoenix (emulator)|Phoenix]]:A newer closed-source emulator. More compatible than Virtual JaguarOh and mGBA option menus, LOL. About 95% of Jaguar titles are compatible (full list available on [http://wwwi.arts-unionimgur.rucom/node3lE72OQ.png /66 website]). No support for CD games yet. The PC version of the emulator is currently only available in Russian, but an [http://wwwi.rlauncherimgur.com/forum/showthreadfyBd5tL.php?4160-Help-with-3DO-Phoenixpng -2-8 English patch] is available.;Virtual Jaguar:An open-source emulator based on the original by the same name. It has excellent accuracy and performance but behind Phoenix. Use the link given as "git" on this page and choose the most current version from there.;[[MAME]]:Preliminary support. Some games boot but the emulation is far from perfect.;Project TempestUser: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.;[[Phoenix (emulator)Special|IrataJaguarSpecial]]: The Phoenix emulation project is released as separate emulators for Android, this is the Jaguar version. Identical compatibility to PC version according to the author. Requires fast 64-bit CPU 2GHz+ or better for full speed.

* [https://archive.org/details/AtariJaguar Full No:mGBA and VBA-M are functional (both accuracy and speed, and mGBA has an even higher compatibility and a better cheat manager than VBA-Intro romset 03M, but lacks customized hardware renders and those debug viewers for romhacking purposes -01but if we started to care about those no$gba would be the best by far, huh?-16]* [https://archiveso we can't say in absolute terms mGBA isn't recommended with a straight face). They both deserve the "recommended" tag, period.org/details/atarijaguarmanuals Console Manuals: Atari Jaguar]

::Just imagine how laughable it would be to tag DeSMume as "not recommended" just because no$gba exists, even though DeSMume can open games no$gba simply can't. Compatibility isn't a "niche feature". ::If you have a beef with mGBA, just help with its direct competitor's article (VBA-M) and all the stuff that only it can do. == VBA-M: Recommended Or Not? == Since this edit war is going on, someone explain in detail why VBA-M is not recommended anymore and yet other similar emulators like SNES9X are still recommended. [[CategorySpecial:ConsolesContributions/174.44.129.95|174.44.129.95]]22:05, 28 January 2016 (EST):Compared to mGBA, it's less accurate, less compatible, slower, and doesn't really offer any more features. Snes9x is still recommended as it's faster than bsnes/higan, and when it comes to standalones many prefer it's GUI over higan. --[[User:SonofUgly|SonofUgly]] ([[CategoryUser talk:SonofUgly|talk]]) 22:46, 28 January 2016 (EST) ::FifthI might be biased, but I wouldnt recommend VBA-generation video game consolesM with a 10 foot pole. [[User:Mudlord|Mudlord]] ([[User talk:Mudlord|talk]]) 23:23, 12 April 2016 (EDT) :::MY 2 cents: VBA-M has improved a lot, is still active developed and they are adding missing feature that mGBA supports. https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m/releases. Personal opinions: compared to higan gives a lot less headache with GBA emulation (frame sync vs audio sync) and a lot better performance. It may not accurate as mGBA and as higan, but for the avarage user, it may be the best alternative to mGBA. --[[CategorySpecial:Atari consolesContributions/212.216.160.13|212.216.160.13]]08:30, 17 November 2018 (EST) == More Emulators == Mednafen and Virtual Game Boy Advance (VGBA) do run Game Boy Advance ROMs. == What's the deal with MyBoy? == There is no explanation for it being "Not Recommended", and that's weird cause it's pretty solid for what it is and you don't have to deal with the shitty controls and bloat that comes with RetroArch. == What about Virtual Boy Advance? == Virtual Boy Advance is unreleased GB/C, VB, GBA, NDS, and 3DS emulator. Virtual Boy Advance is the unreleased mix of Gambatte, VBjin, VBA-M libretro, DeSmuME, No$GBA, VBA Link e-Reader and Citra. I think Virtual Boy Advance will be released 15 years later. --[[Special:Contributions/212.252.97.163|212.252.97.163]] ([[CategoryUser talk:Atari Jaguar 212.252.97.163|talk]]):The fuck? Virtual Boy Advance is '''NOT A VB NDS 3DS''' emulator and '''NOT A MIX OF GAMBATTE VBJIN VBA-M LIBRETRO DESMUME NO$GBA VBA LINK ER-THATS NOT EVEN A FUCKING EMULATOR?!''' --[[User:LilShootDawg|LilShootDawg]] ([[User talk:LilShootDawg|talk]]) 07:49, 5 November 2018 (EST) == Not yet emulated == These systems have not been emulated yet, such as Xbox One, RDI Halcyon and Playdia.:Cool. This is the fucking GBA emulators. --[[User:LilShootDawg|LilShootDawg]] ([[User talk:LilShootDawg|talk]]) 10:24, 5 November 2018 (EST) == VBA "The original GBA emulator." == Hi, I noticed that Visual Boy Advance is referred to as "The original GBA emulator." on this page. Is VBA the same emulator as GBAEmu which released in September 2000 before the GBA came out? https://www.zophar.net/gba/gbaemu.html [[Special:Contributions/108.162.241.29|108.162.241.29]] 23:37, 2 May 2020 (UTC) :No, [[VisualBoyAdvance#Versions|VBA was forked several times]], so calling it "the original" was meant to distinguish it from VBA-M, which is actively maintained. -[[User:FosterHaven|FosterHaven]] ([[User talk:FosterHaven|talk]]) 02:19, 3 May 2020 (UTC) ::In that case I would propose switching it to "The original VBA emulator." and adding some information about GBAEmu (as it is an interesting piece of history). [[Special:Contributions/108.162.241.29|*108.162.241.29]]23:46, 4 May 2020 (UTC) == mGBA & VBA-M == I heard that mGBA is faster and more accurate than VBA-M. Also, the "best" version of VBA-M has a broken link so is no longer avaliable for download.
