Updated BigPEmu info
The '''Atari Jaguar''' (AJ) was a fifth generation home video game console produced by [[wikipedia:Atari|Atari]] on November 23, 1993 and sold for {{Inflation|USD|249.99|1993}}. It had a Motorola 68000 CPU and 2 custom RISC CPUs. It has 2MB of RAM. Despite the intense marketing efforts by Atari, the Jaguar is, in fact, a 32-bit console with a 64-bit bus. The system'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 until the [[Atari VCS|VCS]] in 2021. There was also a CD addon called the '''Atari Jaguar CD''' (AJ-CD).
In 2000, the console's patents were released into the public domain, which effectively made it an open system - the homebrew scene for the Jaguar is particularly active compared to its competitors (e.g. the [[3DO emulators|Panasonic 3DOInteractive Multiplayer]] and [[Sega Genesis emulators|Sega 32X]]) as a result.
