BigPEmu is the first Atari Jaguar and Jaguar CD emulator to offer compatibility with the entire library of commercially sold cartridges and offers excellent performance and a wide variety of unique features.

Note that it was originally a closed source emu which was integrated into the Atari50 compilation . It is without a shadow of a doubt the best Jaguar emulator ahead of Phoenix (which remains the best 3DO emulator), VirtualJaguar, Mame and all the rest.



Changelog:

– AvP multiplayer fixes.
– Fixed some player projectile weapons not colliding with other players.
– Fixed a bunch of AI projectiles not being correctly synchronized.
– Fixed an issue which would sometimes cause AI to stop attacking.

Flycast Dojo is a fork of Flycast, a multi-platform Sega Dreamcast, Naomi and Atomiswave emulator derived from Reicast, with a focus on netplay features and replay. We intend to keep Flycast Dojo updated with the latest downstream changes made to the parent project.

Flycast Dojo can be retrieved from GitHub, or as a part of the Fightcade matchmaking service. However you obtain it, you will always have the option to use it standalone for P2P games using Match Codes over an internet matchmaking server, through a direct IP connection, or a virtual LAN like ZeroTier or Radmin.

For quick start guides, frequently asked questions, online replays, and community links where you can find people to play against, head to the Flycast Dojo site.
