    Jared didn't mention that the Jaguar's co-processors were named "Tom and Jerry". "Tom" was for graphics processing (GPU) and "Jerry" was for audio processing (SPU).
    Programming for the system was difficult, as graphics and audio processing requests had to be sent to two entirely different cores, in a time before multi-core processing was very well-known or popular.

    • @Gatorade69
      @Gatorade69 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      It also had a Motorola 68000 which I hear many developers used instead of Tom and Jerry and that's why most games looked like a 16bit game. Would be cool to see what the Jag was truly capable of.

    • @TECH097
      @TECH097 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      ​@@Gatorade69The problem is In order to live up to it's fullest potential we'd need to manufacture 100% stable Jaguars and Jaguar CDs that don't break if you look at them funny.

    • @TheNuje
      @TheNuje 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      ​@@Gatorade69 Yup! Most consoles and computers worked like this back then.
      CPU: It reads all of the instructions, does all of the math, and it's connected to the cartridge slot (where it gets instructions from the stuff programmers wrote), the system's RAM (memory so it can keep track of what's going on, like how many lives you have, your score, precisely where every abstract object is on screen, what level you're on, etc.)
      Controller: You press buttons. CPU looks at it 30-60 times a second, and runs or doesn't run code as appropriate.
      Video chip: Every frame, CPU updates it to tell it what to display
      Sound chip: Every frame, CPU updates it to change the sound coming out.
      On the Jaguar, the video and sound chips both were able to do their own thing. In fact, they were able to do a whole lot more, and faster, than the CPU! The CPU was meant to just coordinate that, and handle controller inputs, mostly. The video chip could do its own calculations, AND then tell itself what to output, and similar with the sound chip. But since that was unprecedented, and a large % of programmers back then knew how to make a Motorola 68000 (the Jaguar's CPU) do what they want, they just took the easy route to push games out the door. Ironically, just a few years later, 3d graphics accelerators started coming out for PCs, before PCs were shipped with good 3d capable graphics cards at all. Those cards would offload much of that 3d graphics calculations onto themselves, freeing up the CPU to do more.
      At the end, the Jaguar's faults were not having good development tools out to take advantage of this unique and powerful (for the time) architecture, and there were apparently some hardware glitches in Tom and Jerry, although I haven't looked into the extent of them yet. I do know they're fairly well documented, but I'm not sure how easy they are to work around. If they were easy to work around, and the development tools were there, it could have been a great success. It was aggressively priced for its time!

    Clayfighter was the only fighting game my parents would let own, mostly because they thought if it was clay figures and not "real people" it would be less violent.

    • @monstersociety3360
      @monstersociety3360 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Historically speaking, that's actually why a LOT of parents bought Clay Fighter. No blood, no humans punching & kicking, just silly cartoony antics. Something similar happened with that game "Chex Quest" a little while later, too. Chex Quest was All the shooty-shooty fun & early 3D environments of DOOM, but none of the violence. Me having been born in 1994 & very much being a 2000's kid, it kind of makes me wonder what would have happened if a game in the 2000's had advertised itself as "All the fun of Grand Theft Auto, but no violence or s*x" - the closest thing we ever got to anything like that was "The Simpsons: Hit & Run" which didn't advertise itself that way, but kind of was that for the most part. Also, Bully by Rockstar games. No joke, I actually got my Mom to let me play the Wii port of Bully: Scholarship Edition by saying "But Mom, you're FIGHTING bullies in the game, you're not THE BULLY, you're fighting the bullies! It's not THAT bad!" (Bully still had its fair share of controversy, though.)
      Not only that, but in a lot of ways, Clay Fighter was such a product of its time. I mean, it was all about claymation! That was still common in the 90's, but ever since CGI became mainstream? Not as much.

    About the Jaguar’s "Do the Math" tagline. The Jaguar did not have a 64-bit processor. It had two 32-bit ones. But they claimed 32-bit plus 32-bit is 64-bit. It isn't. It's 33-bit, because bits are measured in binary. In binary each digit can only be a 0 or a 1, unlike base 10, which has numbers 0 through 9 for every digit. A 32 digit number in binary is equal to 4,294,967,295. If you double that number, that’s the same as 33 digits in binary. That’s how binary works. Each additional digit allows for a number twice as large as the number before it. If the Jaguar actually was 64-bit, that would be 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.

    • @ArneChristianRosenfeldt
      @ArneChristianRosenfeldt 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The manual states that a lot of Jaguar is deliberately made 16 bit for fast access by the 68k. The rest is 32 bit for easy access by 68k. Only DMA runs at 64 Bit.
      I think that full 64 Bit would have made the chip too big. The blitter and OP even read mini-bursts of 2 * 64 bit. There are some tricky flags in the OP to interleave these both. It would have been easier to have a fixed pattern for the memory interleave ( 4*64bit into cache) and then use 16 bit star topology inside the chip to save on transistors.
      Modern bursts match the latency. On Jaguar it would have created a slow N64-like CPU if bursts could not abort. So have two bits per cached byte: stale and dirty .

    Ranma 1/2: Hard Battle is also the second Ranma 1/2 game to come out of Japan, but the first to be using the license, as the first game, Ranma 1/2: Chounai Gekitou Hen, was Americanized into the very bland Street Combat, also on Super Nintendo, released in April of 1993, which I believe you guys already covered!

    The funniest part about cybermorph is that for some reason there's 2 versions of the rom floating about because atari couldn't be bothered to print more copies of the bigger 2mb Cart that was used for the pack ins... so they chaped out and made all retail versions the more repetitive 1MB version instead which has less everything (its also the reason why the green lady says "where did you learn to fly" a lot)

    • @medes5597
      @medes5597 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There's an even dumber fact about Cybermorph - it was designed for Panther hardware, not Jaguar which is why it has noticeably worse draw distances than any other 3D Jaguar game. It was supposed to be the Panthers pack in title and was developed on a panther dev kit. When the panther was dropped, Atari decided to keep the pack in title and the devs of cybermorph were like "oh cool, so we'll upgrade the visuals and stuff for the Jaguar release?" and Atari decided "nah. Let's not do that."
      So their pack in title was a game designed for a less powerful console, that doesn't make use of most of the Jaguars more advanced 3D capabilities, that they further ruined by cutting the size of most of its carts in half... And they were surprised the Jaguar didn't do well?
      That was what Atari really thought people's first impression of the console should be. And it wasn't like Atari was struggling at that point. Their computer business was easily finding development. They were just being cheap and it cost them dearly.

    It still blows my mind Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle even came out here, particularly before the anime started coming out on home video (I don’t think the anime hit VHS in the States until 94 IIRC). I’m glad we got it, I’m just curious why.

    • @Code7Unltd
      @Code7Unltd 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      The English translation for Hard Battle had been done by Viz Media. My guess was that the game was translated to promote the series of then-upcoming TV series videotapes.
      It was also the most popular game that Redwood city-based DTMC published before fizzling out in 1994 with... Lester the Unlikely.

    Total Carnage for the SNES was also censored big time. GamePro didn’t even mention the censorship in their review, and EGM didn’t review it at all. It’s almost as if this problem was covered up.

    As an early anime fan, Ranma 1/2 was one of the only shows that was easily available in the US thanks to Viz, and we were bombarded with ads for "Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle", considering it was the only authentic anime-based fighter out there; it was "Dragon Ball: Final Bout" before..."Dragon Ball: Final Bout" for us. But unfortunately with how far behind the anime and manga was in the States, it took forever to even get to some of the characters in this game. (not to mention the sequel that went beyond the anime's era and included characters like Herb)

    Story time of my first encounter with the Atari Jaguar.
    My dad wanted to check out this new electronics store called "Another Universe". It was more of a showroom than a store as I don't remember any shelves? But hey, I was 9.
    We walked through the different rooms with music booming. I saw the room for Sega and distinctly remember seeing Earthworm Jim for the Sega CD. Then we went to the Atari Jaguar demo room. It had a demo of Rayman. I was hooked. Thankfully Rayman was out for the PlayStation, which I got to rent from Blockbuster much later.
    After that, I never thought of the Jaguar again. Just as well, I supposed.

    I've owned an Atari Jaguar since 2010. I strongly recommend hooking up that Jaguar and giving it a go. It's a VERY unique experience, for better and for worse. LOL. For better: if you can get the Atari Jaguar version of NBA Jam, do it, The game works REALLY well with the Jaguar controller (it feels good and makes it easy to push players around in the game). Also, Brutal Sports Football is A LOT of fun. It's Jaguar exclusive and plays like a beat 'em up with football thrown in. Also, Troy Aikman football is better on Jaguar (it's kind of like old school Madden, but I think it plays better). Also, ULTRA VORTEK is really awesome. Yeah, it's a Mortal Kombat rip-off, but it's AWESOME!!! For worse: BUBSY!!! Bubsy Fractured Furry Tales (and Atari Jaguar exclusive) is freaking HORRIBLE!!! One of the worse games I have ever played. Definitively play that. LOL. Also, Kasumi Ninja is TERRIBLE. It's the other Mortal Kombat rip-off on the Jaguar, but unlike Ultra Vortek (which is fun), Kasumi Ninja is freaking TERRIBLE. Then there are games which are "okay". Cybermorph falls under that category for me. I don't think it's terrible, but it has problems. LOL.
    SIDE NOTE:
    Make sure the cartridge slot and cartridges are CLEAN. The Jaguar is very sensitive and if there is a tiny bit of dirt, it won't work. Q-tips with a touch of a little rubbing alcohol helps a lot.

    What really killed the Jaguar was that IBM couldn't keep up with making the chips so they became unavailable during that critical launch window. By the time IBM could make the damn the Sega Saturn was on the way and the PlayStation wasn't off

    • @ArneChristianRosenfeldt
      @ArneChristianRosenfeldt 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The yield was low. I still don’t know if this is due to critical signal paths or race conditions or just plain defect density. In the latter case it would have helped if most of the chip would have been cache with some way to masks defect banks.

    • @thefurthestmanfromhome1148
      @thefurthestmanfromhome1148 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      IBM only assembled, Q A tested and shipped Jaguar units.
      Fabrication plants from Toshiba and Motorola manufactured the chips, initially yields per run were as low as 40%,leaving IBM with chip shortages.

    • @ArneChristianRosenfeldt
      @ArneChristianRosenfeldt 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@thefurthestmanfromhome1148 so Motorola Design tools using snippets (macros) from Motorola DSPs in a Motorola fab, but still so buggy and low yield? I thought that there were communication issues. Like for example the Pentium division bug.
      ARM knew from the start that they had to hand over their design to LSI and made it as clear as possible. LSI knew that ARM had no experience in semiconductor design and let their own experts check the plans.
      Using IBM for assembly only sounds very expensive. C64 was assembled in Malaysia . How can you do QA on LSI? Most quality issues were inside the chips. So you need to peek around with those needles? Or did they just run test programs like we do today to find bad chips in vintage computers?
      For such a low run, why even bother two fabs? As I understood, the engineers improved yield over the whole run. Is the Toshiba fab identical? One for Tom and one for Jerry? Or for the ROMs? Or extra small DRAM?

    Hearing the Clayfighter theme was an instant jolt of nostalgia! Clayfighter was unironically my favorite fighting game on the SNES growing up. The claymation style, the punny names, the character designs, I enjoyed it all! My favorite characters to play as were Ickybod Clay and The Blob. Such fun times~
    Naturally, when Clayfighter 2 came out, I asked for it for Christmas! And...I got Claymates, so my younger brothers could enjoy it too. Which was okay, but certainly not what I was expecting! And I never did get Clayfighter 2...
