What's new

BigPEmu v1.16 released!

Created by Rich Whitehouse, BigPEmu is the first Atari Jaguar and Jaguar CD emulator to offer compatibility with the entire commercially available cartridge library and offers excellent performance and a wide variety of unique features.

It should be noted that at the base it was a closed source emu which was integrated into the Atari50 compilation. Without a shadow of a doubt, Jaguar's best emulator in front of Phoenix (which remains the best 3DO emulator), the VirtualJaguar, Mame and everything else.

The changes are as follows:

– The iOS port is done, get it on the App Store here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bigpemu/id6737359949 Special thanks to neurocrash for putting so much time into testing the iOS build for me.
– Lots of new interface including (a touch-based interface option), courtesy of the mobile port work. All of this functionality can be accessed through the menu on non-mobile platforms.
– Multi-touch device support has been added for the Windows (x64 and ARM64) platforms, in order to take advantage of the touch interface work done for the mobile ports.
– Added a “Pad Wheel” feature, which can be activated through the attachment system.
– Support for a new BigPImage disc format. BigPImage files can be created from existing images or physical discs through the developer menu. Before anyone asks, CHD support looks problematic for quite a few reasons (mostly pertaining to the likelihood of image-based performance problems and implementation bloat to the format), making this new format a much more optimal choice for the particular needs of this emulator.
– Added stereoscopic rendering support to the AvP script.
– Added a new DOOM script with throttling and music options.
– Added a new turbo/rapid fire script.
– Added a “Factory Reset” option, as a convenient means of resetting the configuration across all categories.
– Added an option to auto-assign new input devices. Devices will not be auto-assigned if they have any existing associations with any Jaguar inputs.
– Fixed an incredible number of bugs, pertaining to both interface and emulation. Because so many fixes have been made to the emulator core in this release, I'm especially interested in finding regression bugs. Please let me know if you experience any issues which don't encounter in 1.15.
