Or small FIFO to allow loading the blitter registers in advance, so the GPU and blitter could be decoupled much better. And a tiny buffer on the blitter to allow it to reuse extra textures loaded with 64-bit reads without having to hit DRAM every time (Carmack himself said it should have had this). Like a tiny instruction buffer to keep the 68k from hogging the bus so much. The tragic thing about the Jaguar is that it could have been pretty significantly better with a few minor changes/fixes.

On a technology level it's not really fair to use media hype because the media didn't make hardware.and hardware was going through leaps and evolution from 1993 to 1994 alone before several leagues were jumped from 1995 to 1996.Įdit: iirc the impression I got from JC making doom was that he had fun or enjoyed it.or something. I believe I still have two print magazines that mention and might have an interview with John Carmack about Doom Jaguar. The media at the time did have some coverage but as far as the actual games.ehh did I mention I actually purchased Tempest 2000? Unfortunately my plans to get a Jaguar fell apart so I only purchased Tempest 2000 despite having many print magazines with some detailed information and some references to notable devs like Jeff Minter (hope I spelled that right) who made a new version of Defender before making Tempest 2000.then he made a media player effect that was supposed to be for the Jaguar CD. What I'm trying to say is 'everyone wanted texture mapped 3d' is most likely not accurate until way after PlayStation launched in North America and when most people realized what that was. Jaguar's life cycle was very brief.I can't recall if it barely lasted as long as the 32X which in part was initiated by Sega of America to fight off Jaguar competition wide.

Don't take this the wrong way but back when 3D0, Jaguar, Saturn and PlayStation came out (with PlayStation being the dark horse) 3d hardware technology that was designed and developed just could not really deliver or wasn't really designed for texture mapped 3d unless advanced software development by top programmers were involved.
