Rich Whitehouse, a programmer and Atari Jaguar enthusiast, announced that his iOS emulator for the Jaguar is close to public release, enabling iPhone users to play iconic games like Tempest 2000. He shared a screenshot demonstrating the emulator’s progress and aims for a release next month. This development coincides with a surge of retro game emulators on iOS following Apple’s relaxed App Store policies. While the Jaguar faced commercial challenges against the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn, it maintains a loyal following, and this emulator will allow fans to enjoy its distinctive games on modern devices.
It’s alive! Still lots of work to be done, but I’m hoping to have this ready to go sometime next month. pic.twitter.com/xwsNI9Hh9P
