🌍️ Wikipedia :
The Atari Jaguar is a video game console that was released by Atari Corporation in 1993. It was the last to be marketed under the Atari brand until the release of the Atari Flashback in 2004. It was designed to surpass the Mega Drive/Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and the Panasonic 3DO in processing power. Although launched one year earlier, it was eventually in competition with the Sega Saturn, the PlayStation, and other consoles that made up the fifth generation of video game consoles. The console was first released in New York City and San Francisco in 1993, and the rest of the US in early 1994. Although it was marketed as the first 64-bit gaming system, the Jaguar proved to be a commercial failure and prompted Atari to leave the home video game console market. Despite its commercial failure, the Jaguar has a dedicated fan base that produces homebrew games for it. It was the last console from an American company until the 2001 introduction of Microsoft's Xbox.
Technical specifications
Jaguar is a custom chip set primarily intended to be the heart of a very high-performance games/leisure computer. It may also be used as a graphics accelerator in more complex systems, and applied to workstation and business uses. As well as a general purpose CPU, Jaguar contains four processing units. These are the Object Processor, Graphics Processor, Blitter, and Digital Sound Processor. Jaguar provides these blocks with a 64-bit data path to external memory devices, and is capable of a very high data transfer rate into external dynamic RAM.
Processors
• "Tom" Chip, 26.59 MHz
⚬ Graphics processing unit (GPU) – 32-bit RISC architecture, 4 KB internal cache, all graphics effects are software based.
⚬ Core has some additional instructions intended for 3D operations
⚬ Object Processor – 64-bit non-programmable; provides all video output from system.
⚬ Blitter – 64-bit high speed logic operations, z-buffering and Gouraud shading, with 64-bit internal registers.
⚬ DRAM controller, 8, 16, 32 and 64-bit memory management
• "Jerry" Chip, 26.59 MHz
⚬ Digital Signal Processor – 32-bit RISC architecture, 8 KB internal cache
⚬ Similar RISC core as the GPU, additional instructions intended for audio operations
⚬ CD-quality sound (16-bit stereo)
⚬ Number of sound channels limited by software
⚬ Two DACs (stereo) convert digital data to analog sound signals
⚬ Full stereo capabilities
⚬ Wavetable synthesis, FM synthesis, FM Sample synthesis, and AM synthesis
⚬ A clock control block, incorporating timers, and a UART
⚬ Joystick control
• Motorola 68000 "used as a manager".
⚬ General purpose 16/32-bit control processor, 13.295 MHz
Other Jaguar features
• RAM: 2 MB on a 64-bit bus using 4 16-bit fast page mode DRAMs
• Storage: ROM cartridges – up to 6 MB
• DSP-port (JagLink)
• Monitor-port (Composite/S-Video/RGB)
• Antenna-port (UHF/VHF) Fixed at 591 MHz in Europe
⚬ Not present on French model
• Support for ComLynx I/O
• NTSC/PAL machines can be identified by their power LED colour, Red = NTSC, Green = PAL

L'ATARI Jaguar est une console de jeu 16 bits épaulée par 2 co-processeurs (l'un dénommé "Tom", un GPU RISC 32 bits, l'autre dénommé "Jerry", un DSP RISC 32 bits) sortie en 1993.
🌍️ Wikipedia :
La Jaguar est une console de jeux vidéo de salon à cartouches datant de 1993, disposant d'une ludothèque limitée, et qui n'a pas connu un grand succès malgré sa technologie innovante. C’est la dernière console produite par Atari1.
Spécifications techniques
