On Thursday, July 10th 2025, a new build of the Atari Jaguar WIP core was released by developer GreyRogue.  It is available on the MiSTer FPGA Discord and is pinned in the Atari Jaguar channel.  It is another step in improving JagCD support. CD game loading and start-up speed is greatly improved.  Jeff Minter's Virtual Light Machine (VLM)  functionality is top-notch now although it still uses the load-the-whole-thing-to-RAM method for media files rather than the new stream-on-demand method used for game CDs.  Enjoy my demonstration video!  Big thanks to GreyRogue for all of his fine work.

YouTuber ctrl-alt-rees made a fantastic video showing using Bazzite Linux on the Atari VCS.  I got an Atari VCS at the tail end of last year but I never used it because I couldn't get it to see my home wifi for some reason.  Hope to get this going to I can actually use it.  Enjoy!
