Atari’s Jaguar was the company’s last home console, launched in 1993 and marketed as the first “64-bit” system. Its library is small but has a devoted following, with standout titles like Tempest 2000, Alien vs Predator, and Iron Soldier. Provenance emulates the Jaguar, including Jaguar CD titles, through the Virtual Jaguar core.

Virtual Jaguar libretro is the core that powers this emulation, and it has its own site with detailed compatibility and performance data. Atari Jaguar core for RetroArch and Provenance.
