Jet Set Radio for Mac/Linux Platforms?...

[Red Vanquish]

I mean, the only way Mac users can really enjoy the game is through Wineskin.

Which is ok, i guess. But I kinda want to put money towards this game, not feel dirty about it.
You know?

It would be nice if this game were on the other platforms as well.

The original game was developed on a Windows CE toolkit and the Katana SDK. Severely incompatible with Mac. You cannot really 'port' it. Just put it on crutches.

Linux, Not so sure. Not familiar with the architecture.

As far as i know, BLIT does not port to other PC platforms. Even this port is very 'meh' at the least. Clearly PC is not their forte.

I totally understand and it's great you want to support the series, but looks like you will have to be dirty if you don't have a X360,PS3,Vita,WinPC or a phone that still has the game on it.

Go with Vita, if you can.

Wait.... It's on the 360? o-o

Yes. It was horrendously ported a month after the PS3 release.

Well, it's the Dreamcast, what do you expect?
You're not gonna have a perfect port with software like that, you're better off porting Metroid Prime 2 echoes GC to PC! And that lag. oh god the lag.

I don't mean to sound like the rest of the azzh0les who state that gaming is best done on Windows, however I have to agree that if you want to play games on a PC then I suggest (if your Mac has the capability) duel booting with a windows partition just so you can play more windows exclusive games without having to VM them (which I find to be a dirty way of playing games).

I have gotten it in 60 fps, via Wineskin, but I keep running into the same problem.

The game is stuck moving into the top left corner.

Same issue is happening with Postal 2.

JSR has been running extremely well under Wine (on Ubuntu/Linux)... no faults about it at all, butter smooth.

I'd welcome a native port, so we can see it played on all platforms - including SteamOS!

It's not the fact it's a dreamcast game. It's the fact blit sucks at PC ports. The PS3 port is fantastic. well, the new stuff blit re-designed is still fu kking atrocious but it is playable.

+1 for Linux, please! please!

+1 for Linux-based operating systems, such as SteamOS and Ubuntu.

Jet Set Radio was one of my favorite games back in the Sega Dreamcast Machine days... I have it on my Sony PlayStation Vita, but it'd be nice to be able to play it on my PC also.

On Linux, you could use Reicast, the Dreamcast Emulator, to emulate this game. Works very well at full speed.

True, but it's not the point - gaming under Linux-based operating systems is a growing market (heck, Steam has over 2,000 titles now!), especially now that SteamOS has officially become available (i.e. non-beta) and at the end of the day, native is always going to run better...

RedStar OS best Linux.

North Korea's Linux-based operating system?

Wow. Just wow.
