What's New in BigPEmu

1.22

May 3, 2026

• Added a new "cheat_codes" script module. When this script module is active, the user will be prompted to toggle any available cheat codes (provided by cheat_codes.json) any time a software image is loaded. Cheat codes are provided for every cartridge and CD title in the Jaguar's retail library. Many of these cheat codes were adapted from jguff's BigPEmu scripting work, you can find the relevant scripts (and more) here: https://github.com/jguffer/BigPEmu_Scripts • Implemented the Blitter GPU interrupt. (mainly for developers; this functionality isn't used in any retail software) • Lots of new scripting API functionality, as well as some minor fixes/additions for existing scripts.

Best emulator I have ever used for IOS

I am so impressed by the performance and functionality of this emulator. Everything runs perfectly smooth and there are so many customization options. It’s easy to use and an amazing way to preserve an obscure piece of gaming history.

It's worth the money

Other apps don't offer Jaguar CD support nor this level of individual care for archiving this old system

Amazing app

So I just love this app because it preserves one of the most underrated consoles of all time and saves you hundreds of dollars on eBay and retail! But every time I try to download and open Baldies it says it’s not supported even though you listed CD support, so I don’t know if there’s a specific website I should use

The best

I’m still not able to get Jaguar CD to work but everything else works flawlessly

Perfection

I’ve always ran into bugs using Jaguar emulators on Android and the Mac. This one is the smoothest of them all. So far no bugs. Now that I can play it on iPhone and iPad, I gave the Android away.
