This list is a community made list documenting the compatibility of Atari Jaguar CD games on the Jaguar GameDrive.

Important Considerations

  • The CD playing feature is in beta state, so functionality is not guaranteed.
  • All CD images must be converted to .jcd format using CD2JCD (archive).
  • Even if your SD card plays normal Jaguar games without any problems and is a "name brand" card, it may have issues with CD games. If your experience with the below games differs from the listed status, try another SD card. Common issues seen with incompatible SD cards is FMVs repeating often or crashing, games crashing, freezing on transitions where data is loaded, scrambled graphics, or missing audio.
  • CD games must be loaded on the SD card contiguously. This means that any time you wish to add or remove games from the SD card, you will need to format the SD card (as FAT32), then copy all games over at once so that it is fully contiguous and not fragmented. If a game is not contiguous, the GameDrive will detect it and not attempt to run the game.
