Well I have to comment a little.
Porting Jaguar games to Falcon is likely a huge project. The fact that the Jaguar has DSP and Blitter doesn't ease up anything, rather the opposite.
Both are very much unlike what we have in the Falcon, the Jaguar blitter is far more sophisticated (can draw polygon primitives with gouraudshading for example). The DSP has, as I understand a compeltely different instruction set and different methods of accessing main ram than the Falcon.
Lastly, and the real killer. The Falcon video memory is totally useless compared to the Jaguars. Check games like Rayman - full overscan, 16bit graphics with three layer parallax in one frame. Impossible on Falcon even if the code/chips were compatible.
Porting ST/e games to the Jaguar seems to be easier. My friend from Unique Development converted the entire Obsession pinball to Jaguar from getting the JagKit to a functional game in only a matter of a few weeks. And still this is a pretty hardware bashing game for being STe..

What's the anti-troll code?
That's your personal code to be able to add comments and messages on the dhs.nu site.
Don't have a code or forgot it? Fix it here.
