LianneJaguar64 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 During a massive clearout of the attic, my dad inadvertently threw away both of my Jaguar power supplies! I can get official ones from a website online, my only question is whether or not the AC adapters are identical? I couldn't see any difference when I had them, the numbers all seemed the same... It's PAL if that makes a difference (I'm in the UK) Many thanks! <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVE 1 GAMES Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Im not entirely sure about PAL power supplies, but over here the Jag CD and Jaguar AC adapters are the exact same. You may also use a sega genesis ac adapter to power either the console or CD unit Edited June 18, 2017 by Jeffrey_Bones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may also use a sega genesis ac adapter to power either the console or CD unit I have Mega Drive Power Supplies, but of course I'd rather use the proper supplies just in case Most of the numbers (voltage etc) were all the same, but I just wanted to make sure <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felyx Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) There is a German shop that is offering a single AC adapter with 2 connectors to feed at same time the Jag and the Jag CD. http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Atari-Jaguar-Twin-Netzteil-ein-Netzteil-für-Jaguar-und-Jaguar-CD/252975171536?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=552010002812&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 A little step forward in he direction of the Jag Combo Edited June 19, 2017 by Felyx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Felyx, thanks for posting that! I was wondering what I was gonna do about the power supplies for my Jag and Jag CD. Will those by any chance work on NTSC Jags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Felyx, thanks for posting that! I was wondering what I was gonna do about the power supplies for my Jag and Jag CD. Will those by any chance work on NTSC Jags? Same output voltages, the PSU accepts 100-240V input so it'll work. It's probably cheaper just to find whatever Chinese OEM PSU they used and a Y-cable and grab that vs shipping from Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterG Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I do remember a thread somewhere here that someone (Doc. Clue???) fried one of his skunkboards with a combo like this. Don't know if it was this one but maybe you should check the thread in question for more information just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterG Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 That was my concern with using anything other than official Power Supplys, accidentally frying the thing! :'/ It didn't damage the Jaguar hardware. You are safe there. There was something concerning the skunkboard. I do not have time now, but the search function should help to find the thread.

+remowilliams Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Here's the thread concerning the damaged skunk. Some highly relevant parts of that thread (since it's locked). Make sure you're not causing any skunk axplosions folks.. If these power supplies output 15v, then DO NOT use these power supplies with a Revision 1 or Revision 2 Skunkboard. You will VERY LIKELY damage the flash chip. It's almost guaranteed for a rev 2 board. I wouldn't connect this supply to anything using a linear regulator internally either, unless you're really sure that there's enough heatsinking to dissipate the extra heat (and input capacitors with a large enough working voltage). If the internal voltage is 5 V, feeding the input with 15 V instead of 9 V will result in a power dissipation that's 2.5x higher! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 The specs for the power supply mentioned above say 9 V, so it shouldn't be an issue. But I'd still double check with a voltmeter before using it on a Jag with a Skunkboard, just to be sure - those boards are expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

032-Bias Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) I can't remember the thread I found this one on, but some of the users said it was a good supply. https://en.retrogamesupply.com/products/power-supply-all-in-one-for-atari-jaguar-cd (Edit: Just found it http://atariage.com/forums/topic/263739-jaguar-jaguar-cd-2-in-1-power-supply/?view=findpost&p=3737337&hl=%2Bpower+%2Bsupply A single user has it, I really need to get better with the search feature) Bought one myself, it ships from France (took a while to get to the states). Haven't done much testing besides verifying it would run the systems at the same time. Universal 110-240V input, 9V & 3A output, and a lot smaller than it looks.

Felyx Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) I received that AC adapter and my opinion is clear: don't buy this! Reason is that following: The seller cuts the label on its back to make sure we can't see the real brand so WTF? I suppose he is doint that so we can't search the web and find out the customer is paying 2, 3 or 4 times the price by purchasing this stuff from him instead of Aliexpress or any other chinese website but maybe there is something else to hide... Anyway I can't trust a guy who is acting like this so I would certainly not recommand to buy form him Moreover the Y wire plug is lose so I had to put some tape to make sure it stays plugged correctly... Sometimes I am really not well inspired... Do you know if at least the sticker shows enough info to try using it with a Skunk or if it is pure waste of money...

+madman Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 VERIFONE DSA-42D-09 TRF11338 SWITCHING AC ADAPTER The sticker says 9V output so it should be fine with a skunk, but I'd verify the output personally. You can't always trust those cheapo Chinese supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen g Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Yeah it was me who posted about it, it's been working like a dream since I got it, that one from Germany looks a bit cheap tho. Saying that, I have purchased there csync RGB scart adapter for the Atari jag which allows you to use any normal scart lead. I can post a link if anyone is interested.
