SRGilbert Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 This might be a weird question, but I'm having an issue. I have two different three button controllers. An early grey button with all the pins and the thicker cable, and a later black button with the "missing" pins and the thinner cable. When I use the grey button controller, pressing the D-pad causes an on screen interference that doesn't happen with the black button. Like the kind you get with moving the RF cable around. It seems to only happen with the D-pad and not the other buttons. This is using a regular RF cable straight into the F connector on the TV. I have a composite AV cable somewhere, but it's not accessible, so I don't know if it happens there too. Anyone else see this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRGilbert Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Well, I think I sort of figured it out. I found my composite cable, and it doesn't do it over that, so it must be generating some sort of RF interference. That might even be why they removed the pins? Next I'll see if it does it with the official Jag RF box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerosquare Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Yup, RF is terrible in itself, and even worse on the Jag. Ditch that cable (or sell it on eBay), and enjoy your better picture! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I think the Jag's RF signal has been known to interfere with airplane instruments and is not approved by the FCC. Composite is a huge step up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bratwurst Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I encountered this same issue last year, never looked past using a better video cable. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/268299-atari-jaguar-flickering-video-when-pressing-buttons/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
