I'd like to know who he is, that would clear allot of things up. If he really was and editor for EGM. A little proof of that credential would verify the story.

It has been my experience that most of the postal workers don't even know the rules. Your best bet is having it done and paid online with all your forms printed or paperwork in order. Use the usps.com website for all the quotes and have it printed out. Your girth is 10" + 20" + 10" + 20" = 60" + Length 40" = 100" You are under 108" so I say you are safe.

Sure, let me check in to X'eye and see what it requires. Let me know when you are ready. Thanks, AX

Dang dude, you are giving it away.

An email has been sent to the customers who bought one already offering the step-downgrade (upgrade) if they plan to use it with Skunk 1 or 2. SOME Skunk 1 & 2 boards are apparently more sensitive to the Jaguar Duo~Power output. Simply put, they are rated for lower power than the first few Duo~Power adapters give. Per Tursi, it was suspected that different batches of chips from Atmel had different internal layouts, and one of them just ran two traces closer together. To be clear this isn't a defect in the Skunk or the Jaguar Duo~Power. Some just don't play nice together, and it is an issue that is being addressed and resolved just in case. Again, not a defect, just that some of the Atmel chips were stronger, and thus able to withstand higher voltages. The Jaguar Duo~Power was tested and passed with my own Skunk 2 before I ever offered it for sale. If it hadn't I wouldn't have sold them. To be safe going forward they will be downgraded with a lower voltage output will be 9-10v. AX

For now just don't use your Skunk 1 or 2 with the Duo~Power. Everybody that got one will have the option of sending it in for a step-downgrade so that 9V comes off the pigtails, then there will be no question. That said, they are very safe for use with games and discs on both the Jaguar/CD and Genesis1/CD both from the specs on the regulators and my opinion from my own extended use. AX

Nope, the 32X is positive tip. You need one of my GenCube adapters.

I made sure that the regulator could handle it before I ever made these. http://thegoldenax.info/MC34163-D-104943.pdf What I didn't expect was a peripheral that would ever use the unregulated incoming voltage. Having tested it and not had a problem with my own Skunk, I'm surprised to hear about this. There are a few simple solutions. As Tursi suggested, disabling the direct line to the cartridge slot from within your Jaguar will solve any issue, if you are wanting to run a Skunk 1 or 2 and already have one of the Duo~Power units. OR going forward I can add a regulator to the power supply stepping it down to 9 volts in advance. If anyone wants to mail theirs back for an step-downgrade I'm happy to install one. AX

I should also mention that the Duo~Power was tested with CatBox as well. I put in hundreds of hours of up time on the first one I made for myself before I ever offered them to the community. It doesn't break BSG either. These units are safe.

Check out the video here. http://youtu.be/ZIO8tmWlTIw In understanding how the step down regulator works in the Jaguar, you understand that this issue can not be related. Regardless of the model of Skunk. Voltage enters the system and enters the "step down" regulator. The purpose of this chip is to give consistent power at the correct voltage. By the time the Skunk sees any of that power, it has already been regulated. I firmly believe that the power supply is NOT the issue.

I'm uploading a video now of my testing it on my own Skunk 2. Unless yours are seriously different it isn't the power supply. These power supplies have been thoroughly tested prior to offering. They output 15.18 - 15.20v at 2.20 amps. The regulator in the Jag is able to handle 40V 3.4 amps. I'm fairly certain this isn't the power supply. Unless the Skunk 1 is vastly different in some way (yet to be proven).

Yes! You could even use a Jaguar and Genesis 1. Or a Jaguar and Master System. Or a Master System and a Genesis. Or a Turbo Grafx and Master System. Or a Jaguar and a Turbo Grafix. Even a Genesis 1 and Sega CD 1. Should also work on Turbo Grafx with Turbo CD. I could go on...

Bob, never stop creating. No matter what.

Was at play n trade yesterday in M'boro and they have probably 20 or so of the titles on your list. I know you want nice / CIB. Next time I'm going there (I always take my laptop) if we can link up somehow I can pull a good number of these. They are buy 2 get 1 and I get tax off with the membership. The prices are not ALWAYS the best, but it's a good way to knock a bunch out at once.

Time it or record it. I may narrow this down if it's at the same point each time, or variable.

I'm happy to convert ANY joystick for use with 7800. Send me anything you want. Price is currently $15 plus return postage. ($5 for the cord and resistors, $10 for my time).

Now you just need to varnish it for preservation

I hate when this happens. Hope you are okay dude. Please let me know if it's going poorly at the end. I've got it on my watch list.

YES! You the man. Have had the internal 2nd player VOX sorted out for 2600, still trying to get it on 7800 without conflicts. This should just about do it.

The schematic already available is allot of help, but since the components cover the markings on the board it can be a little difficult to see. I know a few unpopulated boards were sold a few years back. Was hoping to get a scan or high resolution photo. Thanks!

It will work in AU, just no little pic for my chart.

Yes, absolutely.

When I consider how much time and effort my own set took and the prices I paid, this is a bargain. Still wanting a set of those dust covers!

Maybe a group buy or something like that could work for UK Jag fans. I know there are allot of dedicated enthusiasts on that side of the pond. The US just raised the international rates on parcels. That is the best I can do for a single. (Yes, searching "kettle lead" on ePay in the UK, that is the correct item you would need to use this.)
