Jag CD Transport Replacement Guide

[Jag CD Transport Replacement Guide]

that is a good price! If you look on the digital jitter website I mentioned in my docs they list 2-3 US suppliers, which I guess are reputable for them to be listed. I never really looked (not being in the US and all ) so no idea of the price they would sell em for.

[Doom questions]

Just took a quick look at the SNES version of Doom on ZSNES emulator on my PC. The res (or lack of) is shocking, and they didn't bother texture mapping the floors or ceilings... tut tut.

 

Didn't they also get rid of all the gore and blood? and in WOlf 3D they had to remove all the Nazi related stuff?

[A question about the care and longevity of the Jaguar]

although If it had been a working cart I'd have to say Chequered flag would deffinately be the one I would choose to sacrifice as a dust cover

[Brittle SCART connector]

We're not lucky enough have SCART inputs to our 60Hz NTSC TV sets here in the U.S.!

 

Do Canadian TV's have them? (SCART being French and all). Failing that if your TV has component (RGB) inputs it should be pretty easy to make a converter, either SCART -> RGB or Jag -> RGB (if it doesn't already exist).

[Battlesphere footage wanted]

Heh... I was about to tell you to go there. Sorry the resolution is a bit low on the films, but I didn't amke them. I tried to make my own but my video card doesn't want to capture motion at any reasonable frame rate. Time for a video upgrade!

 

Well I am willing to make high res movies if you just send me the Cart )))

 

worth a try

[A question about the care and longevity of the Jaguar]

One of the sites I mentioned had a list of suppliers,, there was one for the UK and a load for the US.. the UK one was www.cricklewoodelectronics.com If you want the full list goto Digital Jitter. OOPS that link was supposed to be in my docs and I have fluffed the HTML! I'll get that fixed.

 

There are only a few suppliers, but I guess most decent electronics shops should be able to source one for you. Hope this is of some help. and good luck.

[Opening a Jag cart?]

errr.. I converted the CD to cart.. honest )) OOPS!

 

well spotted batman, you have won a star.. * enjoy

 

Well If I did have battlemorph I bet jamming it in the cart port wouldn't work anyway It's late and thats my final excuse ..

[Opening a Jag cart?]

I get red screens on a few carts, normally blowing hard on the cart edge connector solves the problem (guess the moisture improves conduction as well as your breath shifting the dust.) Only one I can't get to work is Battlemorph but I think the pins have just had it on the cart.

[A question about the care and longevity of the Jaguar]

Hi Guys !

 

I have not yet had problems with Jag cart port going bad, but sadly my Jag  

CD.

I was always careful with it and didn't have problems so far, however in the last months it changed. The drive often hangs at FMVs. I guess it's simply the hardware gone bad meanwhile :-(

 

Too bad that Jag CDs are so expensive these days, otherwise I would get a new one soon.

 

Thats Bad news. However there is a solution, I had a similar problem with a Jag CD I recently bought of eBay. But I have been able to replair it quite easily. I have replaced the entire CD Transport (thats the laser, and both the lateral motor and the spindle motor). The unit isn't made anymore, but the Transport is deffinately still in production/availible.

 

If you want the docs there on my currently underconstruction site at http://www.the-crow.co.uk/jagcdtrans/

 

If I can help just drop me a mail, glad to help another Atari fan.

 

Good luck.
