Bump! I've recently had to replace my 37" LCD (well, I didn't have to, but it has some issues). This is unfortunate because it has, from memory, 4 SCART, 2 Composite, 1 S-Vid, 1 HDMI, 1 VGA, 1 DVI and 2 Component inputs. Thought it's an old 1080 TV, it's by far the most connectible tv/monitor I've ever seen. I'll be using it as a big computer monitor from now on. I never got a chance to try the Jaguar on it with SCART because I've yet to get a cable. It was okay with Composite, but only as good as you could imagine. Unfortunately my new 60" Samsung is not the same as the Euro models - the Aussie one doesn't have RGB SCART in. It has 4 HDMI, 1 VGA, 1 Composite and 1 Composite / Component (automatically switches depending on what's plugged in)...there's not even S-Video! Eventually I'll get a dedicated A/V amplifier (probably Yamaha) that upscales and outputs, but upscaled S-Video would be the best I could hope for (SCART isn't common here). I know I could go Jag -> SCART -> Component convertor (eg. something like this eBay Auction -- Item Number: 220698773448 ), but since I have my Nuon n501 (or the Gamecube or the Wii) plugged into the 1 set of Component ports, then I'd be faced with having to constantly swap cables (or get a switchbox). So - here's my plan for the 'best' possible picture. I'll get a SCART cable and then a SCART to HDMI upscaler that does 720/1080. Something like this : eBay Auction -- Item Number: 260922672168 Does anyone see a problem with this? Will it work? I'm a bit wary, and this is a rather expensive option, but I'd love to see that Jag with the best possible picture quality on the new TV I've seen Jaguar videos on youtube with a supposed internal (?) or possibly external 1080 mod, but there's zero information about them that I could find.

If we're listing what we'd like, I'm likely after the Catbox, an RGB SCART cable (if you have one) and one pro-controller. Quite likely a few games to round out the collection too. Maybe, very maybe, a CD too. If you want, PM me with a list of games and what you want for the various items and we can go from there (no ebay fees, yay!). I'd use paypal for transactions, so it's all secure. As I'm new here, I can provide examples of transactions I've done online with other forums with links that vouch for my reliability.

I agree with what the others said. There may be some items though that are difficult to shift (so will waste space whilst your trying to sell) or may only make a tiny amount , but you'll probably make up for it money wise with some of the other bigger ticket items. When / where are you planning to sell? I'm interested in a few items you've mentioned to help round out my collection.

The AEOs (Atari Explorer Online) files probably have some exact release dates...though many were inevitably pushed back... I think the dates where possible should be incorporated into the official FAQ ( http://www.atariage.com/Jaguar/faq/index.html ).

Many moons ago I had an online chat/interview with the developer of the game. The producer at Atari was almost ready to scrap the virtual mode in favour of this (!!!). From what I remember it was very hastily put together and the amount of testing done was probably minimal. From my hazy recollection it's often K models that have issues, but there's something nagging in my head about others with M models who've also had problems, but I can't be 100% sure. That's the problem about returning to Jag stuff after 10 odd years FWIW, it works fine on both my Jags, but I think they're both Ms.
