  1. Not sure how you having a bunch of disc-based systems fail relates to this topic--the lasers in those probably will fail. Every secondhand cartridge-based system I've ever had (and bought secondhand cartridges for it) has been spotty with how reliably it played cartridges, often times no matter how well I cleaned the contacts. The OP could return the system, buy another from a different seller, and be right back at square one with another flaky system. Get a partial refund and send it to Best to get it refurbished. Then you'll at least have a reliable console.

    Good advice. He could always have the cartridge port replaced, as mentioned earlier in the thread, if the issue worsens.


  2. The Jaguar I recently purchased from a member here doesnt have the problem you mentioned. Everything I play on my system works fine the first time. However, I have purchased a couple of games off eBay that had issues, and they would repeatedly produce the RSOD until I cleaned their connectors.

     

    There could be something wrong with your Jaguar. Have you attempted to clean the systems cartridge port? If that doesnt work, I suggest getting a refund.


  3. The last time I encountered an Atari Jaguar in the wild was over fifteen years ago at my local Salvation Army. The system came complete with 2 joypads, all the proper hookups, and 8 games for $75. Yes, I bought it. :) I kept the system for three years before selling it on eBay. I cant remember why I sold it, but I do remember regretting my decision later.

     

    May I suggest browsing the marketplace forum here on AA for a system? The Jaguar system I own today was purchased through there.

     

    Edit: One thing I forgot to mention - the likelihood of you finding an Atari Jaguar in the wild for cheap (let alone finding one at all) is slim to none. Your choices are either eBay or from communities like this one here.
