jesusc Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I just bought a Jaguar (prolly my tenth one by now)off of one the Atari Age members. Came with boxed Tempest (the only reason I keep coming back to Jaguar), Iron Solder, Cannon Fodder, and a couple of loose games. I still had Towers II, Zero 5, and Rayman in the collection. Anyhow, it came with a Genesis power supply. I've heard arguments for and against it's use with the Jag. What's the final word? Is it potentially harmful to the system to use it?

There are 2 types of Genesis/Megadrive PSU, one works perfect and one fries it. I would imagine that seen as you got this one with the Jag its the one that works fine.

The Jag needs 9V DC tip negative, double check your power supply if you're concerned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a Jag power supply from b&c for like 10 bucks. I wont use one. I went nuts at MGC last year trying to find one and everyone tried to sell me a sega power pack. Stay away.

+remowilliams Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Dont use it its not worth it. If the PS is rated 9V DC tip negative, there isn't much to worry about - at least that will harm the Jag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Be sure to double-check, though. The Jaguar is known to fry easily if the polarity is wrong. Beware of the output current rating, too : original Jag power supplies are rated for 1.2 A ; I believe there are several versions of the Genesis power supply, some of which are rated for less. Don't use them, as they'd get too hot and possibly damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesusc Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I contacted B&C about the power cord. They want $11 to ship it. I'm not paying $20 for a power cord when I can get a whole system for $50 or less. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesusc Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 And purchased. Thanks! I looked through some stuff on eBay, but it seemed like every auction I clicked on was for some off brand crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
