s0s Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) I have an Atari Jaguar, but lost the power adapter a long time ago. I've seen people saying the first-gen Genesis power adapter works for the Jaguar, but what about the MK-1602-1 adapter? It's intended for the first-gen Genesis, which requires 9V and 1.2A, but the adapter is 10V and 1.2A. I don't know why they made it 1 volt more, but it's meant for a system that requires 9V, so would it work for the Jaguar? From pictures people have posted, it looks like the same company might have made the same power adapter for multiple companies.

+Mitch Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 That should be fine. It is the Genesis 2/3 adapter you want to avoid on the Jag. Mitch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Yes it's fine, as long as you don't use a rev 1 or 2 Sunkboard: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/211934-jaguar-duopower-2-in-1-ac-adapter/page-2?do=findComment&comment=2753584 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I gather, a skunkboard is jargon for the motherboard, right? 2. Also, from your link, it sounds like 10V is ok, unless I'm interpreting what Tursi is saying wrong. 3. How do I tell the version of the skunkboard in my Jaguar? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 No, it's an homebrew flash cartridge. If you don't know what it is, you don't have it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+madman Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I've said it before and I'll say it again, we need a Jaguar PSU sticky. I'm happy to write something up if the mods think it is worthwhile. Maybe not even PSU specific but other things like blown regulators, signs of a blown regulator, etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why it gets annoying eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
