RollOut Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Can I split the difference? The jag will work, but the jag CD is cooked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roots.genoa Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I bet that both work 50% of the time, but not the same 50%. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Helper Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 I will let you guys know. I cannot freaking wait to find out. I cannot freaking wait to find that other box of shit there is a colecovision and a bunch of games in there too.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jeremiahjt Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I think the Jaguar will mostly work. One of the pins on the second controller port will be broke and also the edge connector on the back for the Jag Link will not work. The Jaguar CD will play CDs fine, but will not play cartridges. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was a real booking joint, you'd have by far the highest potential payout of the bets thus far. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I think the Jaguar will work, except it will only display in Black and White, with no sound. Except on certain Tuesdays 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Editorb Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I think the initial "I am going to so video this" will be voted Most Unfulfilled Teaser. We've already gotten a still photo of the first recovered treasure; where is the glorious candid footage featuring attic ladders, Shelob battles, box groping, and the initial glorious discovery? Bah! Bah, I type! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlynxalot Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Yeah I was thinking the same thing, where's the video! Looking at a room full of other people's junk excites me as long as its not organic stuff like plants, food or waste. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happens when Jag CD appears to work, then produces series of disk errors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I get my buddies stuff all cleaned up I need to turn my attention to my Jag CD. I got it like 15 years ago when I was doing the Ebay thing to complete my collection and I have never tested it. It is not as bad looking as the one in this thread but my jag and jag cd are dirty as hell too and it will be interesting to see if it works. Based on what I have read about Jag CDs over the year I think I have a good chance because the parts that break are usually from use right? These have just been sitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use alcohol or something else to clean the connectors? Compressed air? LOL - I know how to clean connectors it is sticky thread in this forum lol I have been on this forum since the beginning I should know that LOL Edited January 25, 2022 by The Helper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the part of my VCS manual that admonished, "Don't pour liquids into the Game Program Slot of the Console." Surely the advances by the Jaguar generation allow us to pour a beer into the thirsty kitty's mouth ... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Helper Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 lol beer would not have that much alcohol content but lol it might work just in the washing kind of setup. I would never pour a beer on my jaguar regardless of what the Internet said LOL! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic isn’t ironic? Dust is a killer where electronics are concerned, yet Atari cheaped out on a cartridge slot cover; the biggest dust vacuum on the console. Edit: This is why I always leave a cartridge plugged into the Jaguar’s cartridge slot. Edited February 12, 2022 by ColecoGamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a slot cover, then cover the console with a custom cover. I used to cover each console with aluminum foil, and people said it looked like I had batches of lasagna on the entertainment center.
