Jaguar: Who needs an Atari brand S-Video Cable

[doubledown]

Well since I never had the S-Video cable for my Jaguar and I can't see spending 20-40 dollars for one I decided to just mod my console with the S-Video jack, and while I was at it I decided to mount Composite Video and Analog Audio jacks so that Atari's proprietary cables are no longer necessary. The Jaguar is definately a pain in the ass console to do these mods on. There isn't much rear panel space not to mention interior space. I think it came out pretty well. What do you think?

Very Nice and clean...but the third a/v jack looks strange spread out like that from the rest...

btw, do you s-video mod sega master systems?

Nice, did the mod and labor run you less than buying a Jag friendly S cable?

There's not enough room inside the console to mount them all on one side of the A/V port nor is their room to even mount the 3 RCA jacks on one side and the S-Video on the other so I split them as Video on the left and Audio on the right. Unfortunately I have to work with Atari's design. I haven't had a chance to get to the SMS yet. I've done the Genesis 2 and 3 and I tried the Genesis 1, but the picture went to black and white shortly after I finished it. I haven't had a chance to get back to that one yet.

Well since the labor is me doing something besides just watching TV I'll count that as free, as for the parts, yes definately less than an official Atari S-Video cable. Not to mention that it makes the console a little unique.

Awesome!

 

I'm happy with the cable I bought off Ebay for $10.

Kinda a dumb question: does doing this mod disable the port where the a/v cable goes? I'm assuming that a new video amp board, or whatever they're called, needs to be built.

 

Once I get a steady job, I gotta get my coleco modded with a/v and s-video. Nice site, btw.

No, the original A/V port and the DSP port are still completely functional.

Very nice job.

So can you post a photo of how you wired things up inside?
