Mr_Spock Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hello everybody! Does anybody know the difference between a NTSC Jaguar and a PAL Jaguar in video hardware? (Not necisary the RF unit..) When I use my modded NTSC (K14 series Jaguar) I get color on my TV at home when running in both 50Hz and 60Hz (yes, I've got a 50/60hz switch on my dev-jag ). Now when I'm away and using another TV-set I can't get other then black and white picture. So my question is, is there a way to modd the jaguar more so it becomes a "real" PAL machine? The system clock seems to be differnt, but has that something to do with it? Isn't there some nice small resistors and capacitor to switch?? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCPCD Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hi ! There are many differences between a NTSC Jag and a PAL Jag : - the resistor that you replace by the switch - the frequence (very very little difference) - RCs oscillators to filtering the video output for the S-video and Composite signal - and an another resistor to switch the MC13077 in NTSC or PAL mode. I think that to switch the Jag in a more 'real' PAL system, you should take up the R19 resistor of 000 (or 0R) connect to the pin 19 of the MC13077DW (this resistor is only in NTSC system) but this modification affect only S-Video and Composite video output. The RGB output is not affect by this modification. (the RGB output is generated by TOM) Regards, SCPCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Spock Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 Thanx! Yes, it's the R19 modd I've done to get the switch between 50/60 Hz. Will check up the RC filter some day when I get hold off two jaguars... if there is nobody here who allready have this info ofcouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, if you would like to use PAL, you should take up the R140 :http://www.mdgames.de/jag_eng.htm to configure correctly the Video time base generator by the jag os.

Mr_Spock Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 Ok, it's the r140 fix i've done... sorry about that. Will try r19 then.. thanx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumbaaj Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Ok, it's the r140 fix i've done... sorry about that.Will try r19 then.. thanx! 913988[/snapback] OK- So it's possible to play UK games on the US Jaguar system?? (Cause that Amusement Park game looks awesome! (Kinda reminds me of the Sims.) Pumbaaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Yes, you can play the whole UKbunch on PAL or NTSC Jaguars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
