BigD73 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I'm not an expert on the Jag so sorry for the questions but will a PAL cartridge work on a NTSC Jaguar? Also I see alot of owners from the UK but were Jaguars sold in Japan? Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Jag games are all the same no matter what country you are in and no the Jag wasn't released in Japan. Hope this helps, welcome to AA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaztee Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Actually, weren't 40,000 Jags released in Japan bundled with AvP? Yes the jag was released in Japan & the figure I heard was 15 000 units. I have one myself, but swapped the AvP for Trevor McFur, D'oh!

Phineasfool Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Don't no how many were released, but I did see them over there while I was living in Japan. Only saw them in Akihabara though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper_Eye Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 There is at least one or two games that are not region free (well... they are but don't work properly) and I believe that would be Dragon's Lair and maybe Space Ace. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Just Dragons Lair on CD, that is NTSC only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Yep, but some Jaguar games are faster on NTSC (and slower on PAL). This *can be* frustrating, for example in Atari Karts which is slower and easier on PAL but faster and thus harder on NTSC... a friend of mine finished the PAL version of AK very easily, but the NTSC version took him many many more tries... (he said that the computer opponents in the higher levels were very hard to beat on a NTSC Jag)... -Andreas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isgoed Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Maybe you would notice better mr. kizza if you peel your upper eyelids up , because CharlieChaplin is absolutely right There is a huge difference between PAL or NTSC, 50Hz or 60Hz For example, try Raiden, you will see the difference, and when dropping a bomb even hear the difference. Most games are played/displayed better in 60Hz mode, I even made a list up for myself of which game is best played in which mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 But I think that the difference stays, since your Jag's clock ticks differently. Your TV just receive the signal, and doesn't affect the Jag's behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Dogs Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Another dumb question, but are digital or hdtv's either ntsc or pal or has new technology combined the two formats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
