Thanks for the video, always handy to see. Exactly as you described, and not expected behavior from the console after reset.

 

One last thing which is useful to try is to hold down PAUSE during booting the console with GD inserted, this will do a memory test. Or press * and # at the same time from the menu. This will just verify the console has no problem reading and writing to the memory used for the ROM's. I've not experienced or seen this particular issue, and I can't see how it could stem from a memory error, however the red screen is indicative of a memory error normally (however, with Jaguar logo!), so it's worth checking.

 

thanks for the suggestion - when testing memory - it doesnt flag anything.

 

Does it appear to load the ROM successfully ? I haven tried other memory cards - not sure if this will make a difference

No, unfortunately the GameDrive uses several pins on the cartridge connector which no other cartridge uses and does things with no other cartridge does. The only device which will use the same sort of connections is the JagCD.

 

I've not heard of this issue before, but the only thing I can think is that there is something somehow faulty with the reset circuitry on the Jaguar causing perhaps the GPU to fail to reset correctly. The GPU is used to qualify the cart and also has the video display circuitry.

thanks trying to weigh in on the return - or hold out for another jaguar which seem to be increasingly harder to find !

 

Here is a video of  what I'm experiencing

If the console doesn't reboot properly (ie. to a Jaguar logo / red screen) it sounds like a faulty console somehow. Worth trying a return though, SAG will be able to test on their machines and let you know if it's the console or cart.

That's interesting. All other games I have work though - is there any rom images that I can test to be sure?

Anything purchased in about the last 4 months comes preinstalled and ready to run.

Hi RetroHQ grateful if you can help with above post - I might have to send back to Stone Age Gamer if it is a bust cart - I don't have a second Jag to test.

Hi have updated to latest firmware and using romset suggested (even the minter j64 file).

 

when I load any ROM I get the red screen every time (does not say Jaguar), and it plays a kind of 'storm' sound.

 

Menu boots up fine not problem and other carts play fine.

 

Have tried the usual blowing/dislodging at different an angles, suspending the jag vertically a la dentist equipment, shoving bits of cardboard to tighten slot

 

what could it be! i'm using "Complete JagGD...rom set"
