Micky Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Hello again I'm in search of a possibility to connect an external audio source (like ordinary HiFi CD player) to the Jaguar to use its built-in Virtual Light Machine. Does anybody know if there exist an answer/solution already? Would it be possible to develope a cartridge which contains audio IN ports (stereo) and an AD converter to easily plug into the JAG-CD-ROM-drive?

Paolo Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 this hack has been made. it consited in 'cutting' the signal coming out from the digital output of the reader and feeding an external digital signal to the unit. then you put a CD in the jag, just to let him think there is something to play, but you really feed the VLM with an external signal. Mmmmh. While answering I was trying to find the address of the guy who did it, but I can't... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that there was a mod where someone added an external DAC to the jaguar, but the mod costed like $250 and you still needed to put a CD in the Jag to make it think it was playing the music.

Tyrant Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Isnt there an official external input into the vlm either on the JagCD dev kit or the test cartridge? I dont own either unfortunatly, but I remember hearing something about an external vlm input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont own either unfortunatly, but I remember hearing something about an external vlm input. Hey Tyrant, I have both the JagCD dev kit and the test cart and neither provide audio input. However, the Jaguar Test Fixture that I have does provide RCA input that will work in conjunction with the VLM. I'll quote Glenn Bruner on the info he sent me: "But you can use the board for external VLM input. That requires you to remove the two ROMs (or just one) from the board (so that the diag software doesn't take control of the Jag) and hold * + # + option with no CD in the drive while turning on the CD. Beware though that the CD laser will still try and acquire a CD while in this mode. Don't recommend running it like this for a long time."

Hey T-bird, If you have it, is there any chance I could get a copy of that code? Thanks. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
