+xucaen Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 His listing specifically says this adapter has "Outside positive, inside negative" This matches the Genesis, but will fry a Jaguar! http://www.ebay.com/itm/AC-Adapter-Charger-for-Atari-Jaguar-or-Sega-Genesis-Power-Supply-9V-1A-5-5-2-1mm-/371032074597?pt=US_Surveillance_Cables_Adapters_Connectors&hash=item56633c2965 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+xucaen Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 A genesis model 1 power works fine on the jaguar. But that's not what this post is about. Clearly, the power supply being sold as a "Jaguar Power supply" will not work on a Jaguar. Go ahead and use your compatible Jaguar power supply on your Jaguar, but the one being sold is not compatible even though the auction title says it is.

goldenegg Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 But that's not what this post is about. That's exactly what this post is about. The eBay seller is selling an adapter that supposedly works on both the Genesis and Jaguar. You're saying that's not possible, as they have different polarity. icemanxp300 says Genesis adapters work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying that's not possible, as they have different polarity. icemanxp300 says Genesis adapters work fine. Wrong. The guy is selling a "Outside positive, inside negative" power supply and then claiming it will work on a Jaguar, which it will not. I double dare you to plug the adapter from that auction into your Jaguar and turn it on. I triple dog dare you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I think i fried my Genesis years ago by trying a Jaguar power supply. So, I'd avoid using any PS that wasn't specifically made for the system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I double dare you to plug the adapter from that auction into your Jaguar and turn it on. I triple dog dare you. I'm not sure why you have such an awful attitude. I wasn't disagreeing with you regarding the adapter being sold. I was disagreeing with the way you responded to icemanxp300. Since the adapter you linked to is not compatible, that would mean that Genesis adapters are not compatible with the Jaguar due to reversed polarity (as far as I know, all Genesis adapters are outside positive, inside negative). That would in turn make this post about the incompatibility between Genesis adapters and the Jaguar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) I just checked my Jaguar adapter and it is outside positive, inside negative. It's the same one pictured here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Atari-Jaguar-Power-Supply-Type2.jpg EDIT: A quick Google search shows that the Atari adapter image you have in the original post is actually for a Lynx, not a Jaguar.

Oh I see, when someone disagrees with you or furnishes proof for their statements, suddenly they have a bad attitude. I posted this thread to warn unsuspecting people of that auction. You had no reason to even post in this thread unless you had evidence that the power supply listed in that auction really is a Jaguar power supply. Posting false contrary statements and then forcing me to re-explain myself is a form of harassment. You are trolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I double dare you to plug the adapter from that auction into your Jaguar and turn it on. I triple dog dare you. Wow you need to relax and educate yourself. No need to Dare me I already use a genesis 1 ac adapter on my jag and guess what it still works!!! Would you like a video? Here about a picture of my genesis power supply next to my jaguar power supply ( I had to open my boxed system...thanks for that). Yeah that's why I know the genesis model 1 works because I use the damn thing currently on my play system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting false contrary statements and then forcing me to re-explain myself is a form of harassment. You are trolling. Hahahah. This thread was awesome. I will say though that I recognize the form factor of the AC adapter that OP posted a link to, and while he is completely wrong about it not working on a Jag, those adapters are complete garbage. If you need an AC adapter, either buy an OEM unit or go to Radio Shack and buy a nice multi-tip universal one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I was actually using a Genesis 1 power supply to power the Jag CD at the SoCal Arcade Expo this weekend as I couldn't find my other Atari branded one. I think it's funny that Atari ripped off the Sega Genesis 1 power supply and the Radio Shack RF switch for the Jag. Probably just paid someone off to change the label at the factory.

TaskenLander Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Is it true the Jaguar CD attachment can also be used to make waffles? (Please answer quickly; I'm dripping fresh pancake batter all over the place!) Thanks, Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
