Jaguar game drive menu error

[Juicyracoon]

So I just got a game drive but when I started up my jaguar, the retro hq logo popped up but under it it said menu error or something like that. Now every time a start it up it’s just a grey screen with the jaguar logo also in grey.

Do any other carts boot? I'm not familiar with a grey screen with Jaguar logo. It's normally red if there's an issue?

 

The menu error message means there was some issue verifying the menu code. This can be dirty contacts on the cart edge on console edge connector.

Unfortunately the other cart I got was smashed in the mail, so I don’t have a way to test the console. The red screen popped up twice after the initial retro hq logo. Now it’s the same screen just all grey.

That should be a red screen, I'm not sure why you don't have colour?

 

But that is a sign of bad contact between the cartridge edge and the console cartridge connector.

Ya just not sure why it’s no longer red haha. Gonna try and clean it again.

One of my Jaguars is monochrome if I don't use RGB. So I'd say its a h/w glitch on the console.

Or a PAL console on a TV that only supports NTSC (or the opposite).

Yep, I'd have suggested that if it didn't show up red initially.
