Atari Jaguar - cartridge dimensions?


TheRealOC

Recommended Posts

I'm just working on a wiki article about dimensions of various retro ROM cartridges; hoping that it will be a good resource for people who want to make Sketchup models, reproduction cases, etc etc

Grateful if anyone could provide caliper measurements of standard Atari Jaguar cartridges, and also information on whether there are variances between NTSC and PAL cartridges, or any other non-standard cartridge types that might exist.  

 

Would also appreciate if anyone would be willing to upload photos of their own original Jaguar cartridges that could be used on the wiki, as public domain photos of the cartridges are hard to come by :D

 

Many thanks!

Here are the values I measured:

Height: 88.4mm

Width: 108.0mm

Thickness: max. 19.5mm

 

These are the outside dimensions, including the handle. Thickness is hard to measure exactly since surfaces are curved.

 

All official games use either charcoal (most common) or black plastic. Some homebrew releases use translucent or clear cases.

First-party games feature an Atari logo at the back of the case, third-party releases don't have it. Otherwise there is no difference.

Game region doesn't matter, as there is no zoning and all games are compatible with both NTSC and PAL consoles. (A small number of them were re-released later with a few optimizations for PAL consoles.)
