Machine Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) On 5/18/2023 at 12:04 AM, ZeroPage Homebrew said: SUCCESS! The Jaguar Rotary Controller kit does work ...... - James So I watched James' last show "Jaguar Rotary Controller Special" and realize people may benefit from a few pictures on how I put the controller back together. Note I used heat tube on the center post. I have switched to using just electrical tape because it is more flexible. I also cover the old D-pad contacts with electrical tape. In the last two pictures, I use tape again just to hold the wires into place as I put the controller's back cover on. As I firmly hold the back cover in place, I make sure all the buttons in the front have not moved. Push on them and make sure they all feel normal. Make sure the back cover and front cover go together right and the seams are correct. Put the top two screws(slightly shorter screws) on first, and then do the bottom two screws(longer screws). STEP by STEP: Make sure all the buttons are still in place and put back cover on. While holding back cover firmly in place, push all the buttons and make sure they correct. Put top screws in, then bottom. Install knob and test controller. Edited May 24, 2023 by Machine 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came across a Jag automatic switchbox at A&A Vintage Games recently and dropped 4 bucks on it so I could put it in drawer. I have no use for it, but I didn’t think I had one, making it with the risk of owning two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 My kit arrived this week, I also happen to own one of the Opal rotary controllers for comparison. First off, the Opal isn't a thing anymore so you can't buy that. I do prefer the larger knob of this kit, though I suppose that can be down to personal preference. The 3d printed piece that allows the encoder to be easily mounted where the stock d-pad is is a huge plus for me as the other designs for rotary controllers where the knob is mounted on the back or to the left of the keypad is not appealing. At the end of the day it's up to you, this kit doesn't preclude anyone from a DIY job. What it does provide is a simple way to mod a Jag controller into something that looks like an OEM release. Actually probably better than OEM as Atari would've sourced the cheapest possible knob back in the 90's. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may include NOS controllers and a Rotary Controller Box. I have been working on getting the box printed a little brighter. I also reduced the size slightly(1/4" on all 3 sides). I may build some fully assembled rotary controllers, but not many. I should have the new box here in a few weeks. I'll post here once I have it all put together. (2-3 weeks hopefully). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Just put together six five more kits. They come with a new glossy box and a custom Jaguar shipping box: https://www.ebay.com/itm/326095273689?itmmeta=01HVVK7W078929GFMX9QPPR5RK&hash=item4beccafed9:g:oBEAAOSwzaZlxwJC&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8JIB6Df29GvK%2BBOKWR6munJoPR9RJbZfEmbTP6pjMcF0jNqYym2XM8V2GagpgS2HCF3ILCFD92ktZmJ5CSXjOyBw%2FMIC0oTQRl8NW%2BoPZ%2BdXgPBiX6u9rWB5WRlrQHCBAe091aE0AH5TaUodHQdMh2nm1jKyRjx%2F1RV%2Br9r4RXHHgmdgx2WV7swYBoQ1JmTtN0SJOSOUpAkq4SJZUSTqDLts%2FWPXx1C8TGBZGLqyIDwH1Jc21YHK2na3VUmdHFPJlB0FtI5kNmuKKL9pZFQqUsOA6NH4TGmcKlm3CnoIrYHh23w2wq2DTeWaF7iXEYCVsA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6rAn_PeYw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choobathingy Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Hi, I am trying to mod a Jag controller to allow me to use a rotary stick with Tempest. I have installed the rotary stick underneath the D Pad and added a switch to the right. No matter what I do the rotary stick does not register (I have enabled the setting in Tempest), at best it turns the player ship a little but does not move it. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? In the pic the switch is no longer wired in but I had it so the ground was going to a middle pin and then the rotary left and right went to the top 2 pins and then the bottom 2 pins connected to the solder points on the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 OK, I was mistaken. That should work. If you took the switch out and wired it straight up, that should work. Does the controller work fine with the d-pad in other games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes D Pad works fine on other games, have tried without the switch and it still does not work - also tried with different rotary encoders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess your quest to find a "Jaguar" switch box will continue. I have only seen one, and of course I had to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
