Dragonforce-Europe Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 will a ntsc jagcd work with a pal original jaguar power supply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Hello, PAL and NTSC are television-standards. Regards Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonforce-Europe Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 so it doesnt matter what power supply i use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkoVitch Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 unless you have a PSU which conforms to NTSC, have to watch out for those.. the PAL conforming PSU's are bad too.. alternatively, you could try looking at the power requirements on the unit and the PSU.. see if they match.. perhaps read one of the 10000 other threads on this subject.. etc etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHR_AeON Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I doubt that a US Jag CD will work with european PSUs (you probably will fry it, depending on the voltage/power which is supplied in your country (which is most likley different from the one in America)). However, I don't know exactly, as I use my US Jag stuff with US PSUs and voltage converters. But I do remember that I once had a japanese Mega Drive and by accident I took the wrong PSU.. guess, what happened... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten Martens Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I hava a european Jag and an US JagCD ... I have 2 europe power supply units, one for the jag one for the CD ... Don't worry, it'll all work fine ... Maarten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHR_AeON Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Voltage in europe is 220V (or 240V), USA and Canada run on 120V. So if you use any US machine in Europe with a european standard PSU, it will fry (the machine and/or PSU), unless you can switch the machine to accept 220V or use a voltage converter. As, if you say, the US Jag CD works with european PSUs, this could only mean that the output of the original european Atari PSU is only 120V (thus it would convert AC electricity) or the Jag CD accepts both 120V and 220V.

I'll check the power requirements on the US unit and the US PSU, later, when I'm back home. Judging by the other topic it seems as if the european PSUs will work with US Jags/CDs. Haven't heard about that before as I always only used US PSUs + voltage converters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 @CHR_AeON: with all due respect, you're talking crap. For a start, there's no such thing as an NTSC or PAL JagCD. They're all the same. Period. They also all run off 9VDC at 1.2A, which if you look *very* carefully is exactly what the Jag power supply outputs. Any normal Jag power supply that works in your region will also happily power a JagCD. End of story. @Dragonforce: Maarten Maartens is 100% correct. No matter where the JagCD came from originally, if you're in the EU then using an EU Jag power supply with it will be just fine. If you're in the UK then use a UK power supply, if you're in the USA then use a USA power supply. It's really not rocket science...how on earth are people getting so confused?

Dragonforce-Europe Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 thanx. my jagcd will be shipped tommorow. @Stone. hey how about a encrypted version of american stone? and when will i get ea email notification that i can pay for american stone? you know that i was on the list didnt you?

If you have a Jag or JagCD that takes upto 120 or 220VAC direct I will give you £1000 for it. I think more likey you would be holding a chared mess, and possibly be suffering from at least one kind of shock due to the explosion whitnessed when you dumped LINE voltage into something that is expecting nicely regulated DC. The black box on the end of the Jag power lead that plugs in the wall is whats called a TRANSFORMER, which converts the LINE VOLTAGE into something a little more managable for your jag. Euro & USA have different LINE voltages, so use different TRANSFORMERS, but the jag always takes it's electrons in a 9Volt DC format (which is finds to not have such a sharp bite as eating raw 120VAC, which tends to give it bad gas and a case of escaping blue smoke with a hint of component burn).
