No encuentro nada por los interneses que me solvente la duda así que pruebo a formularla ante el comité de sabios
Tengo una Atari Jaguar UK y quiero conseguir una Jaguar CD para completar el tándem de la muerte. La cosa es que versión UK no he visto ninguna (y si la vi fue a un precio desorbitado). Sin embargo en USA si que sale algo de vez en cuando.
La cosa es, siendo una consola multiregión para los juegos ¿cabe alguna posibilidad de que el hardware también lo sea y se puedan combinar? Suena raro, pero mantengo la esperanza de que alguien lo sepa por experiencia.
Q. Was there a difference in Jaguar games/units sold in different countries? Do I need to keep track of PAL and NTSC versions of a game?
A. There is no difference in the Jaguar game software. A properly-written Jaguar game detects PAL or NTSC at startup and changes the playfield size and game speeds accordingly. A properly-written Jaguar game will run at the same speed on either machine. There are no regional or national market lock-outs as there are for other game consoles.
The Jaguar consoles themselves were configured differently, according to the country they were sold in. The primary differences were in the video output format (NTSC or PAL) and the power adapters (110 volt or 220 volt). Due to the Jaguar's use of an external adapter, a step-down transformer is not needed. A local PSU can be used so long as it matches these specifications:
1. 9 volt direct current (DC) 2. 1.2 amps 3. Center pin negative
The PSUs from old Sinclair computers and Sega Game Gears can be used with the Jaguar without problems.
To use an American (NTSC) Jaguar in Europe, you will need a new power adapter and a SCART lead to supply the Jaguar's RGB signals to the TV. Some European TV sets might have also required changing the Jaguar display from a 60Hz frame rate to 50Hz.
The 50Hz/60Hz frame rate is set by soldering pads on the bottom of the Jaguar PCB. On an NTSC Jaguar, they're located on the bottom of the PCB near the controller ports. The set labelled "R140" determines between 50Hz and 60Hz. Connect the two points for 50Hz, or leave them disconnected for 60Hz, as follows:
60Hz 50Hz o-o R135 o-o o o R136 o o (Information courtesy of Martin Zimmer, o o R137 o o marz@haari.mayn.sub.de) o o R140 o-o
PAL Jaguars sold in Europe have the R140 pads connected with a zero ohm SMD resistor, which can be removed with a soldering iron. It is possible to wire a switch to the points, allowing the Jaguar to be toggled between 50Hz/60Hz. This is mainly useful for PAL Jaguars to play games at the original speed and screen resolution of the NTSC version.
Russ Juckes (russ_j@raiden.demon.co.uk) gives these instructions for finding the pads on a European/PAL Jaguar:
"Hold the Jaguar PCB with the Joystick ports to the bottom. On the underside of the board, near the joystick ports, and to the left of centre there are four links, the top and the bottom one bridged. (Both with zero ohm resistors). Above them there is another link, with a brown resistor.
"The bottom link is the one that needs to be broken. I used a penknife to scratch away the solder, and then a needle-nosed pair of pliers to break the resistor.
"The links are *not* labelled in any way. As another guide to make sure you are about to snip the correct link, they are placed directly underneath a chip (which is obviously on the top of the PCB!) so if you use a soldering iron, be careful!"
Al parecer la unica diferencia es que las pal emiten en 50hz y las usa/jap en en 60hz sin ninguna otra clase de restriccion. Y ahi arriba explica como hacer el modding para pasarla de 50 a 60. Haciendo esto no deberias tener ya ningun problema al conectar el Atari Jaguar CD Usa a tu consola Pal.
Chino, para mí esto es chino pero por lo que entiendo si se hace ese mod puede conectarse una europea con una usa. Todo sería plantearse el conseguirla y ver de alguien "apañao" que haga el modding.

Veras en el pin r140 una resistencia de 0 ohm, simplemente la quitas y ya esta, rulando a 60 hz Y si lo vuelves a unir, vuelves a tenerla a 50 hz. Lo bonito es poner un interuptor y conmutar de 50 a 60 cuando quieras.
jejejeje esta bien, sera mejor que busques a alguien que te haga el apaño.
Pero usa la logica, si tienes "algo" que tiene de 0 ohm de resistencia o sea cero patatero es lo mismo que decir que esta haciendo contacto ya que no opone nada de resistencia.
Bueno espero que te vaya bien y que postees algún resultado cuando lo tengas
