I'm new here, I'm kinda a retro gamer. I just purchased a brand new Atari Jaguar system from a seller on EBAY. I also purchased a few new factory-sealed games from the same seller. I purchased all this stuff from the United Kindom, and I live in the US. I'm having problems with what I think is the system.
The games all play fine and the sound effects come through perfect, however the screen flickers very badly and will only show up in black&white. I've already replaced the AV cable and that didn't fix the problem.
Does it sound like there is something wrong with the system? or do UK systems not work in the US?
Any help would be great!
You deserve it for buying the Jaguar.
Anywho, it's probably that you are mixing PAL and NSTC stuff.
The game territories. you probably bought a Euro (PAL) system. you probably bought a NTSC game.
The world is spilt between 3 actually, PAL, NTSC and SECAM
pal is most of the world -america -france.
NTSC is America and such
Secam is only france and frech places
Here is a nice table so you can buy the correct game type in a cheap 3rd world market
