-{{skill>5/10}}PAL and NTSC Jaguars have almost identical mainboards, with one small exception. There is a 0 Ohm resistor (i.e. jumper) placed on PAL machines, bridging a gap which is open on NTSC Jaguars. The difference this makes is that the video output is throttled to 50Hz when the bridge is closed (which is the case on PAL Jaguars) and runs at full 60Hz when it's open.+PAL and NTSC Jaguars have almost identical mainboards, with one small exception.

 {{ av:jaguar5060hz-jumperlocation.jpg|General location of the jumper group}} The jumper is relatively easy to find; open the Jaguar case and take the mainboard out of it, then flip it on its back and look for a group of five resistors slightly above the second controller port, as marked on the image to the right. {{ av:jaguar5060hz-jumperlocation.jpg|General location of the jumper group}} The jumper is relatively easy to find; open the Jaguar case and take the mainboard out of it, then flip it on its back and look for a group of five resistors slightly above the second controller port, as marked on the image to the right.
