If it's a modern piece of electronics it should say on the adapter or, if the PSU is build into the unit, on the unit itself. Something like "100-120v" or "100-120 volts" and "50-60 hz" or "50/60 hz". Something like that. And again, if an external PSU doesn't specify and it uses a fairly standard plug it might be safer to get a 3rd party multi-volt adapter.

Thanks.

Also where's a good place to get those stepdown converters if I need one?

My Fami and Supa Fami work fine without one. The voltage difference is so small it doesn't make the slightest difference.

Very informative, didn't have a clue about it. Could anyone tell exactly what japanese systems do require a converter? Like to be on the safe side.
