Need someone to verify if this AC adap works on a Gen mod 2

Post by Amplibax »

I need to get a couple AC adapters for some Genesis' I will be selling and I'm looking for a decent priced third party one. I found some of these ones all around the net but I can't seem to find info confirming they work on a Genesis model 2. I attached a picture.

Hmm, are you in Europe? I was going to say it was for a Genesis model 1 since it lists NES as well. But it also lists SNES which has a different plug in the US and it doesn't show the tip or tips on the end of the wire. You can use a Gen 1 plug on a NES but not vice versa without exciting fireworks and a release of magic smoke.

Nope. I live in North America.

Ok, if that's aimed at US console owners then it will have one plug for SNES and a second plug that will work with NES and Gen 1 so it won't help you.

Well that's what I assumed because I have a similar 3 in 1 AC Adapter that I got from Racketboy that works for Gen mod 1, SNES and NES, but this seller on ebay claims the AC adapter will work on all models of Genesis. I just don't want to waste time waiting for it and have it not work.

Does anyone know of a site that carries decently priced Genesis model 2 AC adapters?

Will the seller provide a picture of the plugs on the end? It's possible it could have 3, but I've only ever seen ones with 2.

See the problem is it's one of those sellers with 20,000+ feedback so the person answering the emails and questions probably doesn't have access the the actual products.

If im not mistaken genesis 2 needs center postive, 850ma, 10V. It is so damn hard finding the right DIN plug for genesis 2. I am in need of two of them. Let me know if that works.

Can't hurt to ask but if you don't get an answer or find somewhere with a picture of the actual item and that same box I'd pass.

I asked him if he was sure it worked on Gen mod 2 and also how many plugs it had and he said it only had two, but his Chinese supplier says it will work, but then he said he didn't know how it would. :? So I am assuming it won't work!
