AC adaptors

[fitterhans]

I know other board members have recommend not using multi type adapters sold on ebay (nes and gen adapter in one) but what about multi adapters like this one:



Anyone used something like this with a NES/SNES/GEN before?

I'm not a fan of auto switching PSU's .. It will cost you less to get a PSU for a NES from ebay then it would for you to have to get a new NES for over/under powering it. When I first started collecting I made that mistake and poped a bunch of fuses in my genesis'. Now I just get the proper PSU for each system.

Code: Select all

NES
NES-002
Input 120V 60Hz 17W
Output 9V 1.3A

Code: Select all

Genesis Model 1
Power Adapter:
MK-1602
Input: 120V 60Hz 17W
Output: 9V DC 1.2A 

Code: Select all

Genesis Model 2
Power Adapter:
MK-2103
Input: 120V AV 60Hz 15W
Output: 10V DC 0.85A

Just some food for thought.

what about the power cords that are advertised as working for dreamcast/ps1/ps2/xbox?

i have a few spare systems of the above but they lack AV cables+power cords...i've seen $5 power cords at Gamestop that say that it's compatible with any of em...is this safe?...

These are all fine since the power supply is internal and just needs a 2 prong cable to the wall for power and not a AC adapter.
