I've had some bad luck so far on cdr's for the interface unit I just finished repairing. Memorex 700mb ones are no go, hopefully some Sony 650's I got will do the trick.

Alright, I got the unit in. Coregrafx works great, CD-ROM2 unit powers on, i can hear the motor whir, but no cd rotation. Opened it up and, you guessed it, yellowed out middle gear that basically crumbled to dust when i tapped it with my screwdriver. So i guess I just need one of those and I'm good to go.

Quote from: Beartruck on 02/05/2018, 09:27 AMHi guys, after months of ebay stalking, I finally managed to find a CD-ROM2 unit for a decent price. As the title implies, I just need to know what kind of AC adapter would work best on it. I am from the United States. I already have an adapter I'm using for my white base pc engine, so I don't know if that would be compatible or not. Sorry if I come off like a newb, but I wanted to ask the experts.

Is that picture of the actually item you bought? Looks like it comes with the correct ac adapter needed.
I've heard stories about different voltage requirements between US and Japanese outlets, so I wanted to be doubly safe. Necro's link is handy though, as the seller lost the ac adapter anyway (though I did get a discount in exchange).

I'm fairly new to the game(only 15/96 turbochip games), but I'd love to enter and give it a go!

After only picking up the odd 2-3 games for the turbo back in college, I got back into it. Over the past month, ive managed to find in case copies of Vigilante, Keith courage and Galaga 90. I also found a card only copy of Dragon's curse. So far, Dragon's curse feels like the best version of the dragon's trap and I love the branching paths in Galaga 90.
