Ok so I finally aquired an original Japanese PC Engine, the small white model.
But, I need help picking out the right power supply for it to use in North America.
Any direct links (like say Amazon) would be appreciated.
Please help.
Sega Genesis model 1 ac adaptor.
I have a bunch of brand new video universal Power supplies that are pc engine compatible just sitting here. $7 shipped if you want one.
They work for pc engine/tg16, NES, SNES, and Genesis Model 1.
It ain't picky about the voltage but the polarity probably has to be center-negative.
The JPN/PCE spec of 9v jumped to "10.5v" in the USA/TG16 spec, almost as if they just took an adapter intended for 100v and threw it into US 110-120v outlets, which scales the output proportionally with that type. The 10% to 20% input voltage increase results in 10% to 20% increase in output voltage. 9v becomes ~9.9v to 10.8v, which is roughly "10.5v").
It's the most common size too: 5.5x2.1mm. Center negative is only common here in old Japanese game stuff or even older battery + DC jack portable devices (transitioned in the '70s).
Some Neogeo AES plugs will work (not the 5v ones), SEGA Genesis Model 1 (and Master System?), aftermarket NES (not the original that outputs AC), etc will work.
Is there a readily available replacement for SuperGrafx AC adapter?

2 options for the supergrafx here. I use the all in one and its great
Thank you.
I'd seen that site come up in google searches, but didn't think they'd sell US adapters. Decent price too, about US$20 shipped
