I definitely believe/appreciate all the help so far. It's just the weird CD reading thing that threw me off really.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine Duo stepdown transformer]

oh okay, i wasn't sure if it was, between doujindance warnings against 120v and the overheating i decided it was probably that, i assumed doujindance repair would have fixed that or something.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / PC Engine PAD-124 official power supply (10V)]

Rated at 10V, 1A. These are the PAD 124 power supplies.
It looks like new and functionally is flawless.
I am hoping to get $18 + shipping for it.
Shipping is from USA zipcode 01845.

2000 yen is still not bad given what they usually go for. So thank you, i appreciate it.

Normally I wouldnt not mind too much that the console itself was getting hot, but it seems to impact CD drive performance. As in, if it's getting hot after about an hour of play, I need to let it be turned off and cool down before it'll read a game properly again.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine Duo stepdown transformer]

Hmm, I'm rethinking if I need one

I was playing my Duo for a good 45 minutes to an hour before I went to change discs, when I did I noticed the Duo was getting pretty warm around the Duo logo area. After trying to swap discs, everything I put in would get read by the audio CD player.

I am currently letting it cool down but it seriously is getting too warm for me to think it's safe to use with the 100V adapter in a 120V outlet.

EDIT: I let it cool down for about an hour and it worked perfectly fine again So I'm thinking I need to do something about the power supply situation? I know PC Engines, finicky as they are, are usually just fine with 120v power, but the non-R/RX Duos are very very picky!

Need either one, shipped to USA 01845!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine Duo stepdown transformer]

Thanks. Even though it's a doujindance recapped system I wanted to be extra careful with it since the audio hardware can act up if the voltage regulator is getting too hot.

So I can just use the 100V PSU? Would it be better for me to find a 120V PSU with the same specs? I just want to keep the voltage regulator from running hotter than it needs to.

OMG so rarez!

Nobody ever made a Famicom EXT to PCE adapter, did they?

I ask because I have Ide Yosuke Mahjong II for Famicom with the controller and it looks exactly like that plus a couple buttons.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine Duo stepdown transformer]

Thanks... I should mention I'm in the USA so I need it to convert to USA 120V!

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to purchase an arcade card duo, hopefully with its case.
Shipping to 01845
Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I did a quick search here and noticed plenty of recommendations for using stepdown converters, but I'm not quite sure what I need. I looks like all the ones I'm looking at do 110V not 100V. Is this going to be fine for me anyway or do I need to find one that specifies 100V?

It is on its way from Japan right now with the original 100V power supply.

Thanks in advance. I would really like to spend as little as possible
