I just picked up a lot of stuff off of Craigslist which included

This is an Odyssey 2 power supply. I'm not sure which measurement means what exactly, but I know when looking at power requirements there are certain values that are basically "requires at least this much" and others that mean "can't handle more than this". If anyone who's savvy about this kinda stuff knows...

It seems like they should be compatible from what I can tell from that picture, but I'm obviously not sure.

I had one previously that used an Atari 2600 style plug, but this one is more NES like. I don't know if that'd mean they could be different as well.

thanks for the input man

Yeah that power supply would burn it up. It's okay to use one rated for higher amperage but not one that puts out higher voltage - although 12v should probably be okay.

Well it's obviously 5v under what the oddyssey is rated to handle.

You're extremely unlikely to break anything but the console may not perform correctly if under-volted.

>>3971701
Thats' what I was afraid of.

I'll just have to hunt down an NES adapter or something I suppose.

Thanks for the help, Anons.

>>3971706
Well maybe I was wrong, I'm still worried as all I've read elsewhere is also conflicting.

Unless I can find some concrete evidence it'll be fine I'll just wait and order a cable online.

>>3971706
I meant over of course rather than under. Sorry, long day.

For what it's worth my official megadrive power supply puts out 14v versus the console's rating of 10v and that's been rocking just fine for over 25 years. Old consoles were made of strong stuff...

>>3971717
looks like you can find OEM odyssey 2 A/C adapters for under 15 bucks shipped on ebay.

>>3971723
My console is a later model and won't be compatible with those, unless there's a cheap adapter for such things.

I honestly haven't had to buy that many adapters and never for power purposes, only audio/video.

>>3971706
I think you need to reread what OP posted. He's plugging a 16.2vac power supply that's for the ITV2 into the Odyssey, which uses an 11v adapter.

>>3971768
I corrected myself already.

You can stand down now.

>>3971735
Just go to Goodwill and buy a 12v adapter that's rated 1 amp (1000ma) or higher and has the right shaped tip. I don't see a stated tip polarity on the adapter but if the one you get doesn't work, unplug it quickly, cut and strip its wires and reverse them.

>polarity
>ac

You seriously need to shut the fuck up now Gramps before you burn out your one remaining brain cell.

>>3971797
Oh how about that, Odysseys have AC power supplies like NES. I stand corrected.

Now that that's been pointed out, I'm sure the Odyssey has a rectifier in it that isn't going to give a fuck about the 16vdc coming from the INTV2's power supply

I'm honestly just more confused now.

But according to >>3971817 and another site there's some kind of protection built in.

I'm very tempted by this thing, I had one before but not with the Voice thing.

I'm gonna play it for a few and see how it goes, get my fill and pick up an offical/other adapter when I spot a decent price.

>>3971842
It'll be fine just like I pointed out earlier.

Why people listen to tripfags over anon is beyond me. It's just a few letters in the name field...
