>500mA max
What the hell am I supposed to play on this, Bed Bugs?

It would work perfectly fine for a Genesis 2.

Definitely recommend this one. God-tier quality and a very long list of compatible consoles+ combinations thereof. About the only one it can't do is the North American SNES.

Try a bunch. Find good cheap chink shit. Stock up. I did that years ago and have 1-3A shit that still works great. Don't even know or care if the factory still exists.

>$50 for a power cable
holy shit

Buy the ones which support 5v and 9v, with interchangeable tips, the ones with two prongs so you can change the connector polarity if necessary, 2ma minimun. With them you are set for most of the things out there.

Also don't go and buy the cheapest from aliexpress or ebay, buy it from retail brands like hama and such, maybe it come from the same chink factory but at least these brands buy the better batches and do some Q&A as they don't want to be sued for burning someone else's house.

Nah I get that. Plus it's handmade. If I didn't already have all of these power adapters individually it'd be a good deal.

>literally all newer technology use cheap chink power supplies
>their failure rate is almost 0

>HURR DURR DONT BUY CHINK SHIT, BUY A 25 YEARS OLD POWER SUPPLY WITH COPPER CABLES SO IT CAN MELT OVERTIME

I have an adapter related question, since I am thinking of getting a super famicom. I was wondering if the standard adapter it has, was safely compatible with US power output or if it would mess up the system?

What's with the moderation here lately? Seems a bit merchant-friendly...

Anyhow, I'd take a modern power supply over some clapped-out original every time.

>>3975273
That looks like an accident waiting to happen.

Should work fine they use the same standard as north America. An NES power supply will work for the super famicom too I think

That is very, very wrong and will instantly kill an FC or SFC. NES power supply is AC, basically all other consoles ever use DC supplies. If you need 9V DC center pin negative, 1A. A genesis model 2 adapter will work for FC and SFC in the US.

In some posts I found while doing a bit of looking into this, they mention using a model 1 ac adapter? Is there a big difference between them?

>>3982327
The polarity is reversed, for one.

Getting that wrong will also toast your console, or at the very least blow an internal component.

>>3982304
You mean model 1. The Genesis model 2 has a different plug.

Well you got shitty covered.

I used the two prong shit for a while but it's a pain in the ass. The tips are always coming off and I have to plug it back in and test it because different adapters have different marking and I had a lot.
In the end I settled on 9V adapters with 5.5mm center negative which works with most things. Then I have some 1-3 cables so I can use a single high ma adapter to connect multiple devices. Then adapters from 5.5mm to other shit like different barrels or whatever the SNES shit is. I have adapters that change polarity so I can power things with different center off the same adapter. Finally I have some buck converters to step the voltage up/down.
It might sound a bit complicated but I have more than a dozen consoles hooked up that run on DC plus CDs and shit. This gives me more flexibility than the retrodc and costs a fraction of the price.
