Australian release of CD64, V64, V64jnr. or Z64?

Hi guys,

For a while now I've been looking around, trying to find the different prices N64 backup units are available for, as I may be buying one in the near future.

I had completely forgotten that different regions use different power cord connectors, which a prospective seller reminded me of.

I'm just wondering whether the CD64, V64, V64jnr. or Z64 copiers were ever created with Australian power cords. I know that the CD64 was made with US cords and European cords, and I also know that there was an Australian distributor of the copiers at one point, which makes me think that there was indeed an Australian version made of at least one of these machines. Does anyone have any idea which countries these were localised for?

Any info appreciated.

Cheers,
Franklint

 

The voltages used (12V and 5V) are extremely common, you can either use a PC ATX power supply (given you solder the right plug to it, s-video plug for V64 e.g.) or you can buy a power supply from me which can be fed 100-240V and outputs 12V and 5V. Then you can use a standard IEC cable to plug it into your socket.

 

Hey, thanks for the response. While I'm aware that it is quite easy to get hold of power adaptors to make the copiers fit into my socket, and this is what I have been planning to do for some time, if there was ever an Australian version made, it might be nice to try to get hold of this one, more as a curiosity than for any practical reason.

However, thanks for the advice. I'll look you up if I end up getting a foreign version.

Cheers,

Beware of 1st revision power supplies, they tend to be unreliable and overheat easily.

 

The power supply that came with my dr v64 is an auto switching power supply which can run off of anywhere from 100v to 240v. It came with some sort of weird euro power cord that had big pins but all I needed to do is connect a regular usa computer power cord to it and it works great on our 110v power. The powersupply that the system came with has the Bung (makers of the v64) name on it.

Plus the v64 has a switch on the back which allows it to switch between NTSC and PAL so no matter what video signal or power voltage you have it should work.
