JAP SNES on a UK SNES PSU

From what I've read, JAP SNES requires 9V DC whereas UK SNES will take 9V AC. Is it possible to fit a simple full wave rectifier (ie 4 diodes) and use a UK PSU on a JPN SNES?

 

You also could get a Sega power supply, they work with the Super Famicom.
They look like this, be sure the polarity matches:

 

yes, I do this with snes jnrs I mod.

 

Hmmm I have used my UK PAL NES PSU on my Super Famicom for the last year or so with no issues!!

 

9V is pretty useless, so it's likely converting it to 5v inside anyway. It's possible that it can cope with DC or AC, but I wouldn't personally risk it without doing some more investigation.

 

There is obviously something strange going on there - the output connector on the UK version of the NES/SNES PSU has a larger outside diameter than the one on a US SNES or a Super Famicom and won't even fit.

 

Ah, that's a bummer. My plan was to just cut a few traces and chuck in a couple of diodes, didn't realise that the plugs were of different diameter. I'll just grab a DC PSU instead.
