    Hello,

    Does a NES NTSC console works with NES PAL or SNES PAL power adapter?
    If I remember correctly some time ago a friend of mine was using the NES PAL power adapter on a NES NTSC console and it worked but because it was long ago I'm not very sure if I remember correctly...

    Thanks!

    No, I don't think so. USA is DC but UK is AC I think. I managed to kill my Virtual boy by using a UK SNES power adapter after getting bad advice online, so be careful!

    The NTSC US nes uses AC just like the pal nes/snes so it should work great.

    After a little searching I've found a good quality picture with the bottom of the NES NTSC console:

    Here is a good quality picture with the bottom of the NES PAL console:

    As you can see in the pictures is the same as PAL.
    This is the bottom of a SNES PAL console:

    Now for power adapters:

    - NES PAL: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/C9MAAOSwm~daZPPl/s-l1600.jpg

    Thank you Pikkon for your suggestion.

    Also a master system/model 1 mega drive psu will also get the job done.

    Since the nes uses AC there's no polarity so if you have a psu that has similar specs it being ac or dc that also will work.
