Pal dreamcast power supply in NTSC dreamcast?

Hello all. I was wondering if dreamcast power supply from PAL dreamcast would work in NTSC dreamcast? Thank you in advance.

 

It's working fine in mine, so... yes

 

Yes, that works. I've swapped multiple power supplies, no problem. There is even a 3rd party universal power supply, which accept 110~240 volt, 50/60 hz.

 

Yes though the contacts are on diffrent sides of the pins, they still work.

I have a PAL PSU in both my Japanese and USA Dreamcasts with no issues.

 

Yep!
It works and that's how I assembled my overclocked NTSC DC with 240VAC PSU

 

I needed that question answered as well, but forgot all about it. Thanks

 

Would a PAL PSU be ok in an NTSC VA0 Dreamcast?

I remember reading somewhere that either the VA0 or VA1's PSU had a lower power output than the other. Can't remember which way round it was.

 

I can't forsee a probl;m they should all use 12v 5v and 3.3v wth sufficient amperes?

 

May I be so bold as to enquire what exactly an NTSC VA0 Dreamcast is?

 

@Consumed
The early revision with heatpipes/metal fan combo. I think mines is an Asian version, HKT-3010, NTSC-J.
There's no modem, just a blank cover with a jumper pcb inside.
Come to think of it, I wonder if there were ever any VA0 PAL consoles, with them being released almost a year after NTSC ones.

@LeGIt
Hopefully there's no problem, I seem to recall reading on a forum somewhere of someone who swapped power supplies between an NTSC & PAL DC and had problems on one of the units. Someone told him it was the PSU from one of the revisions had a lower power output.

Can't find the forum anymore, hopefully he was talking a load of balls.

 

Funny thing: The Dreamcast PCB sans PSU has a very wide strip on the outside which is just connected to ground, no other traces routed there.
If you file it a few mm on each side, the whole pcb fits into a 5 1/4 inch slot quite nicely.
Now, the voltages it needs are 12V and 5V (and maybe 3.3V, don't remember for sure).
If you use longer cables for the GD-rom and mount it on a slide-out tray, and connect the video-out to the internal video-in of a TV card in a PC... you see where this is headed, don't you?

 

@ bobzee, thanks for the info
