Getting a bare Japanese model 1 MD without any cables. Would one of these work? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SEGA-CD-...Accessories&hash=item2a201e7653#ht_1387wt_922 Just wondering as I have heard that Japanese model 1s are rated at 13w.
Barring differences unknown to me, I'd expect Japanese model 1 to draw marginally less power. No RF modulator.
I used one of those unregulated PSUs on the Japanese Mega Drive I have... 13W on the base and it works well! I always double check with the sellers before buying to make sure there are plenty of Volts, Amps, etc. The ones I have are 9V 1110mA by PowerMaster, looks more like the second one on the eBay photos but doesn't have a right angle connector. They are awesome because they fit side by side so damn well. * Shakes fist at regulated power supplies with their giant form factor *
