Wanted : 220V NTSC SNES Power Supply

Anyone has one of those and wants to get rid of it?

 

Where are you based? If in the UK then Maplins sell a multivoltage PSU (rated a least 1.2A) and the correct tip for it.

 

220V NTSC? That's unusual! Is this for an American SNES to be used in Europe? It uses a different connector, you'll need to use the original PSU with a step-down.

 

But I remember a friend of mine using a NTSC SNES at its home...and I remember the Zelda : lttp playing way quickier :lol:
Anyway, a stepdown gets too costy. I'll consider modding it.

 

You can get a step-down for around £15-25, and it'll work on most consoles if you decide to get more imports.

Or put a 60Hz switch in a PAL console, if that's all you want it for

 

Not actually. Just have no power supply for that SNES. Thats all. I dont care about the 50/60 Hz.

 

I don't think any legitimate 220V adapters exist. The only place you'll really see NTSC SNES outside the Americas is Taiwan which also uses 110V.

You could make your own "official" one by swapping a PAL adapter's coord with a NTSC one That's what I'd do.

 

! Yes that's what I was thinking to do as well!

 

I wouldn't recommend it, though. It is hard to get those units open and sealed again without special tools, or damaging them.

cheap step-down (UK spec)

cheap US PSU

 

I'm with Retro on this one....

 

How bout modding the SFC's PSU connector?

 

You could - as long as you're doing this correctly and not some half-assed botch job ;-)

 

Believe me I just burned a cartridge because of a "half-asseted both job" and dont want to do it anymore!

 

In the US we don't use 220v outlets for anything but appliances. Infact the only ones I am pretty sure of is the clothes dryer and possibly the washer too. Everything else is 110v. I would definitely advise that you not be cheap and try to hack some solution together. Use a good quality step down converter with a US SNES AC Adapter. If you have a imported US SNES I'm sure you might get another US or Japanese console in the future so you might as well have a step-down for that.

I noticed when I got my Super Famicom that my Super Nintendo AC Adapter wouldn't work because of the different power jack on the back of the SFC. Had to get a different AC Adapter for that.
