    64dd plugs into n64 and gets the power from it. No need for extra power supply.

    Yes as N64 run on 5/12V which goes from the power adapter.

    If you do then I recommend adding a splash of olive oil and a few sprigs of rosemary and sage. :lol:

    Well,
    you can interchange saturn PSUs, dreamcast PSUs and some others.
    but it's easiest when the console got an external PSU like n64, snes, neo geo etc.
    so yes, it works for a lot of consoles!

    Don't use a Euro SNES PSU on a Superfamicom though. SFC's need AC while the SNES needs DC.

    Er no, the SFC is a 9V DC PSU the SNES is a 10V AC PSU. You can use a DC PSU on a SNES, although the bridge rectifier will be stressed on two diodes, although if you can open the machine then it's quite easy to bypass the circuit completely so you can use a 9V DC PSU fine.

    Ah, yes. I just checked and you're right. I though it was the other way round. Sorry! :banghead:

    Shouldn't this thread become more general? for example which machines can be played with other region plugs F.E? It would come very handy for the guys of the forum with lots of consoles..
