Should be okay (the Famicom), but do not try that adapter again. Those cheap adapters can have different output than is written on them. Try to measure the output if you can.

Phew Thanks , tommorow i will take it 2 a Electronics expert , so he could test it and further on what will happen if you put the polarity wrong?

I'm going to have to keep this in mind.

So are the lower voltage AC Adapters that will work on Famicom readily available in the US?

I'm wondering if I should buy a couple extra in my last months here before coming back to the states... Keep stocked up just in case.


I don't k ow what you mean by 'readily available', but I have around 600 of them (NOS high quality, solid ones from the 90s, not the cheap-o junky featherweight ones made today) in stock. Available at local stores? That depends on the area...

For some reason I can't find the correct dimensions for the twin famicom power supply plug.
I have a 2.5x5.5 mm that fits. Is that the best measurement?
