Title: Creation console - What is the best use of the power supply?
Post by: Mega Mania on April 22, 2015, 11:03:15 am
Creation console (PAL-B) and European power supply


Question:
What power supply / AC adapter should I use with Creation console?

- Someone console's power supply, such as Master System 1 first model?
or
- Buy a new power supply?


Pictures (opened) and the last picture is specifications (from instruction manual).

Please add one photo of power/av board's traces side. So far seems to be the same as regular Famicom power circuit.

It seems it can accept a standard famicom adapter from the power specifications, but I am not sure.

Yes, but we have to find out the polarity.

Yep - the same as Famicom - center pin negative, barrel positive.

I haven't heard barrel positive used to describe the specs of a famicom power supply before. Can you elaborate?

Barrel = outer ring. The dc-plug is called "barrel connector" or "concentric barrel connectors"

Standard DC plug has negative outer ring and positive center pin/hole/tip.
Megadrive I and Famicom (and 80% of clones) have negative center pin.

Can I use with the Master System 1 (first model) power supply?

Polarity and voltage is correct. If you can fit it in then you are good to go, but in my opinion SMS adapter had a bit smaller plug than sega genesis/megadrive I.
