Title: Famicom Power Suply
Post by: Dominic on August 16, 2011, 02:11:12 pm
Hi guys ! I know this have been covered a whole lot on this forum. I know that I should use a DC 10V 850mA thingie.

What I would like to know is if I can use this particular power adapter :

It's called Nintendo AC Adapter

Model no. : NES-002
Input : AC120V 60 Hz 17W
Output: AC9V 1.3A

It says "Power suply for use with video game NES-001 only"

I didn't dare trying it yet because i'm afraid to fry my FC. I'm dying to play right now tough ! should i try it ?

Do not use that power adapter.  It outputs AC while the Famicom is expecting DC.  I can tell you from experience that it will kill your Famicom if you try it  :'(
