Title: Will this power cord work on a famicom?
Post by: Corn holo on April 22, 2012, 05:30:08 pm
Hi, I found this adapter on amazon and was wondering if it can work on a famicom without damage?  Additionally, will this power source need a step down converter?
Thanks..

Yes that would work on a Famicom if configured correctly. Also it will work anywhere in the world with a suitable plug adapter (no stepdown transformer needed).

If that adapter will work with the Famicom, it'll also work with the TG-16 as they use the same type of power supply.
