Do AV famicom's and regular ones have the same power requirements?

[ulera]

I know this is probably a VERY silly question, but I just bought one of Sensaiman's AV famicoms, and I know that a model 1 genesis power supply will run a regular famicom on American power, but is the same true for an AV famicom? I would be crushed if I fried this thing as soon as I unpacked it so I just want to make sure.

It is true.

Fantastic!

Thank you.

I'm having trouble finding actual genesis adapters, but I'm finding loades of ones advertised as working on the Genesis, SNES and NES. will these work?

Actually, could someone just link me to a working adapter?

Yes, the replacements for Genesis, NES will work just fine. Just don't use an original NES adapter.

Because the people at Famicom Dojo said an NES adapter will blow a fuse on a famicom

Specifically it's because the NES PSU outputs AC voltage as opposed to DC that the Famicom needs. Having the opposite setup (Famicom PSU on an NES) works fine however.

Yes. Nintendo shared power requirements between Famicom, AV Famicom, Super Famicom, Super Famicom Jr, or Virtual Boy.

I don't know of any of them had an updated power supply mentioning the later systems. NoA did such updates (like newer US SNES power supplies labeled for Virtual Boy). But I'm not sure about Japan.
