Just use a Master System 1, Master System 2 or Mega Drive 1 PSU.

Another option is to grab one of those PSU's from JayCar or DIckSmith's that come with a range of reversible tips.

Yep, that will work though it's rather expensive. You can get the exact same thing from Hong Kong for around $5 landed, you just have to be prepared to wait 2-3 weeks for it to arrive.

If you buy from Hong Kong, I recommend buying one with a fuse from a seller that knows what he is selling.
The better soldering on those cheap things, the cleaner the DC output will be. And a fuse will prevent overheating.

Kinda. A DC power adapter, like the Famicom, Megadrive/genesis 1, SFC etc will work on either system. The original NES adapter is AC, and will fry a Famicom.

I like that NES accepts both AC and DC adapters natively. :)

I hope this hasn't been awnsered yet, but I recently got a Power Player Super Joy III Famiclone from Goodwill for 3 bucks.  Unfortuately the battery pack is missing and it didn't come with an adapter, I don't suppose the adapter from an NES Toaster will work will it?  Heres the link to the PPSJ III power requirements. " 9 volt (negative tip) DC power-adapter  " http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/Power_Player_Super_Joy_III  What about any other systems?

In USA, you'd want a Famicom equivalent adapter.

NES adapter isn't right. That provides AC instead.

127 V, 220 V    60 Hz

This is the voltage and the frequency of my country. is it ok to use the original famicom AC Adapter ?
if not. please give me some link from ebay or amazon so i can buy the right one.

* Excuse me, I can not understand the topic clearly because of my bad English.
used Google trans..

Thank you very much.

127 V is high but could work, if not recommended.

220 V will burn up the famicom AC adapter.

Wrong polarity. Cut & switch the wires if you want to use that on your Famicom.
