Hello, I'm from Brazil and bought a Super Famicom on a site without knowing that it is working is because AC Adapter. My doubt is: I have a Ac Adapter here that has the following specifications:
______________________________
Input: AC 100-240V - 50/60Hz 0.36A
Output: DC 9V 1A -----
______________________________

Will this AC Adapter will work on it? And another doubt: The Nintendo Famicom usually give fewer defects than the NES or not? Thanks to all and sorry if the spelling is poor because I translated with Google Translator. Obrigado.  :)

Voltage and current are OK, you just need to check the polarity now. It should be like this:


As for your second question, the Famicom, being a top loading design, does not suffer from the cartridge slot problems that the NES has. Also it does not have a lockout chip so that's one less point of failure and it will play games from all regions with an appropriate adapter.

The Super Famicom uses the opposite polarity so don't get a PSU with the polarity as shown above.

Thanks for responding, it is right there, just tell me one thing: If the problem comes with video game that will be some kind of fix for it? And games clones pins 60 act on it smoothly? Thank you.

The most common problems with the Super Famicom / Super Nintendo are caused by a dirty cartridge slot or by a blown fuse, both of which are easy to fix.

Pirate games (I assume we're talking about Famicom now) work fine for the most part since there are no lockout mechanisms, with small exceptions among the latest and cheapest made multicarts from China and the like.

Sorry buddy, but I think I described the evil machine is not the Super Famicom, Nintendo's Famicom 8 Bit. Will this AC Adapter will work on it?

Both the Famicom and the Super Famicom use the same AC adapter. ;)

I can confirm this.
I don't buy, sell or trade at moment.
But my question is how hackers at that time were able to hack those games?(c)krzy

Works on Virtual Boy too!

A Genesis model 1 AC adapter will work as well! I use that one adapter for almost everything these days since I don't have official adapters for my Fami, TG16, SFC or Neo Geo.
