Frequently Asked Questions
The original output AC but yours output DC, will my console work properly?
The original output AC but this console doesn't use it directly, it go through a rectifier and filter to produce DC. So it doesn't matter, if you give this console AC or DC. It will be converted to DC.
I purchase one on another website but now I have noise that look like snow or wave on the video, can yours resolve this problem?
It is very common for aftermarket charger to add noise on the video signal (RGB, composite or S-video) on old hardware. I experience the same problem when I first start retro gaming. I rigorously tested and selected a good manufacturer to avoid this problem so I can fully guarantee that this one will not alter the video quality.
The original input voltage (110V or 230V) is different from my country main voltage, do I have to use a step down transformer ?
They are the multi-norm (110V and 230V) so you don't need to use a step-down transformer. I would even advise not using it specifically with these because most of the time it will be directly on top of the step-down transformer which generates heat that would make it thinks it's overheating and could trigger its electronic protection. You just need to choose the plug of your country not the plug of the origin's country of the console.
The original output voltage (9V, 10V, ...) is different from your output voltage, can it damage my console?
No, you can't damage your console, the console has a tolerance in terms of voltage. The original are unregulated, so the voltage indicated on the sticker is not real, it's just an approximation, the real voltage can vary around ±3V depending on the load. Mine are regulated, so the real voltage matches the sticker. After that, this voltage is regulated inside the console to create a working voltage (5V most of the time).
The current (A or mA) of yours is higher than the original current, can it damage my console?
The current value indicated on it is the maximum current the it can deliver, the console determines what quantity of current it needs. Having slightly more power has no impact and have no risk of damaging the device.
