I always confuse this on the CD units. My CDZ comes with a US Power Supply, so should I buy this adapter? Is a step-down converter needed, despite my power supply being US? 
 

Edit: The answer I receive will determine whether I buy it or not.

Good question Mike. I think that @japangameonline is the best person to ask regarding the question bro. He's also a member here and would be glad to help answer all your inquiries since he knows best for this piece bro. :)

I have seen a few homebrew developers announcing PSP ports for their games, I suppose this will be just an SD card or an online download containing a ROM and an emulator.

Finally doing some overdue work to fix some issues, anyone remember these units?  : D

If nobody told me I wouldn't believe this is a product that was sold for a premium price by the company that currently can be considered the leader in the retro gaming market. But I guess that in 2011 there wasn't a lot of info about how to consolize an MVS, so for some people it might have looked like a good deal.

I would go with @Charlie Cat's suggestion bro. If your CDZ unit is already working fine thou, I wouldn't think you need a step-down adapter.🤔

@remowilliams Good luck with fixing up that PCB, especially one that looks like it had its traces ruined.

Luckily there was no trace damage, even with the shoddy work..

I know right.  Had the inside of that been visible at the time of sales, well.. that would have done it for the 'premium' image.  And consider that image above is after I had already picked off quite a bit of hot glue for testing.

Thanks!  She's back up and running properly now.

 

Backup RAM replacement was a success, solving those issues.  I also replaced the original badly bodged in battery with a nice new holder.

Next problem was the battery draining at a rate where it'd maybe make it a day or so.  So on to the charging area which is luckily a simple circuit...

 

Don't have the SMT diodes on hand so used some small through hole.  That made it better, but still not good.

Last check was C3 and surprise - that little bugger is bad and parasitically draining the battery.

@Charlie Cat and @shane857,

 

I heard back from the person you said to contact, Anthony. He said the CDZ will be fine with the US power supply that was included in my package, so I don’t need a step-down converter. This is good news!!

Excellent Mike. The gentleman is name Antonio. A fantastic member in the community and always glad to see him browse by the thread to see the latest from us. Glad he was to your assistance Mike. :)

I’ve already told Anthony, so I wanted to tell the thread.

 

I just reopened my Youtube account after buying a new capture device. To celebrate, I have recorded (and uploaded) a Longplay of Crossed Swords II.

 

The audio is a little wonky because I was still learning to use the capture device, but I have a handle on it now. Future videos will not sound the same.

 

Enough talk; enjoy the video! Please like the video and subscribe, please!

 

(Recorded on REAL hardware!)

You're welcome Remo. A pleasure seeing you back on the thread. When I saw you post here, it really made my day. You were with us during the beginning of the early days of the Neo-Geo thread. So glad you came by to share the amazing progress on you done with your Neo-Geo board.

The kickstarter for Gladmort is a smashing success as it continues to grow in funds. So Philippe Nguyen  from JoshProd/PixelHeart shared a video for us to thank us for all the support. :)

@Charlie Cat, This is great news! Do you know when they will Kickstart/sell the MVS version??

 

Edit: I’ll even settle for a CD version!
