KeeperofLindblum Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I recently bought a Super Famicom, but it didn't come with a power adapter. I saw that the Super Nintendo one won't work for it at all, so I'm looking for a decent alternate. I was hoping to not throw out quite a bit on it, but I'm having a hard time finding a reliable one that isn't overpriced. Any suggestions or suggested products? PS - I ordered something from https://en.retrogamesupply.com/, but I'm not sure when/if that will actually ship... cause otherwise it fit the bill perfectly.

Steven Pendleton Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Here's the original one, in case you can find a seller that ships internationally. https://www.amazon.co.jp/任天堂-ACアダプタ/dp/B000066722/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_ja_JP=カタカナ&dchild=1&keywords=hvc-002&qid=1622422647&sr=8-1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t want to shell out the dough on a third party power supply, might I suggest a Sega Genesis model 1 power supply or a Master System power supply? They both use the correct voltage and polarity to power the Super Famicom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look around and see if I can find that instead. Thanks for your assistance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeeperofLindblum Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 So I ended up being an impatient fool and now I have two... I can confirm that the https://en.retrogamesupply.com/ power unit shipped (took a bit coming to me from France), and it did work. It didn't feel cheap or light, but it's not as robust as the real deal. Definitely cheaper than what I ended up doing... I bought a complete in-box version of the original power supply. It feels right and works great, so now I have TWO power supplies for my ONE Super Famicom. >_< 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Pendleton Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 It also works on the Famicom and the Virtual Boy, so in case you ever need to simultaneously have at least 2 of those plugged in simultaneously for whatever reason, you can do it. Yay, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
