+eebuckeye Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Does anyone make a good quality universal power supply with adapters that can be used for classic consoles and portable? I bought a cheap one from Amazon that gets decent reviews but it is cheap. It has different size plugs, etc.. but the quality is lacking.

newtmonkey Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) I use the one covered by RetroRGB here, with my Famicom, PC Engine, and Super Famicom: https://www.retrorgb.com/quality-psus-for-classic-consoles.html You use the same power supply for everything, but switch out the pigtail adapter for whatever system you're connecting. I have to admit that the PSU feels "cheap" (very light), but it works perfectly. I've used it for hours and hours with my Fami, PCE, and Super Fami, with no problems whatsoever. The same site also links to a list of individual replacement Triad power supplies for all systems: http://www.firebrandx.com/triads.html Edited February 13, 2021 by newtmonkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newtmonkey Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 As a follow-up to my post above, I've been using the TRIAD power supply with cable adapters for several systems without any issue. Very solid little power supply, even if it feels light/cheap. I've been using it regularly with: - "AV" Famicom - Super Famciom - PC Engine (Coregrafx) - Megadrive 2 Highly recommended! I just leave the TRIAD PS plugged in permanently, and swap the cable adapter out for whatever system I'm using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonGrafx-16 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I've used a 1-Spot stompbox PSU for consoles before (standard 9v center -) worked great with my PC Engine and model 1 Genesis.
