SuperGrafx PSU question   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #9324 of 9392 |
Hi all

I`m new here and I just found this group while googling for answers
for this problem, so I thought I`d pick your brains. I have two PC
Engine consoles at the moment, a US turbo duo and a japanese
SuperGrafx. I recieved the Japanese SuperGrafx machine yesterday from
somebody on ebay without a power supply and I checked on the bottom of
the unit and it is expecting a 9Volt DC input so I took the power
supply from my Turbo Duo and connected it, put in my nearly new Jackie
Chan Jap HUCARD, turned the machine on but I cannot get anything out
of the system whatsoever (the TV says no signal, as if the console is
not even turned on, yes I have triple checked connections)

The specs of my power supply are (according to the top of it)

In 240V AC 50hz
Out 9V DC 1.4A

And the supply works perfect with my US Turbo Duo, can anyone tell me
if this should work with the Supergrafx too? I read you could also use
a Megadrive PSU but the connector from mine doesnt seem to be the
right size to physically fit into the Supergrafx.

Any help would grately be appreciated as I`m getting Macross
withdrawal since the CD drive in my Duo stopped working :)

Yeah, I assume that a closer match would be safer. I've also heard of complications with using foreign systems in different regions. Supposedly, using a...
