Oh, well. I gotta see how good my craftsmanship is.

Thanks!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Is it possible to use a PC-FX controller on a PC Engine?]

I got a PC-FX controller in a lot, but I don't have the console. Since I have a PC Engine, I was hoping to find a way to use it with an adapter. It's a nice controller.

Just to register, I found this: http://www.gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=repair:pcepowersupplies

White PC Engine and Core Grafx need a 9v center negative power supply.  They can use a Genesis/MegaDrive 1 power supply. 

Cool, very good to be sure now. Thank you very much!

Duo-r/rx can use a Genesis/MegaDrive 2 power supply, PS2 Slim power supply, others...  Regualr Duo doesn't really have another console that has the same size tip that i am aware of (besides a couple other late PC engine consoles).  Its tip size is  6.3mm x 3.0mm and has a center positive tip.

This might be useful but they dont have the tip sizes listed:

I know many people sell PCE/Coregrafx systems with Genesis compatible power supplies and some sell Duo R/RX systems with PSOne power supplies.

PS2 Slim and PSOne power supplies? Really? I didn't even considered more recent consoles, that's great!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / PC Engine/Core Grafx/DUO power supply info: which adapter can I use?]

Hi everyone! First post here, just got my firts PC Engine. 

I searched information about power supply options for the old white model and I'm having hard time to find it. I found some tips about Turbo Duo in one topic, CD-ROM² in another and so on. How about to get everything in one topic so everyone can check it?

I got a white PC Engine and the first Core Grafx, both without cables and controllers. I don't know the specs of the power supply for the various PC Engine models. I saw at Classic Game Room youtube channel that the guy was using a Model 1 Sega Genesis power adapter with the Core Grafx, but I don't want to test it without checking because I don't want to fry anything. I already had some consoles with their power adapters: japanese Mega Drive Model 1 (MK-1602 brick), brazilian Master System Model 2 (don't have the number but looks like the small one, MK-3025), american Super Nintendo and I'm waiting a complete Super 32X to arrive (with it's MK-2103 power supply).

For specs of the SEGA bricks, I found this: http://www.gametrog.com/GAMETROG/How_which_do_i_need_SEGA_AC_Power_Supply_Information_Specs_Model_mk-3025_mk-1602_mk-2103_mk-1479_mk-4122_aa-s95j.html

Can I use one of those power adapters I have in my PCE/CGfx consoles or do I need to get one for them (and what are the specifications do I need to look)? What can I use from other consoles to provide power for the PCE family? What are the specs for each of the systems? It would be really cool if I get a confirmation of what I found in some topics: 

- PC Engine/ Turbografx-16/ CoreGrafx: will work with Model 1 Mega Drive and Master System powers adapters
- Interface Unit + PCE + CD-ROM²: will work with Model 1 Mega Drive power adapter
- PC Engine DUO: will it work with Model 1 Mega Drive power adapter (really not sure  )
- DUO-R/RX: ???

Thank you for the attention.
