Super Famicom Questions!

[ChickenManDan]

Can a regular Power and video adapter for an SNES be used on a super Famicom? If not what kind of AC do you need? If you need a diffrent video adapter, what is it, and where can you get it?

How about the video cable?

Does the AC for the Super Famicom need to be 9v?

 

[Subura]

9v Powersupply , just go to radio shack they've got um

It depends on what country the SNES is from.

The North American SNES and Japanese Super Famicom require 9-10 volts DC input, whereas the PAL SNES consoles need 9 volts *AC*. (This is a weird anomaly carried over from the NES.)

The US and Japanese machines have exactly the same video output too. In fact, the two consoles are internally identical, it's only the plastic outer shell that's different.
