I need a SegaCD AC adaptor.
It has to be the Sega brand.
Standard 9V 1.2A
I'll buy it for $5 plus $3 for USPS priority shipping. So that's $8 total.
I'm in the US.

Well, I was going to plug my NES AC adapter into the SCD.
I don't want to fry anything, but I'm really tempted to turn it on.
The NES AC is 9V and 1.3A. That's 100mA higher than what the SCD says to use.
So am I being an idiot? Should I dare do it?
I really don't want to replace my SCD, but I really want to play it.

I tried using my Nintendo RF cable for my genny. It would work ok but when i played 32x games, there would be missing graphics.

Oh and believe it or not something like 90% of all the SUDDEN failures of model 2 SCD's can be attributed to the fuse in the unit burning out. Those things went like crazy. All you have to do it replace it with a 1 amp fuse and you're fine. The one in the unit looks like a small green sausage thingy and is soldered to the board right beside the power connector.

And what does this have to do with anything?

uh.. bad idea. your PSU is constantly putting out power above its specs, which will eventually lead to a burnt out PSU.
btw, NES psus in europe and usa differ.. one's DC, the other AC.
