Need a little help on this. Just aquired a PC Engine DUO but the PSU died after one night in the stepdown. The specs on the original Japanese PSU are 10V, 1000mA, DC. I had to build a new PSU from various parts but the closest I could get was 9V, 1000mA, DC as finding anything 10V is near impossible (most electronic stores carry either 9V or 12V). I don't know if I'm imagining things but I think the colours on screen aren't as bright as they were when it was running on the original PSU. But at least it works.
However I have an old Megadrive 1 PSU that is rated at 10V, 1200mA, DC. Before I butcher another PSU by soldering on a plug that fits the DUO I thought I would ask; which would be the better to have running through the console? Correct Voltage but higher amperage or a lower voltage but correct amps? Any help on this would be greatly appriciated.
