Stepdown Transformer JPN DC?

[analog dog]

hi just a quickie
Today I got JPN DC but need to know what voltage stepdown I need.
Can you help,ta!

75W Minimum.

When I had a USA Dreamcast I used a 45w adaptor. Pretty sure the machine is only rated for about 25w.

This should be of help

That's right. DC is the last of the "normal" stepdown-using consoles.

I took that info from the official ntsc-uk stepdown faq.

Anything that can handle a PS1, Saturn, PC-FX etc will handle a DC just fine. At launch there were initial fears about it needing to output at 100v instead of 110v, but they were soon rubbished.

Just out of interest, does anyone know if you can just open the machine up and replace the transformer board with a UK one?

You can yers.

Those figures are just recommendations. They are all a bit higher than the minimum needed, but the higher the better to avoid a hot transformer.
