Sorry guys but I need to get this clear in my head in case I misunderstood the original question.....
I have a US Gamecube and have been using a stepdown convertor for power so as not to fry it. Are you saying that I can just use a UK GameCube Power lead instead? I live in the UK.
The Gamecube mains adaptor takes either 120v or 240v (depending on which region the machine is) and outputs correct voltage for the system (which is the same for all Cubes)
What was done to that Dreamcast is a totally different matter - you didnt use a different mains adaptor, you simply plugged the machine into 240v. The transformer (takes voltage in and converts to correct values for the internal functions) on a Dreamcast is inside the machine. On the Gamecube the transformer is outside the machine (the mains adaptor)
You can see what voltages the Cube adaptor outputs to the machine - it's written on it. Same thing applies to the N64 - any mains adaptor will work as long as you supply the correct voltage (eg: you dont plug a 120v adaptor into 240v current obviously)
