    famicom psu question

    I'm importing a famicom and I need a step down converter. I bought one, 45w. On the box is says: "this converter converts a 220-240VAC main outlet to a 110VAC NEMA 1-15R outlet." Which wikipedia tells me is an american system. Will this kill my famicom? I assume the famicom needs 100v. I know little about electricity, please help.

    You can run a Famicom with a UK Mega Drive 1 PSU. The difference between 100v and 110v is minor, so you'll be OK with that step-down too.
    Kept you waiting, huh?

      Can I also use a non-UK Mega Drive 1 PSU? I don't live in the UK.
      I've read that using japanese power supplies on US current will likely reduce their life span. But is that also true with these 110v stepdown converters? I mean it says on the box that it turns a European outlet into an American one.

        A Mega Drive 1 PSU of your country of residence will power it perfectly. I assumed you were in the UK as this is a UK site. The 10v difference is really nothing to worry about.

          ok, thank you very much for clearing that up. I'm expecting my famicom to arrive this week.
          Can I use a MD psu for super famicom also? Or can I use the famicom psu for super famicom?

            A MD1 PSU will power most if not all consoles from that era.
