Gamecube power adaptor needed!

[KempStar]

Hello

I am trying to get hold of a gamecube power adaptor. I have a Jap GC, but my stepdown burnt out. As you can use the Pal power pack on Jap machines I thought I might as well get one of them. Trouble is, nowhere seems to sell them! Does anyone have any idea where I could get one?

You cant buy them independantly. You have to write to Nintendo UK and spin them a yarn about your UK Cube breaking down as they dont like people like you and me,do they kids.
Good Luck

No need for a yarn. Just phone them and order. I suggest everyone using an Ntsc cube should do this.

what payment types they accept, as i want a power lead but only have solo card ?

[charlesr]

No idea
Ring the number. I got through pretty quick

But ?21 for a power adapter? It almost makes more sense to buy a PAL Cube.

[evilmatt]

Does that ?21 include postage? Consoleplus.co.uk do them for ?17.90 but the cheapest postage option is ?6.50 recorded delivery....

thanks for your replies everyone

Ive decided to just get a stepdown, as I forgot I have a jap N64 under my bed, and I need a stepdown for that

[wod]

i thought you could use the power lead on a n64 aswell ?

[mt50]

you can get UK n64 power supplys of ebay for under ?5 with postage now you know

[KempStar]

So I take it by that you mean a UK n64 power supply will work on a jap n64?

[mt50]

yep it will.

[Pootle UK]

I second what mt50 said. I picked up a PAL N64 Power supply adaptor for 97p from eBay to use with my Jpn modded N64 and it works a charm

Sweet, thanks guys.
