oh okay, i wasn't sure if it was, between doujindance warnings against 120v and the overheating i decided it was probably that, i assumed doujindance repair would have fixed that or something.

that's a problem will all DUOs

I've yet to need a cool down period for either of my Duos for them to read properly.

Yeah, take our word for it man.  These guys wouldnt lead ya in the wrong way.  Just use the stock adapters with no converters.  Hell, even when you buy a replacement from retrogamecave, the Japanese and USA units are the same.

I definitely believe/appreciate all the help so far. It's just the weird CD reading thing that threw me off really.

If the CD drive is having issues after warming up then the motherboard either needs some new capacitors or possibly just a minor potentiometer adjustment for the CD drive.
