Super CDROM 2 to SuperGrafx jumper power cord
« on: June 22, 2015, 12:25:10 PM »
I have recently acquired a Super CDROM 2 to go with my SuperGrafx console, but of course, the jumper power cord which comes with the Super CDROM 2 fits to a PC Engine, not to a SuperGrafx.  I see this one for sale in Hong Kong for $7.00 + $4.55 shipping, but I was wondering if anyone knew a better/cheaper place to get one?  Or maybe someone has an extra one?  If my memory serves me correctly, it seems that retrogamecave.com used to sell this a while back, but he has closed up shop for now.

I think this should work.  I have a few and have been meaning to make sure everything still lines up correctly.  If I remember, I will try to test it tomorrow.

You are correct. Same size as a DUO plug. I have a number of these. I'll just hand one to you when I pick up that DUO you need repaired.

cool. wasn't sure that the original cable was long enough for that to be attached too and if it would fit in the super cdrom's cutout.

I forgot i took mine apart to recap.  maybe ill finish that up tomorrow and put it back together to test to see if that will fit.

if not, i can make one for the OP for cheaper than gamedrhk.  I have some of each of those sizes in my parts box.  should be under $5 shipped.

I threw it back together (as much as needed) to test and it works.  So no need to get another cable.  Just use one of those adapters.



Dont laugh at my super yellowed super cdrom [-X

I actually did not have the size that plugs into the super cdrom anyways.  I thought it was a 4.75 x 1.7 but its a little bigger than that.

It must have been from a Godzilla attack.  I think he gives off UV radiation.

Looks like somebody urinated on that poor SCD repeatedly. Give it a wipe, will you?  :mrgreen:

By the way, I'd like to see a top-down-shot of both pieces of hardware being attached together, just out of interest.

They tried to make me do a recap
I said no, no, no
