Questions about the Duo-RX power cord

[MasonSushi]

 Whats better to use. The Sega Genesis power cord or the PS ONe cord. I have the Genesis one, but i heard that the PSOne power brick works too. I heard that the Genesis one runs hot.

Thanks,
Mason

Don't use either.

Go buy a new adapter from Radio shack and match up the amps/volts/connector.

All Genesis bricks run hot IMO, screw that.

So does anybody know with one from radio shack I shod get?? What size of connected?

Thanks

Search says you want the 9V 1.5A adapter (part no. 273-356) with a 'Q' plug (part no. 273-347).

Thanks for that info!  I have a Duo-RX I just got recently from a guy with a bunch of other stuff and the adapter is not stock so I've been hesitant to use it too much until I could figure this out. 

Do you know if there's leeway in the voltage though?  I know the Genesis 1 says 9V but has a tolerance of up to around 12V since the 7805 regulators in the console can work up to 12V.  I don't know much about the Duo yet so I've no clue what's best for it.

So the radio shack potion is the best one then...

[SignOfZeta]

Yes. Get the one from Radio Shack. It's PERFECT.

[MasonSushi]

Why does it seem that so many people need power bricks for these systems??  Its thine they all dissapered.

Died of old age?  Cats chewed up their cords?  Destroyed when two were tied together and used as a bolo?

i was shipped an NEC AC power supply with model number PAD-129

input:  AC100V 50-60Hz  20VA
Output: DC9V  1000 mA

IS this the right one, or should I still get a radio shack one.

Thanks,

I just took my system to radio shack and said " I need a power cord for this". To which the person responded...what the hell is that?...lol.

I did that only I walked in with my duo-r and when they started with their expertise I said gtfo, I got this.

Dude told me all Japanese consoles require a step-up for US.

and then told me that you need step down for UK in the US, since I asked about a step up for an MSX while I was there.

Yeah, I step down to 220v, totally. 

herp^derp.

You too? It happens to me all the time, looking for computer parts. I once had an obviously new cleark determined to "help" me picking out memory. I told him I need a stick of 512K DDR 66MHZ. He spent about 20 minutes looking for one.

The local computer stores know me by sight after a few of those. The long-term clerks just tell the newbies to leave me alone, I know more about it then they do. Especially after I told one of their customers to change wireless phones when his WiFi kept dropping. They never knew that wireless phones and 802.11G use the same 2GHz range. Sad.

[Arkhan]

Yeah. the microcenter minions kind of ignore me now.  Its a good feeling.

Then, I peel their stupid commission name stickers off my stuff that they didn't pick out.

Fight the power.
