Greetings,

I would like some advice regarding what universal power adapter to buy for a sega megadrive 2 (sega genesis jap version). The original ac dc adapter that came with the mega drive has the following specs:

Input: a.c. 220v 50/60Hz
Output: d.c. 10v 1.0A
4mm / 1.7 plug

I'm looking if any of these universal adaptors would work okay and won't fry the mega drive system:

I just used a spare 10v 1.0a adapter on my Master System (very similar to the Mega Drive) and it works great. The ones you listed don't have a 10v output. A thrift store is a great place to get that adapter or eBay.
