Title: PCE Duo R psu in US?
Post by: SaturnHST on March 03, 2012, 08:36:11 PM

I ordered a boxed/modded PCE Duo R console from Japan. It comes with the original NEC power supply, but the seller said to use a power supply from a US PSone/PS2 slim/Genesis 2 since I'm in the US. What is the safest psu to use? What do you guys (in the US) use on your Duo/Duo R's?

The seller doesnt know what he/she is talking about.  Use the original power supply.  I use all my original power supllies with my Japanese systems, including pc engines.  And yep, I am in the USA.  Matter of fact, a lot of us here in the states use Japanese systems, with the original power supply.

Ok, I just want to make sure I don't mess it up. I use a few other Japanese systems too (Saturn, PS2, DC), but Duo R's aren't as readily replaceable.

I have a regular Duo that stopped working and I'm not sure whether it was the power supply (system doesn't turn on).

You're far more likely to cause damage to your new Duo R by using a power supply designed for a different console than by using the one that comes with it.

There is a website: gamedoctorhk.com that sells all the power supplies for the pc engine range, which are 100-240v, and it is around $10 shipped.
