I went to radioshack but they had no 10V adapters. I tried a bunch of places online and there are very very very few 10V adapters available. When I do find them, they are way less than 2 amps. Can someone please point me in the correct direction for the power adapter? Why are 10V adapters to damn rare. Here is a small test video for you guys. Sorry about the quality but I'm using my digital camera:

Because there's not really a battery equavalent. 10 is not divisible by 1.5Originally Posted by Nitrosport
Why do you need 10V? Most adapters usually provide slightly higher voltage than whats needed and then it's regulated in the circuit.
The genesis and the 32x boards both run on 10V. I found a few 10V adapters online but they were like 1 amp max.
You could get away with 9v or 9.5v..
The voltage regulator inside will take care of you.. Besides, internally, they run at 5v.
Ok, I found a 9V 2 amp adapter. I'll probably buy it but I'm gonna check the swap shop tomorrow because they have hundreds of adapters at a buck a piece
just make sure you match polarity, ok?
That's basically what I was trying to say. Thanks for making it more clear.You could get away with 9v or 9.5v..

Yeah. Get your polarity wrong and that burning smell will be the smoke getting out of your regulator...and possibly other parts. Smoke is, after all, what all electronics parts are made out of. Letting the smoke out is a very bad thing since it's near impossible to get it all back in.
