Hi folks,
I just bought my brother a region modded core grafx but its a bare bones unit, any idea what power supplies I can use for it in the US? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Awesome! I'm picking one up right now, do I need any kind of converter before I plug it in the wall (I am extremely ignorant when it comes to this sort of thing). Thanks again!

JPN systems should have no problem running on USA power. They're SLIGHTLY different but both within tolerance 99.9% of the time.

Perfect, I have one on its way. Last quick question, I've read a few different things about AV cords, can I use a Master System AV cord? If not, any other type? Thanks again guys!

No, Genesis/SMS AV cables don't work on a PC Engine, the pinouts are different.

Are there any that will work besides the official first party ones? I've been searching quite a bit for them but can't find anything. If anyone has an extra, I'd gladly pay more than it is worth.

Huh? Completely untrue...a PC Engine will work fine with a SMS/Genesis 1 AV cable, but it will only output mono sound. Do you even own a PC Engine? :roll:

As stated, you can use a SMS AV cable. However, if you want an exact replacement, you can get a PC Engine/Duo cable here:

Hope that helps.

Er yes, I have a region modded PC Engine Duo, so I most definitely do have one. No need for the condescending tone...
EDIT: Apparently I was too lazy to try this out myself, as I was just looking at the pinouts instead.
