Where do I hook the AC adapter to this thing? Sorry for such a basic question, but I just cannot find it, and I am still new to this machine. Thanks!

You need the tap. It plugs the AC adapter into this little brick, that slips in the battery compartment.

Yeah, you either need an AC Adapter Tap or a battery pack. Neither one is particularly cheap on it's own, but there is a modification that can be done on the controller to be able to use an AC adpater without the tap.

Just out of curiousity, how much does the AC run CIB?

After a quick look on eBay, I don't see any. Last I checked, around $45 or so, if it's in good condition. Regardless of whether or not that's a lot of money, it's still a lot more than you should ever have to pay for an AC adapter. And loose I think it's about $20 or $25, although not too sure on that.

Just so you know, there are two pieces to the AC Adapter (I think there is at least, its been a long time since I've played around with my Virtual Boy).
One piece, with the brick on the end, attaches on to the controller. And then there is the other piece, which plugs into the wall. If you don't have this one, you can use the SNES AC adapter, as it works fine with it.

Thank you so much, I no longer feel like a fool. I have a battery pack. I just need that special brick.
