It might work. My experience is that you have a 50/50 chance because the Nintendo Power cord gives off ...I think 4 less amps than the sega cord. Which isn't enough to power up a genesis...BUT sometimes those NES power cords have a higher amperage than whats etched into the plug.

You can try it, worst that will happen is that your sega won't power up.

Powersupplies from SEGA are DC's, while Nintendo are AC's. Using the wrong type of powersupply might damage your system! I think it would be best to search for another powersupply or try to swap it with someone else who might need it...
