Can a PS1 use a Saturn power cable?

[Anthony1]

Can the old PS1 use a Saturn power cable? I'm talking about the big bulky original PS1's.

Also, I've seen alot of cables like the Saturn power cable for Radios, CD players, DVD players etc. Are they all the same, in terms of voltage and stuff? I don't want to screw up anything.

I got a bare PS1 that I'm probably going to sell, but I need to get a power cord for it for the cheapest possible price. Rather than buying a specific power cord for the PS1 at a GameStop, I'm thinking I can find the right cord at a Thrift Store. Alot of Thrift Store's that I go to, have a little section where they have power adapters and cords and stuff.

As far as I know those are mostly all the same, but I'm not 100% on it. I've used one from an import Saturn to run an import DC before though.

I've never worried about where the cord came from, as long as the molded end matches the molded socket you're plugging into on the console. So while I can't tell you positively that I've plugged a Playstation power cord into a Saturn, I can tell you that I've never had a console blow out despite my carelessness. Note that Xbox, Dreamcast, Playstation, and Saturn all use the same molded plug types, and when I've moved my consoles around I haven't bothered keeping strict track of the cords.

I suspect that it doesn't really matter at all, because each of those systems has an internal power supply (hence no wall-wart or brick on the cord), so the cord is just carrying the 110V 60Hz AC to the console's PS. The molded plug feature is likely just to ensure that the polarized plug orientation is preserved when plugging the cord into the console. And finally, I don't think that any of those consoles will demand more current than any of those cords can safely supply.

I"ve used the ps1 cord with the Saturn and the other way around with no problem. I used them on the Dreamcast as well.
