    Default JVC X'EYE Power supply.

    I bought an Xeye on ebay but I dont think the picture showed the proper power supply so, in case it isnt, I need alternatives. The closest power supply I found was a Sega CD one at 9v, 1.2amps. Unfortunately that shortchanges in both voltage and amperage.

    You can use a ps1 (smaller system model) power supply on the XEYE. I got a xeye without power supply and I use a ps1 one.

    Go to left coast games/sega parts.com and order the sega cdx power supply, its identical in specs and works great.

    Well the XEYE requires 9.5v and 1.5a, the PSone power supply is 7v and 2a. I have heard that underpowering the system could be bad.

    As has been said, that's incorrect, better than using a Genesis 2 adapter, but still incorrect. As has also been said, finding a CDX adapter is much easier than finding an X'Eye adapter (since JVC Service stopped selling them years ago) and they are essentially the same.

    At 9v and 1.2 amps wouldnt the Sega CD power supply be better than the PS1 and Genesis 2 adaptors?

    It's still not correct. 9v-10v @ at least 1.5A. There are actually a ton of threads about this, many of which I've posted in (and asked the same question years ago).

    7.5 volts is fine, it runs thru a voltage regulator to drop it down to 5 anyway. it wont hurt it at all, it will just run cooler. the amps are what you need to worry about
