Just to confirm with you guys, no power supply for any other system is interchangeable with the SNES power supply except for the one for the Virtual Boy, right? (Technically, the SNES and Virtual Boy power supplies are the exact same power supply.)
Out of nowhere, after playing a game these last few days for several hours across multiple play sessions with no problems (and no problems any of the previous times the SNES was used), my power supply suddenly decided to go on the fritz. :/ I couldn't get the system to start up at first, until the cable was fiddled with (not at the system port, but at the wall wart), and after I got it working, I played for around 30 minutes before the power cut out, making me lose my progress and quite well ticking me off. More fiddling can get it to come back on so it's not like it's dead 100%, but it's pretty much unusable in this state and I don't trust it to not potentially be a danger like this. I'm guessing something has come loose where the cable meets the block (despite the fact that I'm not the sort to carry or pull plugs by their cords).
So now I'm pretty much skunked. I know I have at least one extra SNES AC adapter buried away in storage on the other side of the country, but that's of no help. And I do own a Virtual Boy and a Virtual Boy power supply, but when I bought it, it had already been fan-modded to be hardwired to the controller, so that's of no use to my SNES either.
If there are truly no other alternative power supplies, what do you guys recommend here? Is a fix feasible? Should I just buy a new one? Looking at official SNES power supplies on eBay, the prices are pretty outrageous. I'm not going to pay even more for just a power supply than I would for the whole system with all hookups in the wild.
