Guest Jordan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I thought Dreamcasts all used the same kettle style cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 The voltage is different in different places though so the power supply wouldn't work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadKill Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 You're best off cracking the DC open and replacing the power board with a 230v one, then you don't need any stupid converters, you just use a standard figure of 8 lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caris Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Or just do the easy thing and get a £2 plug adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Yes, a £2 plug adaptor. How in the hell does a £2 plug adaptor stop the 230V of UK electricity from frying this thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
