I have the power
Aug. 17th, 2011 10:27 pmMy apartment is really old and doesn't have very many outlets. I can only plug in so many splitters and stuff before I draw too much, and the circuit breaker is down in the hippie's apartment. Obviously, I want as little to do with him as I possibly can. As I was unpacking my video game consoles, I realized that the Saturn, both PS2s, the PSOne, and the Dreamcast all used the same basic AC power cord. The PS2Slim had it plug into an AC/DC converter box, but it's the same type of cord. Since I never use more than one console at a time, I decided to mod the N64 and GameCube power adapters to use the same cord.
( Busy afternoon... )
Next up, I'm going to put a 9V 1A DC converter in a box with the same type of power connector, and a regular power jack on it. Then, I'll make up some cords for the NES, SNES, SMS, and Genesis/32X that will plug into the box. Then, all my consoles except my Wii will share the same power cord. First, I need some more jacks like that, though.
