About this deal

I think when I was in the US, I had to use an American charger for my DS as it just wouldn't work with my European charger, not enough power was going through.

Tailored Compatibility: The Nintendo 64 Power Supply Adapter is engineered to seamlessly fit into your original Nintendo 64 console. With its custom design, it ensures a snug and secure connection without any wobbling or loose connections that could disrupt your gaming experience. At 0:54 you can see the entire PCB. The labeling in the top-right corner of the PCB reads “2.5A 125V 5A 125V”. So there are components on the PCB which are designed for 125V, but not for 230V. Even if it were the other way around opposed to your case: If you would have a 110V power grid and your step-down power supply would deliver proper voltage, it may overload the current consumption and overloading your power supply current-wise on it's primary side. But I was thinking about buying a new Nintendo 64 online, but if I do that and it still does the same thing then that'll be a waste of money. Durable Build: The adapter's robust construction ensures durability, guaranteeing a long lifespan and countless gaming adventures for years to come. Its high-quality materials and craftsmanship make it a reliable companion for your nostalgic gaming moments.Enhanced Safety: The safety of your console is our top priority. This replacement adapter is built with advanced safety features such as over-voltage protection, short-circuit protection, and over-current protection, shielding your Nintendo 64 from potential electrical hazards. Do not buy or use electrical products that plug into an electrical outlet without a certification mark.

So many things these days are mass produced, not designed to last, and make as cheap as possible for as much money as possible. We started RetroSix not as a mass market business, instead with the aim of perfection. Recreating moulds of original shells, casting them from quality ABS, redesigning hardware such as power supplies, USB-C, audio and more, to upgrade your consoles to the highest quality available. No cheap junk sold for profit. Plugged it in (with a plug adapter) switched it on that lovely red light comes on BAM No Signal. Looked it up people saying yeah those old AV cables are abit temperamental, so bought a new one plug it in....still nothing. Note: Even when I play the original Super Mario 64 and other games, it freezes randomly too and does those three things I've listed above. We believe partnering with other likeminded companies is a great way to help each other out and ultimately make products that are better for the end consumer. We have many distributors and partners around the globe who sell RetroSix products, you can find them by simply searching for "RetroSix Country Name" such as "RetroSix Germany" in google in your country for top results.Looking at prices its cheaper to buy a US power supply than a step up converter. Just to clarify the PAL/NTSC signal issue I have a smaller samsung tv I shipped over when I moved that I have as a spare, that's been working fine with other retro consoles. RetroSix is a small team of people who have been in the gaming industry and retail business since 2013, and sold consoles, controllers and even designed our own controllers and consoles. While I have seen power supplies that work outside their intended mains voltage (an early 2000s cell phone charger rated for 220–240V, which worked fine on 110V – the other way round is less dangerous), this power supply does not seem to be one of them.

So in my experience, no, the US power supplies weren't capable of handling international voltages such as 230-240V.

I believe you can use a compatible Triad power supply as well, however none of the ones we currently use for retro consoles would work without an adapter, so I think just buying the proper one is best. But I'm just scared that I may fry the system because it is getting a higher voltage than it is supposed to. Crafted with precision and compatibility in mind, this power supply adapter is a perfect match for your cherished Nintendo 64. Say goodbye to those generic, unreliable power adapters that could potentially harm your console and welcome a safer alternative that meets the exact voltage and amperage requirements of your console.
