Thank you for everybody’s replies! Sorry to keep this thread going, but I’ve got one last power adapter question that only recently arose (I just received my Virtual Boy in the post). I’ve noticed that on the head unit it has written “DC6V~13V.” Does this mean that it will accept any centre-negative, DC output adapter that outputs anything from 6V to 13V? This may seem like a silly question, but I thought that the tilde may mean something other than “to” and that I had heard something like “use only a 9 or 10V adapter” somewhere before.
Thank you for your reply! I suppose I could try the Japanese tap, and if it does not fit my SNES power adapter I could just try to find a Japanese power adapter.
I believe, too, that I may have misunderstood the Virtual Boy power situation; I thought that a separate Virtual Boy adapter was sold originally, and the tap connected to a SNES adapter to save one from buying a new Virtual Boy adapter. However, it seems that I was wrong here (unless someone now tells me otherwise).
