The problem is that the PAL snes power adapter outputs 9v ac but the VB requires 9v dc. It will work but you are running a huge risk of burning out your VB. Best bet is get down maplins and buy a converter. As far as I was aware the US and JAP adapter taps are the same. Hope this helps.
Hi, I’m also new to the forums. This site is really great. I’ve always used this site as a primary source for Virtual Boy information. I recently bought myself a Virtual Boy with Mario’s Tennis.

I have got the adapter set but iv never got round to buying a step-down transformer (I live in the UK). Also the UK snes is 9v ac so can’t use that.
I also live in the UK (England). Are you using the Japanese or US AC Adapter? I was planning on using a Japanese AC Adapter Tap and a PAL SNES AC Adapter from the UK, so would it not work without a step-down converter?
I heard on another forum that a user from the UK had no problems with the same equipment, and that they didn’t need a step-down converter.
