AC Adapter for Genesis (Model 1)

It works with original PC Engine console from Japan. Tested my own unit seems to function without any adverse effects from an hour's worth of play freshly hooked up as soon as I retrieved from my post box. Its my full time console power pack now keeping the games going on the old hardware.Full disclosure I already had an adapter for the PC Engine but that one works well with some desktop speakers that refused to stop humming no matter which power pack I used with same rating except the one that I had on my PC Engine but those were out of stock so I gave this pack a try on the console so thus freed up the other unit to keep with the speakers which sound so clean now.Zero complaints at all

Small power adpater so takes up much less space than oem parts from game consoles.Opened it up and did a quick test with multimeter to confirm output (9.05V center negative) and it powered both a Genesis and a Master System without issue. I believe it should work with an NES as well ( confirmed -NES uses a rectifier setup that allows both AC and DC as well as center positive or negative).One minor complaint would be that nowhere on the unit does it show its polarity. This is important since the majority of items out there now use center POSITIVE and if you aren't paying attention, you could inadvertently damage your equipment.

It works but causes distortion on my TV. Returning

Wow. So I bought this because the Tomee AC adapter I bought for my Genesis Model 2 worked great, but I'm afraid I'm running into the exact same issue another review was experiencing. I took some pictures to show the noise on the video channel from the interference this thing is putting out. I'm gonna initiate a return.2/1/17 - Got a replacement and it's exhibiting the EXACT same issue, so I bought a 2nd set of AV cables to try to test if the issue was with the AV cables, but the interference occurred on two sets of AV cables. This adapter is a disappointment and a terrible waste of money. I'm not asking for a 3rd one; instead I'm going to try the one Retro Bit sells.2/5/17 - The Retro Bit one works great, buy that one instead

Worked excellent on my Sega Genesis 1.

It says 5 feet but it's closer to 3 so I gave it 3 stars.Other than being shorter than advertised it still works, basically.That's what she said.

This AC adaptor brought my Sega Genesis Model 1 back to life, however the length of the cable is 4 feet.—one foot shorter than the advertised 5 feet. The length of the cable isn't a problem for me, but inaccuracies are inaccuracies and it might be frustrating for some people so I'm noting it here.

When I tried using my Sega Genesis after years of sitting in a box, it had a loud humming noise and waves on the screen. I learned it was probably a power issue so I bought this adapter. Now the Genesis is working perfectly thanks to this new adapter.

This power adapter brought my old Genesis back to life. My original power adapter was not powering the system and other standard power adapters not having the right specs either did not work or resulted in the picture showing green waves/bars moving on the tip and bottom of the screen once the Sega was powered up. The key feature is this adapter’s center negative polarity, whereas most other adapters today are center positive. This is exactly what my Genesis 1 needed. A bit more cable length would be great for my setup but the product works just as intended and solved the visual issue I couldn’t resolve with other adapters.

Basically the same problem that everyone else is having. It's not a problem with my Genesis. Overpriced and waste of money at $20.

It caused really bad video interference when the power cord got close to the av cable.

Si vous pensez pouvoir endurer la neige dans le signal video le temps de trouver une meilleure alimentation, oubliez ça! Sur un Genesis 1 au moins le tiers de l'écran est couvert de lignes horizontales dures a ignorer, même durant les scènes lumineuses et dynamiques. J'ai essayé de rajouter des condensateurs pour filtrer le signal sans succès. La seule raison pourquoi j'ai mis 2 étoiles plutot que 1 est que le voltage et la polarité sont tels que promis, l'alimentation peut etre utile pour un appareil sans video ou audio.

This is the 2nd product that i've bought from this brand and it will be the last. Says that it is 5 feet long but measured out it is barely 3.5 ft (1 metre, not 1.5), now it is shorter than all of my over cords and have to use and extension cord now.
