Title: Power Supply Information in Database Question
Post by: Addicted on January 23, 2015, 02:23:39 PM
I would like to add in power supply information to the database.

Examples:

Power supply that came with the system.
Power supply that will work for the system.

I was thinking power supply that came with the system in additional hardware specs and trivia/additional information for the power supply that will work.

Any opinions?

Sounds good.

I think i ended up with a printer cable for my one of my Xboxes or DC i can't remember which...

Damn generic looking wires

Would it be easier to just list the power input requirements? For example, AC DC or both, barrel diameter, tip positive or negative, volts in, minimum amps in?

@Duke: So something like this?

INPUT: 120V 60Hz 35W
OUTPUT: 9V - 1.2 Amp

Would you recommend also linking to the power supply that comes with the system in the rfgen database?

^I thought that is what you were aiming for...
Guess i was mistaken

Any and all information that you can give that would be useful should go in... though, I doubt you'll find many power supplies in the database.

Alright. I will put the list under additional hardware info similar to:

INPUT: 120V 60Hz 35W
OUTPUT: 9V - 1.2 Amp

I will leave out the power supply RF Gen database linking.

I wouldn't bother with the input for the power supply on the console page, just the input required. Both could be listed on the power adapter page.

For US NES console:

INPUT: AC/DC, 9 volts, >=850mA, Barrel Size: Outer Diameter 5.5mm Inner Diameter 2.1mm

For Famicom console:

INPUT DC, 10 volts, >=850ma, Barrel Size: Outer Diameter 5.5mm; Inner Diameter 2.1mm, Polarity: Center pin negative

Someone would need to double check my numbers, but that would provide a basis to find any compatible power supply.

@Duke: Works for me

Famicom example:

Input: 10VDC 850mA

Polarity: Center Pin Negative
(+)------------(o------------(-)

Barrel Size: Outer Diameter 5.5mm; Inner Diameter 2.1mm

That's perfect.

That can go it trivia, and have the real power that comes out on a multimeter ei genesis 1 and 2 power cords give out about 12 to 14vs
