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?

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?

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.
