Description:
The OEM Dreamcast power supply is a combined 110v/240v AC to DC converter. This is quite inefficient and noisy, which can manifest in a “fuzzy” video signal.
Also, plugging in a UK 240v supply to a 110v Japanese Dreamcast can cause damage to the Dreamcast.
You will need your own USB C wall adapter and USB C cable, a 5v or 20v Power Delivery USBC charger such as those from Anker, uGreen and other reputable brands, most 30W charger USBC will work (they have to be able to output 15v/20v)
A screwdriver is the only thing needed to install this power board, no soldering or other technical skills needed. (Screwdriver not included)
What the robot_retro Dreamcast Power Board Offers:
Powered from a 15v or 20v Power Delivery USBC charger (e.g. Ankur, Dell, uGreen, etc.). Most 30W charger USBC will work (they have to be able to output 15v/20v).
