Alternative AES power supply

But it won't work on a US first generation system like the one I have. The first gen systems use some type of bizarre adapter where Jeff Kurtz actually has to build me a replacement because even places like Radio Shack don't have an equivalent for sale. Sucks!!

Unless the NES is different in the US (doubtful) it requires AC input, NOT DC (which is what the Neo requires). So DON'T DO IT!

on the bottom of the AES it says for use with AC adapter only <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />

I see, so it is best to not use the famicom adapter, any other adapter I could use though?

I think it should also be noted that I have a second revision AES
