PLEASE guys - read other's posts!!!
I did a DEFINITIVE post on PSUs - it was in the title!
DO NOT use a universal PSU. These are unregulated. You are probably getting 12-15V, peaking at 18V. Yes polarity is positive outer. Also, you need the right amount of current (AT LEAST what the Neo requires) - go read my old post to find the current.
Oh and it must be DC not AC.
I recommend a Mega Drive/Genesis PSU, if you aren't going to get an official replacement.
