Advice needed for using Japanese Neo Geo CD console in the UK.

Hello!

I live in the UK and I've just purchased my first Japanese Neo Geo CD console (top loader).

I already have a Stepdown converter at home with the following ratings:

Input - 230V - 50Hz
Output - AC 110v 45W

Output on the back of the console says 29W.

Do you think it would be ok to use this with the Neo Geo CD in the UK, or does the output need to be 100v max for a Japanese console?

From what I've read online, I suspect the max output needs to be no more than 100v and I need to buy a different converter, but I could be wrong!

I've not purchased a stepdown converter before so any advice would be appreciated, thank you

I use one of the 100VA ones from here:

They aint cheap but are excellent quality and I run all my Jap consoles from it.

Thanks for the link and recommendation, not worried about the cost if it's a good product. Cheers!

No problem, And yes highly recommended!

If you have the OEM POWCD-X AC adapter, you can just attach a UK power plug to it since it accepts 110V-240V.

Also, the 110v will work with most Japanese electronics. Just don't leave it plugged in when not in use.

I actually do the opposite on my toploader, it came with a euro plug and a simple adapter. It's always worked fine. If it didn't cost so much to ship to the UK I'd offer to swap with the OP.
