PC Engine Core Grafx US power supply replacement

Post by Taiyaki »

I remember seeing a thread about this years and years ago but I was wondering if anyone ever found a good power supply replacement that includes an angled connector (since the Core Grafx systems take the power from the side).

I've seen lots of options but none with an angled connector.

Also I've heard stories of mediocre quality power supplies introducing noise into the video right, so it seems like one has to find a quality replacement.

Would love to hear what you guys use.

I've got a triad for my cg2. Not sure if this addresses your angled connector issue but I believe these models are all tested and good for their respective applications.

You could get a right angle barrel connector from Mouser or someplace and wire it onto a Triad. I don't think any original NEC AC adapters had a right angle connector though.

Thank you! I bought the one recommended except skipped going through Castlemania games and bought it from here:

You're right. Thank you for that idea.
