Good power supplies for SNES and MegaDrive

Post by DiegoPonga »

Hi there!

I am a PAL user from Europe (so 50Hz is a must). Now the thing is some time ago I changed my PSUs for these two consoles.

The reasons were mainly:
1) MegaDrive + MegaCD PSUs are H-U-G-E.
2) SNES PSU tended to overheat even if the console was switched off.

So I solved those problems. I noticed my MegaDrive is suffering from weird, random problems related to some sprites not appearing properly...

But now my FX PAK Pro does not work. So... Is there any GOOD solution? I don't mind paying a bit, I just want a decent setup ;)

Thanks in advice!

I think Triads are considered the gold standard?
