Video game power adapter

Power adapter for the US Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

A video game power adapter is a way to convert the electricity from a wall outlet to the type a video game device requires for its power. The wide variety of hardware in video game consoles and home computers has led to a wide variety in power adapters.

Although mobile devices run on batteries, many of them included an optional power adapter to run without batteries. Those which use a rechargeable batteries require their batteries to be recharged with a power adapter.

Power Adapters

This table lists the particular requirements of various video game power adapters. If you have additional power adapter information, or want to make a correction, please let me know.

Warning: although every attempt has been made to ensure the reliability of this table, I cannot guarantee accuracy. Using an incorrect power adapter can damage your device, so make sure you only ever use an approved adapter.
