What kind of power cord does Nintendo use?

Does NES take AC or DC?

The AC goes through a rectifier in the NES that converts it to DC. It’s harmless to send DC through the rectifier, just redundant but it won’t hurt anything. As a side effect, you also don’t have to worry about tip polarity – either polarity will work on a NES.

Show activity on this post. Well an ac adapter is cheaper than a dc, it could just be a transformer in there.

Can I use a 12v power supply on a SNES?

You can but it isn’t recommended. The 7805 voltage regulator in the SNES can accept 7-35volts but the higher the voltage the more heat inside the unit can be. More heat can mean the caps will fail faster than a cooler system’s would. However, 12 isn’t that much higher than the 9/10 that is standard.
