Stepdown transformer requirements for NTSC-J Dreamcast in UK

Post by Spark »

I bought a JP Dreamcast in Akihabara recently and need to be able to use it in the UK. Would a 35w 220-240V transformer be suitable for it?

I used to have a Japanese Dreamcast back in the late 90's but I've forgotten most of what's required for it these days. Ideally I intend to buy one of those universal internal power supplies at some point, but it would be helpful if I could use it through the transformer for now.

Awesome forum you have here by the way, seems like a great community. :)

I don't unfortunately, I have seen that universal psu for around £10 online though so I may get one of those at some point. :)
