I live in Europe where we have the European version of the NES. But
there aren't really not that many games for the NES here in Europe, so
I've begun buying US games on eBay. After having soldered my NES it
was able to play the games, but not at the right speed. This is
because the US games run at 60 fields/s and the European NES outputs
50 fields/s. Therefore I bought a US Nintendo from eBay so I could
play the games at the right speed. Now here's my problem:
I can't figure out how to power the NES. It needs 9VAC at 850mA.
That's the same things as the European adaptor supplies, so I tried
connecting it to the NES, but the NES just powers on and off every 1
second... I guess it's because of the powers frequency. So here's my
question:
How can i supply my NES with 9VAC 850mA at 60Hz? I've got the original
US mains adaptor, so a 230V 50Hz -> 120V 60Hz would do the job. I just
can't find any device that besides converting the voltage will change
the frequency.
As far as I know the NES needs AC because the RF modulator uses the
60Hz frequency to output the NTSC signal. The 9VAC is actually
converted to 5VDC before it gets to the motherboard.
