I've been looking at getting an American SNES so that I can play American and Japanese games, I also fancy the colour scheme of the american control pad. Will my UK ac adapter work on the American console without any mods?

Assuming the US SNES adapter outputs the same as the UK one then i don't see why not.

Never heard or seen that before in my life. Is it one of those consoles that play everything and are custom made?

Proper Sega-made console, plays MD, 32X and M-CD games.

I had the chance to buy one once, it wasn't really worth as much as it is now though :/

Assuming it's the official adapter, then it won't work. PAL SNES adapter outputs AC, NTSC one is DC. Also the sizing is different. American SNES uses a odd size DC jack. You can use a Megadrive adapter if you have one around & do this

That's how I power my SNES mini.

Thanks mate, I do have a megadrive as well but sadly no adapter for it. so I guess I need to buy one and kill two birds with one stone. lol
 
Missed out on a excellent copy of Zelda 2 on eBay :( consolation I did win a nice looking NTSC copy of A link to the past. Also took delivery of a decent copy of four swords. Zelda collection grows stronger every day.
 
I've been seeing a few home brews for the Atari 2600 that's been seeking in ARM processes in to the carts to increase the performance of the console itself. And I've just been thinking how much better that could make a good console, like the SNES or neo geo.
 
I'm addicted, now bought a copy of links awakening, links awakening DX and minish cap.

Think I have about 5 copies of links awakening now :O

Nearly completed my gameboy zelda collection, just need one more officially.
