While this may have been logical in 1991, and still economical today, there are MUCH better ways of doing things. Actual Super Nintendos use a 7805 linear voltage regulator with heatsink to step down the voltage. Going by Ohms law, and assuming the impractical notion you could convert the voltage with 100% efficiency, you’d have 1700mA power at 5v, but we live in the real world. Nintendo is known for quality, so I trust the labeling, and accept that the wall wart could provide what it is labeled.Īs the Model B Raspberry Pi runs on 5v, and could use upwards of 700mA, I needed a way to step down the voltage to 5v. I wanted to use the stock SNES AC-Adapter to power the system, so I had to find out what it’s output was rated for.Īccording to the label, the AC Adapter is rated to provide 850mA at 10v.
