Adapter

sorry to dig this up again, but surely if you use a UK SP adapter on a US/JAP DS, something bad will happen??? the UK adapter will be feeding the JAP/US DS with 220V when it only wants 110V... ?

It takes the 220V and converts it to the GBA SP/DS's required voltage (9V IIRC).

thats what i thought, never seen a sp plug, but i think that the mega drive or/and snes was the same, a big black plug (that would not fit on some plug adapters, very annoying), for a big black box half way up the lead
