    Default Retro-bit 3 in1 Universal AC Adapter

    Are they any good? I just picked up the 3 in 1 NES/SNES/Genesis one to use with my Super Famicom when it comes in.

    Alright, I just tried testing it with my SNES, and the picture was all wavy and the colors were distorted. And I know it isn't the system, because I plugged in the AC adapter that came with the console (the official Nintendo one) right after that and it was working fine. Just to make sure, I plugged the 3 in 1 back in to check, and sure enough, craptastic picture.

    Back to Play N Trade with this piece of crap.

    Yours might just be broken. Like I said, mine works fine with an NES and SNES.

    Non-standard AC adapters tend to be less "clean" than the official ones. If you get one that works flawlessly, you're lucky.

    I took it back and exchanged it for a model 1 Genesis AC adapter, which was what I wanted in the first place. Since they were awesome enough to do that, I got it for $7, rather than the $15 people were asking for on ebay or amazon.
