I have a bunch of retro games all the way back to Famicom and NES. I am having my brother ship my consoles and games to me. Does anyone know if I can play my Sega Genesis, Nes, Famicom, Super Famicom consoles from the USA and Japan here in Singapore?

Well, USA and Japan uses 100/110v, Singapore is 220V. In the past my PS2 from Japan blew up the second I plugged it in. My WiiU and WiiU are dual voltage even though they are only labeled for 110V. I don't want to take a chance with my Super Famicom. Not sure if I need a step up converter or a different adapter.

Use adaptors for everything from power to controllers
The more hardcore of us used to do up an arcade machine shell
Then inside it, is a PC running emulators with adaptors to use whatever controller was necessary.

Eg: Virtual On requires a 2 flightstick controller.

The expensive carts back then were the NEO GEO carts last time. About $750 back in those days.

Arcades are a dying breed with PC games becoming more immersive.

I also want to know what kind of adapter to use...


By the way, for those interested in getting old console, can pop by Den den town in Osaka, Japan. Saw quite a few shops selling there. With airfare coming down these years, can go there see.

Nintendo is also bringing in a new line of old nes :)s13:) and from what i've read, it's pretty official

nintendo.com/nes-classic/

I'm hoping they do the same with snes since i skipped it and went for genesis instead.
