My original NES-002 AC adapter gave up the ghost for no apparent reason, and while it was just sitting in a box, so I looked around the house to see if I could find something that would work. I found this:
It is from a cheap pair of powered PC speakers. It outputs 9 VAC the same as the NES-002 does, and it has the same style connector, and it powered the NES fine (I played through a game of Super Mario Bros. without issue). However, it can only provide a little less than 1/3 of the current of the NES-002 (400mA vs. 1.3A).
Is this a problem; i.e., is there a danger of the small AC adapter overheating? I didn't get any glitches or anything while playing the NES, so I assume it wasn't starved for current.
