Description
Features:
- Provides convenient and efficient power to your Dreamcast
- Replaces the stock power supply in all regions of console
- Requires a USB C wall plug and USB C cable (not included)
- Easy install, no soldering needed, screw driver needed (not included)
The OEM Dreamcast power supply is a combined 110v/240v AC to DC converter. This is quite inefficient and noisy, which can manifest in a “fuzzy” video signal.
Also, plugging in a UK 240v supply to a 110v Japanese Dreamcast can cause damage to the Dreamcast.
You will need your own USB C wall adapter and USB C cable, a 5v or 20v Power Delivery USBC charger such as those from Anker, uGreen and other reputable brands, most 30W charger USBC will work (they have to be able to output 15v/20v)
A screwdriver is the only thing needed to install this power board, no soldering or other technical skills needed. (Screwdriver not included)
What the robot_retro Dreamcast Power Board Offers:
Powered from a 15v or 20v Power Delivery USBC charger (e.g. Ankur, Dell, uGreen, etc.). Most 30W charger USBC will work (they have to be able to output 15v/20v).
Tested to be between 90 and 95% efficient across all loads.
Low signal noise and heat.
Drop in solution. No soldering, wires or complicated install required.
No flashing LEDS, perfect for clear shells.
Works perfectly with GDEmu.
Works with all Dreamcast models (PAL, Japanese, etc) and removes the risk of accidentally plugging in 240V into a 110V system and causing damage.
Overvoltage, over temperature and fused supply.
3D printed spacer.
Other 3D spacer colours can be printed from the files here.
Installation:
See link for tutorial and review:
Unscrew the four bottom Dreamcast screws as shown in the photo.
Remove the top lid and then remove the two power board screws (see photos).
Fit the robot_retro board in exactly the same way as the OEM power board was removed.
Fit 3D printer USBC spacer.
Button up the console.
