  1. #1 Exclamation PS2 Console Import 
    ZAP263 Guest
    Hi
    I am having a chipped DMS3 chipped V9 NTSC console sent to me from the US. I am in the uk and voltage here is 240v. Would i need to buy a step-down converter to put it down to 110v or is there an alternative solution?

    Cheers.

    You could change the power supply, I guess...

    Step down convertor or a new PSU. I would imagine those to be your two options.
    ALLERGY ALERT: The above post may be nuts.

    Consoles:

    Currently:
    *N64, GBA, both un-modded.

    Passed away:
    *NTSC U/C PS2 v4 w/No Solder v4 (SOLD, DRE... Laser Died )
    *NTSC U/C PS with Plugmod (SOLD to pay for above )

    Just measure the voltage of the old and new PSU, and it should work w/o any problems.
