DS development > Question: DS Power supply

#32623 - Wriggler - Fri Dec 24, 2004 12:17 pm

Only a few days now before I travel to the States and hopefully pick up my DS. Just a quick question to ask if anybody has imported from the US to Europe. Do the European (or UK) Gameboy SP power cables work with a US DS system? I read that they were the same, but obviously I want to check before I try and blow up my new system.

Anybody tried it?

Cheers,

Ben

As long as it supplies the same voltage, it should work. I believe there's only one model of SP, and so all require the same power. The same goes for the DS. Therefore, all SP adapters should work in all DS'es.

Yes they work quite fine, I myself is useing one of them since i got a japanese adaptor in my ds box. But i'm pretty much sure you'd be able to find this answer with the search feature.

I love this forum. You ask for help, and (sometimes) within 25 minutes you've got it from at least two people.

Hi guys,

Yes, I confirm that everything is OK. I was lucky to leave the States on Nov, 21st in the afternoon so I got a DS back with me (woke up a 6:00AM to get it at Walmart ;).
I am in France an everything is working fine with my french SP power adaptor. Plus I have now a complete US/UK/JP/EU power supply for my SP/DS (as the US power supply is 110-220V, IIRC).

Having the same power supply between the DS and the SP was really a great idea from Nintendo!

Awesome, this forum is great! Hope that helps out some other potential importers other than myself!

another brit here confirming UK chargers work.

Incidently, not to sound like I'm plugging or anything but if you buy a DS from Liksang, you earn enough reward points to get a free USB charger...
