Can I use an american DC in europe, (Voltage) 110-220

Discuss modifications you have done or plan to do to your Dreamcast or any other hardware, or discuss devices you want to build. If your console does not work or is acting up, ask about fixing it in here.

Firstly, $90 is way too high for a dreamcast.

Secondly, No you must use a converter. OR buy a broken dreamcast in europe and swap the PSUs, but if you knew how to do that you wouldnt ask this question.

Just eBay yourself a dreamcast from your country for the easiest method.

I think 90$ where quite cheap actualy :)

And i could change the PSU but there are not many ppl selling broken DC in Norway (where I live) or ever any thet works for that matter. well then 90$ pluss the converter is starting to get expensive.

Does any one here have a european model that works?

$90 isn't too bad for a brand new sealed one with 8 sealed games.

The mini-ITX and picoPSU Power supply got 3 5 and 12 volts outputs and works with a dreamcast (if you link it to the right pin of course), it works with a 12v input.

I wish it helped you.

I got my DC for 20$ canadian. that's around 15-17 USD. Id go to ebay for getting a DC. Any ways, I must thank you for the link, because they do have a good deal on a saturn RF unit.
