Hi, I have bought a Dreamcast Console from the USA.
Does anyone know what the cheapest step down converter that does the job is?
They range a lot in price and I was worried if I bought the cheapest one it wouldn't work.
Thanks for any replies.

On the label on the underneath of the Dreamcast it should have the power requirements. You need to match the requirements of the Dreamcast to those of the transformer plus a small safety margin. If the Dreamcast requires 250watts, use a 300watt step-down and so on. If the power requirement is listed in Amps then multiply the voltage by the amperage to find the wattage.
Eg, Dreamcast rated at 1.5A 110v, 110*1.5= 165watts.He huihuinga taangata he pukenga whakaaro – A meeting of people; a wellspring of ideas (Maori proverb)0 -
