Is it safe to use an unofficial cable to power a console?
I want to buy a Super Nintendo AC Adapter Power Supply. The original ones are rare nowadays. I've read on the web that originals adapter have a component that controls the current to avoid damaging the console while cheaper (generic) ones don't always have.
I'm skeptical and this is why I'm asking:
Is it safe to use an aftermarket / generic AC adapter cable instead of an official one (made by Nintendo), even if the voltage provided are the one needed ?

Can any power cable work for PS4?
The PS4 will take whatever mains power you can provide it, from 100V to 240V. This pretty much covers every possible country's power grid.Can I use a 12v power supply on a SNES?
You can but it isn't recommended. The 7805 voltage regulator in the SNES can accept 7-35volts but the higher the voltage the more heat inside the unit can be. More heat can mean the caps will fail faster than a cooler system's would. However, 12 isn't that much higher than the 9/10 that is standard.Will an Xbox power cord work with PS4?
