Need video game console help
« on: February 09, 2012, 10:47:40 PM »
Ok, since I can't take shots at of my wire, bear with me.

While re-arranging my game collection, I came across a plug wire that I'm not sure which system it belongs to.

It's basically like this:

the wire/cord and plug portions are like: http://www.nesrepairshop.com/online_shopping/index.php?productID=271  ie, same black and white wire pattern and same flat plug.

However, instead of the box that goes into the N64 slot, the other end looks like: http://www.missingcord.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=124

I don't know. But I think the 2nd end of that cable goes into the AC connector with 2 metallic thin cylinders.

That could go to... a whole bunch of things, honestly. My cable box, DVD recorder, and TV *all* use that same cable. Though I don't recall ever seeing it on a video game system, but maybe I've just forgotten...

I have a feeling that, yeah, it probably goes to something other than a game console... but I don't know. I mean, it's been down in my game room for months, probably 2 years, now with a bunch of other stuff. I figure if it belonged to something other than a game console, I would have placed at least another part of whatever electronic it went with.

These are the systems I currently have: N64, Sega Saturn, GBA, DS, SNES, PS2 (slim), Sudoku 49-in-1 pirate system, a Wii clone and NES. It goes to none of those, but if by chance it does, let me know.

I used to have both the PSX and PS1 models. I don't know if it goes with either of those, but maybe it does.

Let me know.

yeah thats a really common type of cable. The Saturn, original PS and original PS2 definitely use it, I'm not sure about the PSOne or slim PS2.

I suppose, then, it's gotta be the PSX console's wire. I remember the PSOne edition used a thin gray wire with box adapter. I got the Saturn console relatively recently and it has its own power wire separate from the one mentioned here. I guess that means it's gotta go with the old PSX I had (it short-circuited somehow).

Thanks, guys.
