I just bought a lose MD2 console and before buying a PSU off ebay I want to check if any of the bunch of PSUs I own are compatible. What specs does it have to be?

Look on the bottom.. ;) 10v 0.85a afair. 9v and >=1will do fine, though I forget polarity.

Great thanks. 10v is a bit tricky to find, but I have plenty of 9v PSUs I am sure.

MDII has the smaller connector like the 32x
 
Nope, negative.

Ok, I dug one out to check and it's center positive. The adapter in the picture is from an MD1.

I'm pretty sure that is a Sega Master System/Megadrive I PSU which is Centre Neg but the MDII/32x are Centre Pos.

Anyway, that PSU wont fit as the end is too big, they made the MDII PSU a smaller connector I guess so people wouldn't make that mistake ;)

No problem. It's so annoying when the PSU is sucking power out of the console, instead of sending it, leaving it weak :LOL:
Come to think of it, they should reverse polarity on the Xbox One power brick :roll:
