The specs for an official Japanese Super Famicom power supply are:
Model: HVC-002
DC: 10V 850MA

On mine i'm using a cheap universal AC/DC adapter which outputs 9V 1000MA.
The Super Famicom works fine but after 20-30 minutes the power supply gets hot and makes a slight smell and after another 10-15 minutes i start seeing some slight vertical banding sort of like |||| but curvy (lol).
Is my uni psu bad or just cause its cheap not good enough ?
Any recommendations or should I go for an official PSU and get a step-down transformer ?
Side note: I also use this PSU on my NTSC USA Super NES and for some reason using PAL games (with Datal Universal adapter) the games show a lot of graphical glitches. There are no such glitches on the Japanese SNES. USA games work fine on the USA SNES.
