Sega Saturn Replacement Power Supply USBC Type C Mod - Robot_Retro

Upgrade your Sega Saturn's power supply with the Dreamcast Replacement Power Supply. Compatible with all models, this efficient and safe solution is powered by a 15v or 20v Power Delivery USBC charger. With a 90-95% efficiency rate, low signal noise and heat, and no flashing LEDs, this drop-in solution is perfect for clear shells. Plus, the included 3D printed spacer allows for easy installation.

• Powered from a 15v or 20v Power Delivery USBC charger. Most 30W charger USBC will work - it has to be able to output 15v/20v.
• Low signal noise and heat.
• Drop in solution. No soldering, wires or complicated install required.
• Works with all Sega Saturn models (PAL, Japanese, etc) except VA0.
• Works with Fenrir.
• Includes 5V header for Noctua fans and dedicated 12V/9V/5V/3.3V/GND 2.54mm pin headers for other power-hungry mods

INCLUDED:

• 1 x Dreamcast Replacement Power Supply USBC Type C PCB
• 1 x Black Spacer

DOCUMENTATION:

• 3D Printed Spacer File
• Install Video by Joe Bleeps

Installation: 

1. Unscrew the two power supply and five bottom shell screws as shown in the photo.
2. Remove the top lid and then remove the single power board screw (see photos).
3. Fit the robot_retro board in exactly the same way as the OEM power board was removed. Reattach the single original screw.
4. Fit 3D printer USBC spacer and attach the two power supply screws. Note, this does require a gentle push to get the screws to tap into the 3D spacer. I recommend to fit the first screw around halfway, then start the second while pushing down on the 3D spacer (towards the PCB). Once both are tapped, drive them both home. Do not overtighten.
5. Reassemble the console.
   

Voltage Settings:

The following voltage should be set using SW1 (instructions are also on the back of the PCB):

• Type A (VA0) = Not compatible so N/A
• Type B (VA1 to VA5) = +9V
• Type C NTSC (VA6+) = +9v or +12v (either will work)
• Type C PAL (VA6+) = Check original or use 9v if unsure

NOTES:

• After install if you are having power issues, please check your power supply and USB-C cables. Robot_Retro recommends this wall charger for the best power delivery.
