So I returned home to New Zealand a few weeks ago and haven't touched a videogame in almost 2 years. So as you can imagine I was eager to sink my teeth back into some games.
Unfortuntely my eagerness seems to have cost me my machine. Let me explain; I have an imported US machine yet for some strange reason I completely forgot to use my power-convertor and plugged it straight into the main power (NZ is 230/240 volts (50 hertz). My Gamecube power adapter just went up in smoke and obviously now the machine won't go in.
My question is, do you think it's messed up the machine? Is it a simple case of buying a NZ Gamecube power adaptoer (Are they compatibile)? Or would I need to get a US one and use the power convertor? Hope this makes sense.
I feel like a complete nounce...I just wanted to play some Rouge Leader and Resi 4
