AC adaptor

[Carface]

Is there an AC adaptor you can get for the GP32 so i can plug in at the wall while Im at home instead of using batteries?
I know its a Korean model but if it can use an electrical power supply then is there a Korean to English adaptor?

You would be better off getting a multi-adaptor such as this;

You should be able to find one that allows you to change the polarity as well.

Is it the output current important? My AC adaptor has an output current of 1000mA and I don't know if that can harm the GP32...

The instruction booklet which comes with the GP32 says the current runs at either 200 or 250 milli-amps (I don't have the book next to me, but I know its one of those two). Supplying 5x or 4x the current probably would damage the GP32.

I strongly suggest you go out to your local Radio Shack (or the equivilent in your country) and buy a 3-volt, 200 or 250 mAmp AC Adapter with the correct polarity. Consult your GP32 manual first. If you don't have it, check http://english.gamepark.com

The current rating on a power supply is only the maximum it can supply. It is perfectly safe to run lower powered devices from it, a device will only draw as much current as it needs.

I have a lot of AC adaptors that are 6V, 600mA or similar.

Would the 6V/600mA work correctly? I'm ok about the current but the voltage worries me.

No, unlike current, voltage has to match the device, too much voltage will probably damage it.

You'll also need to check the polarity of the charger before using it with your GP32.
