ThunderDream - Dreamcast Power Supply
This is the best plug-and-play, universal, professionally made internal Dreamcast power supply.
Features:
- Universal input, so it can tolerate any input voltage automatically.
- Professionally designed, no datasheet copy-paste circuits. Using premium quality parts and best engineering design approaches. This wasn’t built for budget but rather perfection.
- Very low noise, less than 30mV p-p at full load inside console (not an outside resistive load).
- Low heat generation, way much better thermals than all other solutions.
- Plug-and-play, so no soldering, cutting, or anything.
- Medically rated, extremely safe power module used which guarantees utmost safety and performance.
- High power, rated for 30 watts which is 8 watts more than original PSU which is more than enough for any upgrades you can think of.
Less than 20-30mV p-p at full load inside console not pure resistor load. This is very critical as mere resistive dummy load does not represent the ripple and noise capabilities of any power supply but rather the end application itself. The Dreamcast sips power at 50-60 hz intervals which inflects this behavior in power circuit itself. This can cause noise, ripple, or instabilities in cheap power supplies but not this one.
This is a Rev 2 of the design, which has these changes:
- using readily available components, so that it can be made at any time without lead time.
- the use of high quality polymer capacitors instead of regular electrolytic capacitors.
- Having a genuine Panasonic polymer capacitor at main output along with ceramics, all low ESR to deliver optimum performance.
- the main input connector is having a metal stripe now which is exactly like the original PSU which is more robust connector.
- it is now 4 layer board which helps in more noise attenuation.
- the color is matte black which is more beautiful than regular black.
- there are some minor changes too.

Please Note: When plugging in the power switch, it does not matter which direction you plug it in. It is not keyed one way or another, you can plug it in the way the wire naturally seems to fit but if it is reversed it will still work just fine.
