The Dreamcast PicoPSU mod replaces the internal power supply, which originally takes 220-240v (or 110-120v for NTSC consoles) with a modern ATX power supply.

The result is a dramatic decrease in the internal temperature of the Dreamcast. It is paired by a normal 12v (3a or more recommended) external switching power supply. This way you can use your Dreamcast anywhere in the world, regardless what the voltage that is coming out of the mains is!

Furthermore, the kit includes a 3D printed mounting bracket for the PSU socket. These are high quality brackets 3D printed and polished for 8BitMods with SLS technology.

Note: the PicoPSU supplied in this kit is an original Mini-Box PicoPSU and NOT an inferior cloned design that most other sellers supply!

Thanks to chrisz2600 for his open-source PicoDreamcast adapter project.

Edward W. ★★★★★

Took about 20 minutes to swap in and the Dreamcast finally runs cool instead of that furnace hum. The 220-240v input handling means I don't need a step-down converter on my shelf anymore, which is a huge relief for a US console.

Emma ★★★★★

Finally a drop-in PSU replacement that actually fits the Dreamcast's tight shell without any case modification. The 12V rail delivers clean power during frantic 2D fighting games, and I didn't have to solder a single wire.

Michael X. ★★★★★

Swapped out my old power board for this and the console runs way cooler now, no more heat buildup after a couple hours of play. Installation was straightforward if you're comfortable soldering.
