I have a step down for Japanese stuff that’s rare but it’s mostly paranoia
MOST consoles are fine without it. The components will accept a range of voltages before there are any short or long term issues. Mostly it’s down to flexibility in the design.
This is for US / Japan only. Euro stuff…def need a step down!
Case in point I have my 3DO M2 FZ-21 “console” on a step down converter but a friend who is an electrical engineer just dismantled one and dumped the bios…electronic design is fine from 100-135V per his looking at it. So technically…I don’t need the step down converter. But I’m paranoid lol
But they certainly can’t HURT and they aren’t too expensive so even if it’s a placebo effect probably worth it
I say that and I’ve owned a Japanese Saturn that’s had
