The GBA SP charger I have is from France. On it it says 230V-50Hz, does that mean that I can't plus it in the USA without a transformer (I have an adapter that is only converting the plug's pin shape).
Is the Game Boy Advance SP charger dual voltage

Best Answer
If the power adapter is specifically labelled as a 230v, it would be unwise to directly plug it in to a 110v plug, such as those in the USA.
You have the option to use a transformer to convert from 110v to 230v, or you could simply purchase another GBA power adapter in the United States.
I double checked on google and found this post from 2005, on tomshardware.com, from a user trying to do the reverse (American GBA in Europe).
The power adapters are different, but the connection to the GBA should be the same. If you can find a cheap power adapter in the states, it should already be regulated for 110v, and will work properly with your GBA SP.
