> Yes. Probably you could get away with less than 1A but 0.3A is way too low. I'd go for at least 800ma (0.8A) and probably 1A if you're loading from floppies.

Well, I'm loading via parallel port. But it's strange since (I said it time ago) when I load Mario Kart (original, from the cart) I have to reset in order to get good gfx and no rubbish at the screen (when race starts).

> Are you loading from floppies? If you don't have the proper power supply it helps to load games over the parallel port. The DX2 will tap some power off the PC's parallel port.

No, never from floppies. But I want use the PS with 1 A. I hope it'll help!!!
Hmmm, but I have a switcher between different parallel ports... probably if I change from copier o printer when the game is loaded (and I say probably) it can help too ;)

Thanks The Dumper for replying!
