How to Power Your Retro Gaming Consoles Anywhere

Playing classic games on original hardware is a nostalgic experience, but dealing with bulky, outdated power adapters can be frustrating. The Birdcord PD→9V (USB PD Voltage Converter) is a modern, portable power solution for your Nintendo NES, SNES, and Sega Mega Drive 2 & 3, allowing you to power your consoles anywhere using a USB-PD charger or power bank.

Why Use Birdcord?

By switching to Birdcord, you can:

🧳 Power your console anywhere – at home, in a car, or outdoors with a power bank
❄️ Reduce overheating – a lower and more stable voltage prevents excess heat buildup and potential long-term damage to your console’s internal components
📺 Eliminate screen noise – clean power minimizes interference for better visuals
🔌 Get rid of bulky adapters – replace heavy, outdated power bricks with a compact USB solution
⏱️ Power your consoles for hours – the recommended 20.000mAh battery will last for more than 7 hours
