I know you're really an electronics guy, but do you know a little about DC voltage?

Yeah, sure.

DC IS electronics, perhaps you mean AC?

[deadlegion]

Yeah, sure.

It's about auto electrics, but that shouldn't matter really I guess. Don't worry about onboard computer or whatever, because it isn't relevant.

Anyway, say I've got a system running 12v DC using a 40-50A (not sure, just a rough guess atm) power supply, how much could I safely increase the power supply to (like to say 80 or 100+ A) before I may possibly encounter issues like wires melting?

I'm talking about a DC electrical system. Not electronics running off DC as such.

haha

I would have to sah that it depends directly on your wire gauge., thicker wires perform well under high amperages where as a thin wolire will light up!

Damn, typing on a phone is issue tough.

You plug the Dreamcast into an electrical outlet to get it electrical current.

Well the only way to upgrade the wire gauge is to strip out the old loom and replace it with a custom job.
And I'm not doing that

I guess I'll just go with my gut...check the spec of what's there and maybe look at 60A. A slight increase probably won't hurt.
It's Japanese so a lot of their stuff is over engineered anyway (not everything is though)

Welp I know what the primary subject of my study will be today. What appears at first glance to be double particles. には　では ect. Should be fun.

I'll plug you into 240V AC

[Sheik]

I'll plug you into 240V AC

Sounds nice.
I remember one time I fickled around with 240V AC, thought way back then, 240 is WAY better than 120, so it should work if I plug this refrigerator in.
Yeah.

Read the data sheet. Check ur gauge.

[deadlegion]

Dunno how many times over the years I've heard of people plugging Japanese consoles into our mains voltage here, just by using a local power lead (and not a step down converter). Yeaaaah

Auto shoptalk is even worse than sports talk.
