What USB power supply are people using for their minis?

What USB power supply are people using for their minis?

Post by /turboG16 »

So we all know these don't come with power adapters (just the USB cable).
Everyone keeps saying "just use whatever extra one you have lying around!"... But I'm not so sure about this!
The manual says 5v 2.0a for the power. Are people using 5v 1.0 adapters? Pretty sure 1.0a is what the other mini consoles require... Does the TG16/Core/PCE require 2.0a? This might be a problem!
I'm also reading people having trouble with their USB controller ports going bad, and people have blamed it on too HIGH of an amperage on their power supply (but amperage should never be a problem as long as it is above what is required). Are they maybe going bad because of too LOW amperage??
What are you guys using, and what's your experience?
