Most psu's will be auto switching and you will only need a plug adapter but I would be quite cautious with a cheap device like this as it might be not.

It should say on there somewhere what voltages it supports.

It says 110 to 240V
I found a supposed good quality adapter on Amazon for £12.99. - should do the trick?

A quick google suggests it's a power connector with a transformer on the end. Get a photo of the plug end and it should have all the power information on there, that'll help narrow down if a simple adapter will work (which it probably will).

Yeah will be fine, you just need to convert the plug type.

Do what my dad used to do, bend the pins to fit and whack a screwdriver in the ground.

Mine turned up last night. I'm using a bog-standard Amazon power supply that came with a different selection of 'ends', seems just fine so far.
N64 emulation seems full-speed? It's been a while, but in fact, Wave Race and 1080 in particular seem far better than the crappy PAL versions we got stiffed with. PS1 seems no different than the Mini, which I can now sell! PSP and DS are bob-on on the few games I tried. Which is great, because Ghosts n Goblins Ultimate can now piss me off on the big screen as well! DC chugs a bit with Crazy Taxi, works fine with 2D stuff, but that's all on the arcade emulators anyway.
In short, don't think you're going to be ripping DC stuff to it, but for anything before that, crack on.

I seem to have bought Deathloop, Hot Wheels and Tormented Souls for PS5, Monkey Ball and G-Darius HD for Switch, and a bunch of Transformers over the last three days. Most of which is while I was merry on Saturday. My wife is going to be ecstatic.
