Nintendo N64 UK Power AC Adapter By 12Game N64 Power Supply UK Version (Nintendo Wii)

Description
While I have seen power supplies that work outside their intended mains voltage (an early 2000s cell phone charger rated for 220–240V, which worked fine on 110V – the other way round is less dangerous), this power supply does not seem to be one of them. At 0:54 you can see the entire PCB. The labeling in the top-right corner of the PCB reads “2.5A 125V 5A 125V”. So there are components on the PCB which are designed for 125V, but not for 230V. Note: Even when I play the original Super Mario 64 and other games, it freezes randomly too and does those three things I've listed above.
Tailored Compatibility: The Nintendo 64 Power Supply Adapter is engineered to seamlessly fit into your original Nintendo 64 console. With its custom design, it ensures a snug and secure connection without any wobbling or loose connections that could disrupt your gaming experience. This isn't quite guaranteed, but a good rule of thumb is that transformer-based power supplies are either used for one small voltage range (either 110-120V or 230-250V) or they have a selector switch. As for “installation”– You basically just plug it in. You could choose to gut your existing N64 PSU and use its plastic as a shell, but I much prefer this method: Simply press the pins on the new PSU right over the power supply pins on the N64; With the N64 plastic case on, it will only fit in one orientation (shown above), so there’s no chance of getting it wrong: Let's see, you're plugging a power supply needing 220 volts into an outlet that only provides 110 volts using a cheap travel adapter that only adapts the physical shape of the plug and converts nothing voltage wise. I'm going to guess that this is the issue causing you problems.

A friend and I imported a couple of US units to New Zealand so that we could play US region games. As an aside, because the power supply was a removable module, we could slot the NZ power supply into the US unit and play US games, but they still put out NTSC and so ran at a different frame rate to the NZ region versions. I can remember doing an A <-> B test of Super Mario 64 and the US version running just noticeably faster. Sound Errors Sometimes when I play the game it makes these weird noises like ''Yaaaaaaaaaaaa" or ''Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" tEhhhhhhh" and then it freezes with those noises still being there.
Even if it were the other way around opposed to your case: If you would have a 110V power grid and your step-down power supply would deliver proper voltage, it may overload the current consumption and overloading your power supply current-wise on it's primary side.

One thing is that, is it safe to use a Japanese N64 in American due to the different amount of voltage the two countries get?
Official Nintendo Power Supply for your N64. These are from Japan but have been tested and cleaned and perfectly safe use in North America for your N64.Do not buy or use electrical products that plug into an electrical outlet without a certification mark. Just for overkill, i played USA/JAP games old and new on Both systems with BOTH scenarios, because NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE!!! At 0:33 in the video you get a brief glimpse of the label on the unit, which reads “AC110V 12VA 50–60Hz”. That is the input voltage the unit is rated for. Strictly speaking, even 110V in the US would be out of spec and nothing is guaranteed here, but that might still be within the tolerance margin. However, 230V is more than twice that voltage. It isn't a huge difference, and I have read online that it is okay to use Japanese stuff in American without a converter unless it's something more important like medical equipment. I think when I was in the US, I had to use an American charger for my DS as it just wouldn't work with my European charger, not enough power was going through.
RetroSix is a small team of people who have been in the gaming industry and retail business since 2013, and sold consoles, controllers and even designed our own controllers and consoles. But I was thinking about buying a new Nintendo 64 online, but if I do that and it still does the same thing then that'll be a waste of money. I would strongly advice, not to use any power supply outside it's Design Input Rating range, you are not only risking your power supply blowing up, it may also damage your device you wanted to power with. And, last but not least harmful, it may even set the whole thing on fire... Next, you can use any 12v AC/DC adapter with a 5.5 × 2.1mm barrel size and a center positive tip. I believe you can use a compatible Triad power supply as well, however none of the ones we currently use for retro consoles would work without an adapter, so I think just buying the proper one is best. However, if I tried to plug in the n64 Japanese power cords to US outlets it will fry the system?yes if you try plug japanese power cord to us outlets it would fry UNLESS you have a power plug converter it would not fry.

Just to be clear, here are images (from the links above) to show that this is possible (if forced). So I have this old Nintendo 64 that I've had since 1999, and I've played it for such a long time, but now when I just play random games with it, it just has these weird errors. I've listed them below! Usually you can not use any power supply outside the input range it's designed for. Multi-range power supplies will give you a rating of "Input Voltage 100..240V" on it's label. If they have dedicated input voltage rating then your input into the device should really be at that rating. You should always look for a power transformer converting your grid voltage to the right one for your device if you want to use it. There are some power transformers out for your purpose, depending at the power rating something like this here might be right for you:
