Power supply issues!

  Chickje

   I found that a lot of the input lag mentioned on this forum is related to
   which kind of power supply you use. If I stick the USB into my tv I have
   no issues, but with low power adapters I've had it freeze on me or play in
   slow motion.

   Anyone have similar issues?

   What's the rating of the power adapter you're using. I recall one user
   reported he had been using a 900mA adapter and had problems with freezes,
   but they went away away when he used an adapter with a higher rating. I
   think the manual recommended 1A or higher.

   Yeah, anything over 1A should work, but if you're hooking up a PS4
   controller, you need even more power.

   Had issues with usb hubs crashing/shutting the c64 mini off.
   then usb sticks crashed / shut her down to.
   seen this page and checked the charger plug and it was a 500ma swapped it
   for a ps vita power brick and now all the crashing has stopped.
   TBH this wouldnt have been an issue if they just supplied a power adaptor
   in the box, i dont know why these manufactures stop giving the most vita
   peice of kit after the actual machine.

   I hooked up a 2A, but that was still giving me issues with a Dual Shock 4.

   [2]@Chickje 2.5A should be good.
