Excuse me, what are you babling about?

Both NES and MD, as well as SNES, take in AC, but output DC current.

I must concur with my colleague here.

Both NES and MD, as well as SNES power packs, take in AC, but output DC current.

For the SNES it was only like this in PAL and JP regions afaik. The US SNES takes in AC current and has a kind of rectifier inside.....

NES adapters do not convert AC to DC as the AC/DC conversion is done in the system, while Famicom and GEN/MD adapters, this is why when you use an NES adapter on a famicom, it frys the system.
