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.

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.
