Introducing the RetroTap power distribution system for retro consoles. RetroTap replaces the tangled mess of aging, bulky wall warts with a modern central power solution engineered for simplicity and exceptionally low ripple. /1

Hooray! This will help me to clear up some space in my setup! Two questions 1) Will we be able to power the RT4K with the USB-C out? 2) Are there any plans to design a 3d printed wall mount bracketb or is that something you'll leave to the community? Thanks for all of the hard work into this!

At the moment there are no plans for 12V rails but I cannot say for future what the future might hold.

Integrated LC filtering and overcurrent protection delivers safe, ultra-low ripple, stable power for original hardware. A single RetroTap powers up to 11 retro gaming consoles from one power supply, all housed within a premium injection-molded enclosure shell. /2

Outputs include: (5) 5.5x2.1mm Center-Negative (4) 4.8x1.7mm Center-Positive (1) 6.5x3.0mm Center-Positive (1) USB-C 5V 4A (not PD) The USB-C port is for output only, it can be used to charge controllers and accessories, or power a MiSTer FPGA. /3

The RetroTap features input polarity protection and can be powered with a variety of 9V power supplies including: Mean Well GSM60B09-P1J (9V, 6A) Mean Well GST60A09-P1J (9V, 6A) Triad WMX090-5000 (9V, 5A) Sony PS2 Slim PSU SCHPH-70100 (8.5V, 5.65A, Adapter Required) /4

I’m hoping to have EU and/or UK distributors but nothing inked yet. I do currently offer lower cost ($20-30) shipping to Europe.
