I was wonderin if someone could educate me on Transformers. Here I have
a Japanese Nintendo which has a 100V to 10V wall wart iorn transformer.
Am Im I correct in guessing that this transformer is going to output 12V
on 120V power instead of 10V it would on 100V?

Not being in the USA at the moment I can't just check it and see what

If the supply is rectified and well regulated it will output 10vdc or
there abouts.

How do you get DC out of a transformer? Must be a really special one ...

Of course, it's impossible to tell from the O.P. whether the thing in
question is really a transformer (outputs AC) or a power supply (outputs
DC).

To the OP, it would help us to know. What does it say on the wall wart?
Should say something like "10 VAC" or "10 VDC" or some such.
