I'm looking to buy a voltage transformer. Haven't had luck finding one yet. I do not want a plug adapter. My Wii does not like 220v.

I'm in Ilsan

Do you mean converter or transformer? You can pick up a converter near video game alley in Yongsan, opposite from the Lotteria, for 15k.

Are converters and transformers not the same thing? Razz
(Unless you mean adapter, not converter... Which the OP does not want)

OP... Just make sure that the amps on your converter/transformer is enough to handle the watt load from your Wii...

(Blew up a 15a converter like that with a 1500w toaster oven... Forgot to carry the 1 when I did the math Razz)
