Abstract
The present invention provides a power supply device that can be successfully authenticated by any of the multiple types of connected gaming devices. [Solution] The power supply device is capable of connecting to both a Type 1 game device and a Type 2 game device, and can supply power to the connected device, which is either a Type 1 game device or a Type 2 game device. The power supply device comprises a communication control unit that transmits and receives data to and from the connected device, a determination unit that determines whether the connected device is a Type 1 game device or a Type 2 game device based on the data received from the connected device by the communication control unit, and a storage unit that stores a first ID corresponding to a Type 1 game device and a second ID corresponding to a Type 2 game device. The communication control unit transmits either the first ID or the second ID to the connected device based on the determination result of the determination unit.
