A programmable dongle from Werewolf enables USB-C charging on older devices that originally shipped with proprietary power connectors, letting users consolidate chargers across decades-old equipment.
The adapter solves a common frustration for owners of retro gear: managing multiple power supplies for devices that predate universal charging standards.
Werewolf's dongle works with devices spanning generations—from a 27-inch desktop monitor to vintage gaming consoles like the Super Famicom and external hard drives from the early digital era. Rather than hunting down lost original AC adapters, users can now power these devices from a single USB-C battery.
The solution targets a practical gap in the market. Most older electronics shipped with proprietary connectors long before USB-C became standard. For casual users and retro gaming enthusiasts, maintaining separate power supplies for each legacy device creates both logistical and storage headaches.
The programmable nature of the dongle suggests it may support multiple connector types, though specific compatibility details remain unclear. The product reflects growing momentum around USB-C as a universal charging standard, now extending backward to devices that never originally supported it.
