Hello everyone!
I've been doing my best to educate myself on poly caps and when you should/shouldn't use them however my limited knowledge and experience makes me nervous about moving forward without asking the community. I know the ripple effect exists, but have no idea if it would apply to what I'm doing.
I'm aware electrolytic capacitors can last a very long time but I'm looking for a 1 and done solution rather than recapping all my stuff when I'm old and cranky :P
I would like to know if it's possible to cap any of the following items with poly caps.
1. Game consoles:
NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, PC-Engine
Playstation 1/Saturn(have built in power supplies)
This site lists the capacitors used for each console. It may be helpful so I'm providing a link to it:

2. Game carts:
NES and SNES often use one or two 22uF 6.3v caps and Genesis/MD often use a 47uf 16v
3. Arcade boards
I would place my electronics ability at around 4/10 so feel free to simplify things for me. I won't be offended.
Thank you for any help at all as I'm very interested in this.
