Pictures, pictures, pictures. If we have more details (such as pictures) we can see what's wrong and help.

Re: How to get 8V from gamecube to psone screen??
Then you should use a power regulator like an 7805 or 7808 to get to 8V. Wrong. 78xx regulators are linear, meaning that they can only drop voltage, not boost it. You'd need to feed it at least 10 or so volts for a 7808 to work reliably, feeding it 3.7 doesn't work. Also, a 7805 would give 5 v...

Re: Battery Question
Running of AA's is... interesting. To be safe, I'd run off 8 (if you're going to use rechargeable batteries) but 6 is fine (if you're using non-rechargeables, I.E., Alkalines). That's because there's a voltage difference - rechargables are almost always 1.2v, alkalines are 1.5v. Now, when you wire t...

Re: Battery Question
Alight, so it's what I expected -- the charger charges the batteries in parallel, so 1.2V at a time. In order to run the batteries at 7.2v, you'll need them in series. You could take them out of the portable and then charge them, but unless you did some very, VERY tricky switch-wiring, not possible.

Re: RF to Composite video
Just a note: Each RCA connector (those yellow, red, and white cables) has only ONE data going through it. Yellow = Video, While = Left Audio, Red = Right Audio. If you shove them all into one connector, you'd get weird things.

Re: n64 portable question topic
It might be that you don't need it. Try connecting the right-audio to right before the resistor, and see what happens. Might be weirdly loud or something, but that's easy enough to remedy.

Re: n64 portable question topic
Hypothetically, you can, yes. Still think it would be better to trace back right audio to somewhere that it does work, but it's up to you.

Re: n64 portable question topic
If you do bridge left and right audio pins, you can't have stereo sound - useful for games like Mario, etc, where you can 'hear' sound from the direction it's coming.

Re: Battery Question
From what I understand, you have 2 working ports on a battery charger, I.E., 2 individual slots to charge AA batteries, correct? And from those 2, you want to charge 6? Well, if the 6 are wired in series to give you 7.2v, then no. You can't do it. AA chargers are meant to charge individual, 1.5V of ...

Re: Broken pins...
Pictures are worth > words. Juuuuuust saying.
Depending on the pins, if you can solder a small wire to the chip, you ought to be able to trace the contact down to another point and solder the other end there.

Re: n64 portable question topic
What exactly are you getting 9v from? Wall adaptor or something?
Anyway, the voltage dropout on a 7808 or usually 1.5-2V, so I don't think it'd work to drop it from 9v. I'd use 10 at least to stay safe.

Re: n64 portable question topic
7808 is a linear regulator, the resistors might have been current limiting, without seeing I don't know for sure. You don't need them in most applications. As for amperage, it depends on how much you're trying to draw. If you want to use 1.25A, then the 1A won't work for obvious reasons.
