Just wondering, so I can buy batteries now... well, that is after I do the LED mod (which I need a link for, link me plz) and. also what shoud the voltage be after all of that? 12v?

EDIT: and is it possible to use my GBA screen for my PS2pb

The LED mod is in Ben's book, which you better buy, and you can find the mod here.

I just read that the old PS2 draws about 1.7A, and the screen draws about 350mA. You will need a 7808 for the screen to work with 12V. Total draw will be about 2.1A.

For GBA screen, read this.

And also, I'll assume the slimline uses 1.7A also

The slimline is 1.9A according to Gamelver.

So 1.9A+350mA=2.25A so Im gonna need a 12v~(at least)4500mA battery...

and another question...sorry for my ingnorance... but what is a 7808?

Yes, a battery with those specifications will power your system for about 2 hours.

A 7808 is a regulator that drops the voltage to 8V. You need it because the PS1 screen can't take over 9V.

So couldn't I just use a 9volt battery?

or give me some battery options please

Unless you can get your PS2 to run on less than 12V, you need a 12V battery, or you will have to make an AC convertor and step-up transformer. Also, if you are thinking of a standard 9V battery, that is not going to work, because I have never seen one over 1Ah.
