Hi i noticed that everyone who has made a Portable Nintendo 64 has used mainly a PTH08080 regulator or another version from Texas Instruments, but im wondering how can i still get one without the need of signing up, because im 15 and i cant fill out some of the registration eg. it says Job, office n...
