The AC/DC adapter says the following:
Input: AC120V 60Hz 90mA
Output: 6V 200mA
Made in China (What isn't?)
How would I run this thing off batteries? If asked, Ill take the console apart and post pics.
Thank you.

Run two 3.7 volt batteries to the regulator in series.

Take a picture on the inside of the factor5 near the power supply. Then I will give you a diagram.

You need to upload the image to photobucket or tinypic or something, you can't just pull it from your email.

Unfortunately, puberty doesn't supply common sense, you have to pay extra. Bull.
