Im planning on making a xbox 360 WVI. I was thinking about using a PS1 screen and a 5.8ghz av transmitter and receiver. Im going to order the transmitter/receiver tomorrow.

So here is everything Im going to get.
5.8ghz av video transmitter and receiver- http://www.shoptronics.ca/5wiauvisetrb.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
PS1 Screen
Wireless Xbox 360 controller
Battery

The xbox 360 controller can run off of 3.3v, the receiver on 9v and the screen on 7.5v.
So what type of battery should I get and how many volts should it be? I was thinking I could get a 9v battery and step it down to 3.3v like this http://skytroniks.com/images/3v228v2.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and step down to 7.5v using some diodes, but I cant find any rechargeable 9v batteries.

I really need some help figuring out how to power all three devices from one battery. Is there anyway to step 7.4v up 9v for the av receiver? or is there a way to step 11.1v down to 7.5v for the PS1 screen and 9v for the receiver.

It's easier to step down power then to step it up.

You might not have to do that at all though, a lot of devices can run on less power then the specs say they can. The gamecube power adapter is 12v but with modified converters it will run on 5v. You can step up the 7.5v but see if you can run the transmitter on less voltage first.

It's a WVI wireless video interface, it doesn't contain a 360, it just wirelessly interfaces with one.

finally my batteries are coming in but, not till the 17th. I still need to find a 5.8ghz wireless av sender and receiver. I can't find them anywhere in Canada. I could only find them on online sites that only accept credit cards.
I think they sell them at wallmart in the states but, not it Canada for some reason.
Could anyone who lives in the states buy one and send to me. I will pay for it and the shipping cost. If anyone could that would very appreciated. Let me know if you can. Thanks.
